    Gravity Tour Gravity Pro

    Playtest

    Control and feel, not a launcher.
    Full notes

    The very low RA gives long dwell time and soft, connected contact. You supply the pace and get command of placement; the 16×19 adds topspin and a dipping ball. The teardrop head keeps off-centre hits lively.

    + Pros

    • Plush, connected feel
    • Forgiving teardrop sweet spot
    • Control plus spin from 16×19
    • Very arm-friendly at ~59 RA

    − Cons

    • Low free power
    • Demanding ~328 swingweight
    • Short swings leave it sitting down
    • Higher launch on flat shots

    FAQ

    Is the Head Gravity Tour good for beginners?

    Not really. It is a low-powered 4.5+ control frame with a high swingweight. The Gravity MP is the better entry point.

    Head Gravity Tour vs MP: which should I buy?

    The Tour for a control-first 98 with an open 16×19 and plush feel. The MP (100 sq in, 16×20, 295g) for a lighter, more forgiving frame with more free power.

    Is the Head Gravity Tour arm-friendly?

    Yes: ~59 RA and throat flex make it one of the most comfortable control frames. Its swingweight still asks for sound technique.

    What racquet does Alexander Zverev use?

    A heavily customised Head Gravity-based pro frame, far heavier than the retail Gravity Tour or Gravity Pro.

    What string and tension is best for the Gravity Tour?

    Head Lynx Tour at 50–53 lbs (22.5–24 kg). Hyper-G at 48–52 for spin; a gut hybrid for maximum feel.

    Is the Gravity Tour a control or power racquet?

    Control. The power it has is mass-based, from the swingweight, not a springy beam.
