Head Zephyr Ultra Light 2022

Introduction

The Head Zephyr Ultra Light is a round, lightweight racket for players who value speed and comfort over raw power.

Shape & Balance

The round shape gives you a more balanced feel. The sweet spot is central, which helps with control.

This shape also makes the racket less top-heavy, so it swings with less effort. You’ll find it easy to maneuver, especially at the net.

Grip

The grip is standard Head size. It feels comfortable in the hand, with no pressure points.

Over a long match, the light weight reduces arm fatigue. You won't feel as worn out compared to heavier rackets.

Power & Control

Power is low at 4.8/10. You won't get easy pop on smashes or flat drives. You need to focus on timing and technique to add pace.

Control is strong at 7/10. The round shape and medium-soft feel help you place shots with accuracy. If you prioritize placement over power, this works.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is high, thanks to the Comfort FOAM core. Vibrations are dampened well, and your arm will thank you after long sessions.

Speed is exceptional. The 9.9/10 maneuverability makes it one of the fastest rackets you'll swing. You'll react quickly at the net and in defense.

Materials & Durability

The frame is carbon fiber, and the faces are carbon fiber with Graphene 360+. This combo gives a good balance of durability and lightness.

The core is Comfort FOAM, which adds to the soft feel. These materials are common in modern rackets, so longevity should be fine with normal use.

Analysis

This racket plays fast. The 9.9/10 maneuverability rating means you can whip it into position easily, which helps in quick exchanges at the net. Its light weight makes it forgiving on off-center hits, and the sweet spot is large, so you won't lose many points on mis-hits.

Power is low at 4.8/10. You’ll need to generate pace yourself with a full swing. If you're used to heavier rackets, you may find yourself hitting shorter balls.

Control is solid at 7/10. You can place shots well, and the round shape helps keep the ball in play. The rebound is high, so the racket does some of the work in defensive lobs and resets.

This racket suits beginners, defensive players, or anyone with a slower swing. If you’re an aggressive player looking for easy power, look elsewhere.
