Which one suits you
Pick the Speed One if
- You want to spend less: it is £8 cheaper delivered today (£119.99 against £127.99).
- You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.
- You swing fast and want a crisper response: the core is firmer.
- You want a lighter racket: about 20 g less.
Pick the Speed One X if
- You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
- You want a bit more give: the core is medium rather than hard, so it is less harsh on off-centre hits.
Not a factor, because they are the same on both: shape (both teardrop), level (both advanced).
