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.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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.

The Core
Control Foam
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.
