Head’s Gravity line is marketed for intermediate players. The line is made up of three models with the typical Head monickers: Gravity Elite, the softest model; Gravity Motion, the lightest model; and Gravity Pro, the hardest model.
They all have the same teardrop shape (that Head calls “round”). The differences lie in their weights, surfaces, and foam cores.
The Gravity Elite is made with a fiberglass surface and a medium-soft core, which absorbs the ball upon impact. This will help pass balls to the other side of the court with minimal effort.
We recommend the Gravity Elite for early intermediate players seeking a soft teardrop. Its fiberglass surface and foam core gives it a massive sweet spot.
