Head Graphene 360 Gamma Pro 2022

Introduction

The Head Graphene 360 Gamma Pro 2022 is a round, heavy racket built for control-loving advanced players. It suits those who prioritize precision over raw power.

Shape & Balance

The round shape gives a high balance point, meaning the weight sits in the head. This adds stability but makes the racket feel heavier during swings.

You get a longer contact time with the ball, which helps control. It's not a racket for quick reactions at the net.

Grip

The grip is standard Head, comfortable in the hand. The heavy weight (360-380g) means you'll feel fatigue in your arm and shoulder over a three-set match.

If you have a weak grip or a history of arm issues, this might strain you. Use a proper overgrip to keep it secure.

Power & Control

With control at 8.7, this racket shines in placement. You can direct the ball exactly where you want, especially on defensive shots.

Power at 8/10 is decent but not explosive. You'll need to put in physical effort to generate pace, which is a fair trade-off for the precision you get.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is medium feel, so you feel vibrations from off-center hits but not harsh. The heavy weight absorbs some impact, but it's not plush.

Maneuverability at 8.6 is high for a racket this heavy, but it's still not fast. You'll swing slower than with lighter rackets, so work on your timing.

Materials & Durability

The frame is carbon fiber, which gives it strength and a solid feel. The faces use Graphene 360+, a material that reinforces the frame for better energy transfer.

The core is Power FOAM, which helps dampen vibrations and gives a medium feel. These materials are durable, but the weight means you should be careful not to drop it.

Analysis

The Gamma Pro plays like a control-first racket. Its round shape and heavy weight (360-380g) give you a stable, accurate hit, which explains the 8.7 control score. You'll feel the ball well and place shots with confidence.

The power score of 8/10 is still high, but this racket doesn't generate pace for you. You need a solid swing, and the weight adds momentum if you're prepared. Rebound is 8.3, so the ball comes off the face at a decent speed, but it's not a cannon.

The sweet spot is generous (8.6), which helps on off-center hits. Maneuverability is 8.6, but that's relative—at this weight, it's not a fast racket. You'll need good footwork and early preparation.

If you're an intermediate or advanced player who likes a heavy racket and values control, this works. Beginners or those with a slower swing will find it demanding. The weight can feel tiring over a long match.
