Head MX Spark Elite blue

Light is the point here: at 265 g the Spark Elite is the lightest in its series. For a newcomer a light frame means longer practice without a sore shoulder and quicker reactions when the ball comes at the body.

Its 102 sq in head is slightly larger than on the other Spark models, and the string bed forgives more mishits. The balance is 335 mm, and spin comes readily off the open 16x19 pattern. Pre-strung and built on a graphite composite frame, it is ready for the first lesson. The Pro weighs 270 g, the Suprm and Tour 275 g each, all three with a 100-inch head.
