HEAD Gravity Team Light 2024 Padel Racket
Overview
The HEAD Gravity Team Light is a round, lightweight padel racket for beginners and intermediate players. At just 340g, it is the lightest racket in the Gravity range. A soft fiberglass face and Control Foam core give a forgiving feel and a wide sweet spot.
This racket is built for control and easy handling, not raw power. The light 340g frame swings fast and feels gentle on your arm. That makes it a kind choice for new players and juniors. It also suits anyone who wants to protect their elbow.
The round shape sits at the heart of this design. It centres the sweet spot for more forgiving, consistent contact. Off-centre hits stay stable instead of twisting in your hand. If you want a heavier feel, the Gravity Team 2024 adds 20g. Padel suits all seasons, so this easy, comfortable feel works year round.
Features
- Lightweight build: at 340g it is the lightest racket in the Gravity range.
- Easy to swing: the low weight helps fast volleys and quick net play.
- Forgiving sweet spot: the round shape keeps off-centre hits stable and steady.
- Arm-friendly: Control Foam and a soft handle cap cut shock and vibration.
- Soft, comfy touch: the fiberglass face flexes for extra feel and easy power.
- Built to last: the Integrated Protector System guards against chips and scratches.
Design and Materials
The HEAD Gravity Team Light pairs a carbon fiber frame with soft fiberglass faces. Press into the ball and you feel a medium-soft, cushioned response. This is what gives the racket its forgiving, comfortable touch. Inside sits Control Foam, which widens the sweet spot and soaks up vibration.
Graphene 360+ runs through the frame to add flex and a clean feel. It also helps move energy into the ball for easy power. The trade-off is honest. A 340g racket gives up some punch on heavy smashes. Strong hitters chasing power may want a heavier frame.
Key Technologies
Graphene 360+: A light, strong material woven through the frame. It adds flex, moves energy into the ball, and gives a clean impact feel.
Control Foam: A soft inner core that widens the sweet spot. It absorbs vibration for a comfortable, controlled hit on every shot.
Integrated Protector System: A pre-molded carbon bumper on the frame. It guards against chips and scratches to extend the life of the racket.
Soft Handle Cap: A softer end cap on the handle. It cuts vibration into your wrist and improves grip comfort.
