Zephyr Pro

Head’s Zephyr line is designed for beginner or intermediate players looking for easy to play with, soft, round rackets. All have low to medium balances and fiberglass faces.

The soft surfaces exhibit the trampoline effect on balls, so you get a large bounce to pass low-speed balls, and the racket face absorbs powerful shots.

The main difference between the models lies in their weight, which, in descending order, is: the Zephyr Pro at 365g, the Zephyr at 345g, and the Zephyr UL at 340g.

Despite being the heaviest of the Zephyr models, the Zephyr Pro is a “normal” weight racket.
