Description
The HEAD Graphene Speed 120 is built for offensive squash players who thrive on fast-paced front-court play, quick volleys, and precise ball placement. Whether you are training at a club in Mumbai, competing in state-level tournaments in Bengaluru, or sharpening your game at a coaching academy in Delhi or Jaipur, this racket delivers the HEAD-engineered technology trusted by squash players across India.
ULTRALIGHT 120G FRAME — SWING SPEED AT ITS BEST
At just 120 grams, the Graphene Speed 120 is among the lightest squash rackets in HEAD’s performance range. This ultralight build translates directly into faster swing speeds and quicker reaction times — critical when you are cutting off the ball early at the front of the court or playing tight volleys at the T.
The lightweight feel also reduces strain on the arm during long matches, helping you maintain swing speed and technique consistency from the first rally to the final point of a five-game match. Offensive-style players who rely on quick wrist action for drops, boasts, and kill shots will feel right at home with this frame.
AUXETIC CONSTRUCTION — RESPONSIVE FEEL ON EVERY SHOT
Exceptional Ball Feedback
HEAD’s Auxetic technology uses a unique fibre construction that actively responds to ball impact — the structure widens under tension and contracts under compression, giving you a more refined, connected feel for the ball. This precise feedback helps you read incoming pace and spin, so you can adjust your shot selection in real time during fast rallies.
Clean Power Transfer
The Auxetic construction also improves energy transfer on hard-hit shots. Your swing energy translates more directly into ball speed with less lost to vibration or frame deformation. The result is cleaner, more predictable power on drives and kill shots.
STRINGBED X-TENSION — EXTENDED TRAMPOLINE EFFECT
The Stringbed X-Tension technology features a groove in the upper frame that enlarges the space where strings move during ball contact. This extended movement zone creates a stronger trampoline effect, adding ball acceleration and depth to your shots without requiring more swing effort.
This is the kind of power assist that helps players keep opponents pinned deep in the back corners — a crucial tactical edge in modern squash where positioning wins points.
ADAPTIVE FAN PATTERN (AFP) — CUSTOMISE YOUR PLAY
The HEAD squash racket Graphene Speed 120 features Adaptive Fan Pattern technology — a versatile stringing option that lets you customise the racket to your playing style. Choose the straight string pattern to maximise power for attacking drives and kill shots. Or switch to the fan-shaped pattern when control and ball placement become your priority.
This flexibility is rare in a squash racket at this weight class. It means you can adjust the racket’s character based on opponents, court conditions, or match situations — a real competitive advantage for players who adapt their strategy mid-match.
OCTAGONAL POWER TECHNOLOGY
The Octagonal Power Technology in the shaft uses an octagonal cross-section to add torsional stiffness. This keeps the frame stable on off-centre hits, delivering clean power transfer even when contact is not perfect. The technology also contributes to the frame’s solid feel on impact — you get confident, crisp response on every stroke.
WHO SHOULD BUY THE HEAD GRAPHENE SPEED 120
The HEAD Graphene Speed 120 squash racket suits offensive squash players who favour fast front-court play, quick volleys, and precise ball placement over raw power. Advanced and professional-level players will appreciate the ultralight 120g frame that responds to quick wrist action and delivers fast swing speeds. Players transitioning from heavier frames to a more aerodynamic setup will find the weight reduction a meaningful performance gain.
Players across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and Gurugram looking for a genuine 2023 HEAD frame with Auxetic construction and AFP customisation will find this racket delivers strong value at its price point.

Q5. Is the Graphene Speed 120 suitable for beginners?

Ans. Store the racket in a padded squash racket cover when not in use. Avoid leaving it in extreme heat, like a parked car during Indian summer.
