How to Prepare, String, and Maintain Your HEAD Gravity Team Racquet

Step 1 — Unpack & Inspect
Remove the racquet from its packaging. Inspect the frame for visible damage (cracks, paint chips, warping). Confirm grip size and check the throat and grommets for clean finishing—report any shipping damage immediately.

Step 2 — Decide Stringing Specs
Select a string type and tension suited to your style. The Gravity Team’s 16×20 pattern works well with multifilament strings for comfort or polyester for durability and spin. Common tension ranges: 50–56 lbs for all-round play; adjust ±2 lbs for personal preference.

Step 3 — Professional Stringing
Have the racquet strung by an experienced stringer who uses a quality stringing machine. Proper stringing maintains frame shape and prevents grommet damage. If you plan to change string types, inform the stringer to use a tension that complements both the frame and your playstyle.

Step 4 — Set Up Grip & Overgrip
Choose the correct grip size; add replacement grip and overgrip as needed. A well-fitted grip improves control and reduces the risk of slippage and injury. Replace overgrips regularly if you sweat frequently.

Step 5 — On-court Checking
Before match play, ensure strings have settled (new strings can feel lively). Adjust tension after the first few hours of play if needed. Check that the bumper guard and grommets are intact to avoid frame wear.

Step 6 — Cleaning & Storage
Wipe the frame with a soft cloth after use. Avoid storing the racquet in extreme heat or direct sunlight—this can degrade adhesives and strings. Use a protective cover and store horizontally or hanging by the handle to prevent warping.

Step 7 — Troubleshooting & Maintenance
If frame feels unbalanced or warped, stop using the racquet and have it checked—warpage is usually irreparable. Excessive string notches or buzzers indicate time to restring. If you notice persistent loss in feel, consider a different string type or slightly higher tension for more control. For grip slippage, increase overgrip frequency and check handle buildup.

Following these steps ensures the HEAD Gravity Team performs at its best—delivering consistent feel from practice to match play.

Q1: Is the Head Gravity Team racquet good for beginners?
The Gravity Team is best suited for intermediate and next-generation team players who want a lighter, more maneuverable frame with a large sweetspot. Beginners can use it—its forgiveness and easy handling help learning—but absolute beginners might prefer an even more forgiving, lower-weight beginner racquet. If you’re committed to improving quickly and want a racquet that scales with your skill, the Gravity Team is a strong choice.

Q2: What is the difference between Head Gravity Team and Gravity Lite?
The Gravity Team is slightly heavier (285 g unstrung) and designed for more aggressive team play, offering a larger sweetspot and added stability. Gravity Lite models are lighter overall and focus primarily on maneuverability for players who prioritize swing speed over mass. The Team offers a balance of control and forgiveness, while the Lite emphasizes ultra-easy handling for quicker reaction play.

Q3: What is the weight of the Head Gravity Team Tennis Racquet?
The Gravity Team weighs 285 g unstrung (10.1 oz). This places it in a versatile category: light enough for rapid manoeuvres and volleying, yet with enough mass once strung to provide stability and control. Players often add string and replacement grips, which increase the in-hand weight slightly—helpful to know when choosing string tension and overgrips.

Q4: What string pattern and string tension are recommended?
The Gravity Team has a 16×20 string pattern, which balances spin potential with control. For recreational to intermediate players, a tension range of 50–56 lbs offers a good mix of power and control. Advanced players may tune tension based on playstyle—higher tension for more control, lower for added power. Always use a reputable stringer and check manufacturer string tension recommendations before stringing.

Q5: How durable is the Auxetic technology and frame for frequent team use?
Auxetic technology enhances impact feel without compromising structural integrity. HEAD frames with Auxetic construction are engineered for repeated play and competitive use; however, durability also depends on stringing practices, court surfaces, and storage. Keep the racquet in a protective cover, avoid extreme temperatures, and restring at appropriate intervals to maintain peak performance and longevity.
