Gravity Team 2024
Our Verdict
The HEAD Gravity Team 2024 is a well-judged tool for intermediate players who want to build a more disciplined, tactically intelligent game. The round shape delivers a generous and forgiving sweet spot, while the Control Foam core and fiberglass face keep the ball on the strings long enough to shape shots with real intention. Auxetic 2.0 adds a responsive, connected feel that punches above this racket's price point, and the Graphene-reinforced frame keeps the structure stable without adding unnecessary weight. If you are an intermediate player prioritising control, touch, and consistency — particularly on volleys, trays, and back-court construction — this racket gives you a reliable, technically sound platform to develop on.
Gravity Team 2024
The HEAD Gravity Team 2024 is a lightweight, low-balance control racket aimed squarely at intermediate players looking to sharpen technique without fighting their equipment. Its round shape, soft fiberglass face, and Control Foam core prioritise touch, placement, and comfort over raw power.
- You feel the ball sitting on the strings for a fraction longer with each touch, which translates into noticeably cleaner placement on trays and volleys — a direct result of the Control Foam core widening the sweet spot and softening the response.
- The racket feels almost effortless to manoeuvre in tight net exchanges, thanks to its low balance keeping the weight close to the hand and reducing the swing momentum needed to redirect fast balls.
- Vibration is well-managed throughout the frame — the combination of the Soft Butt Cap and Auxetic 2.0 structure means your hand absorbs less shock on off-centre contacts, which adds up across a long session.
- Attacking players who rely on smash power and aggressive net play will quickly find the soft fiberglass face and low balance give them little to work with when looking to put the ball away decisively.
About This Racket
Fiberglass face — the most flexible surface material in padel. Absorbs pace on contact and returns it with a natural flex effect, particularly effective on softer touch shots. Most forgiving option for off-centre hits, and easiest on the arm over long sessions.
Foam core — the softest core material available. Excellent vibration absorption and a large effective sweet spot, making it the most forgiving option on off-centre hits. Particularly effective on touch shots and soft play — less suited to players who rely on hard, flat striking for power.
Round shape with low balance. The most forgiving combination available. Maximum sweet spot coverage, fast handling, and easy manoeuvrability. Designed for players who want to keep the ball in play consistently without demanding precise technique on every shot.
Club players developing their game who want to improve shot placement and consistency. Suits players who are building their technique and want a racket that rewards accuracy rather than power.
