Head Zephyr Review

Round-shaped beginner racket from Head. Best for beginners and control players who want a big, forgiving sweet spot.

Shape: Round · Balance: Low · 350 g · $110

Spin5

Low balance, biggest sweet spot, maximum control and forgiveness. Best for beginners and defensive players. The Head Zephyr fits squarely in that mould: a low balance places the weight toward the handle for fast hands and easy blocking, and the Fiberglass face flexes for a softer, arm-friendly feel.
