The Head Gravity Pro is the control flagship of Head’s Gravity line — a ~365g teardrop with a low balance, Control Foam core and Auxetic 2.0 construction, built for players who win with placement, touch and precision.
Where the Extreme line chases power, the Gravity line is Head’s home for control and comfort. The Gravity Pro is its hardest, most precise model, pairing a teardrop mould (Head calls it round) with a low 265mm balance and upgraded Auxetic 2.0 for a connected, confident feel — one of the most control-oriented rackets Head makes.
This review covers its build, specs and on-court feel, and who it’s for. See also our best Head padel rackets guide, or browse all our padel gear reviews.

Our review of the Head Gravity Pro
The Gravity Pro is about precision over power. The low balance and Control Foam core give it some of the best touch in Head’s range — the ball sits on the face a fraction longer, so blocks, resets and placed volleys feel connected and reliable. The Auxetic 2.0 construction adds a clean, confident feedback without harshness.
It’s not a power racket and won’t blast winners like a diamond, but for a control player who builds points and values placement, that’s exactly the point. The Hybrid Woven face and Spin Surface keep it accurate with enough depth to stay aggressive when needed.
Pros
- Outstanding control and touch
- Low balance — easy to handle
- Auxetic 2.0 connected feel
- Good spin and accuracy
Cons
- Limited put-away power
- Not for pure attackers
- Premium price
Who is the Head Gravity Pro for?
The Gravity Pro is for intermediate-to-advanced control players who win with placement, defence and touch rather than raw pace. Attackers chasing power should look at the Extreme Pro instead.
How the Head Gravity Pro plays
On control and defence it’s superb — precise blocks, resets and placement come naturally from the low balance and soft core.
On smashes power is modest; this is a frame that rewards accuracy over pace.
Head Gravity Pro vs the alternatives
It’s the control counterpart to the power-focused Head Extreme Pro. Against Head’s flagship Coello Pro it leans further toward control and comfort, and it’s a big step up in touch from the value Head Vibe.
Is the Head Gravity Pro worth it?
For a control or all-court player who values touch and precision, the Gravity Pro is worth the premium — it’s one of the most controllable rackets Head makes. Power players will find it underwhelming and should look at the Extreme line.
Conclusion
The Head Gravity Pro is a control player’s flagship — low balance, soft Control Foam and Auxetic 2.0 combine for exceptional touch and precision. It gives up put-away power for placement and feel, which is exactly what a control-first player wants. A refined, accurate racket rather than a weapon.
