Expert Reviews of the Head Alpha Pro
Need to have a intermediate advanced level to enjoy the racket properly, can be technical. For example, I found it difficult to maintain deep lobs.
Low power
Easy to manage and it absorbs vibrations very well
Great level of control and sensitivity
Very wide sweet spot
Best for players of intermediate-advanced level looking for a comfortable, maneuverable medium touch racket with medium balance and a large sweet spot
High ball output delivers strong volleys, but can result in shooting balls at the glass if you’re not careful. Bandejas went out like missiles.
It has a very nice balance, less in the head than previous version, which helps with maneuverability. I liked it a lot in the serves, you can feel the maneuverability, the racket doesn’t feel like it stays behind you
Very large sweet spot, wherever you hit the ball, the rackets responds well
With its high weight (373g with overgrip) and its 27cm balance, this is not a maneuverable racket. Medium hard touch. It doesn’t have a high ball output, you need to use proper form to pass the ball.
Power comes out really well for me. Head says that it has low power, but it doesn’t have low power for me.
In bandejas and viboras, you feel the weight, the pull back feels a bit slow, but then the ball goes where you want it to go.
Best for an advanced player with excellent technique, it’s definitely not super powerful. The shape makes it more aggressive and technical, I think it could have been nice as a round-shaped racket with a lower balance. As it is, it has an excellent feeling, but it’s not very easy to use.
It’s powerful, but not super.
It’s not the most maneuverable - it has a high balance, weighs around 375g.
It’s strong in its touch. It plays like a glove. I recommend it to players who don’t have a strong arm so they use their handling to control the point (like Sanyo).
A multipurpose racket intended for a large number of players, especially those who like the control game or are transition players.
Without proper technique can go to the glass if the bandejas or viboras are very heavy since the rubber core makes a small rebound effect on the ball.
At the bottom of the court, we notice how big the sweet spot of the shovel is, greatly facilitating off-center blows and serving, its incredible ball output.
