I demo'd the Head gravity pro 3 years ago (2021 model?) and liked it a lot. It had a good weight and density that plowed through the ball well. The small beam sliced through the air well but the flex was a bit more than I was used to. It feels good overall but it also felt a little harder to control the angle than the Head speed pro which I ended up buying. The Speed pro was more responsive and predictable for me against really hard shots like serves.
Now the Boom pro which I just bought feels a bit stiffer (and is on specs) but the weight feels so much more maneuverable. I'm able to move it much faster than my speed pro and get a lot more spin with control. All these head racquets like full, long swings. They aren't as forgiving on flat shots as other racquets I used to use like wilsons, or pure strikes. (note the gravity, speed pro are 18x20, Boom pro is 16x19 but it feels so stable to me)
I wasn't in the market for a new racquet, my friend demo'd it and I played so much better with it and this price was so cheap I bought it. I didn't try the new 2024 model because 1: it's not out yet, and 2: it's full MSRP like most new model racquets at $269 and I generally need 3-4 racquets due to how often I break strings (3-6 hours).
for strings, unless you need durability dont use poly. syn gut/multi would be fine
- be careful with the racquet weight - if it is heavier than what you can handle, it may lead to wrist or arm or shoulder issues. The heavier the racquet not necessarily the better. You can add lead tape if you feel it is somewhat light (I did that on the handle to slightly tweak the balance).
- strings are a personal preference - I moved from Solinco Hyper G Soft to Luxilon Eco because it is a softer poly string which provides great feel and results for me. I could not play well with other Luxilon and other brand's polys ... not because these are bad strings, but due to my personal taste and overall strength/technique.
- multifilament strings last 3 weeks max - try to find a soft poly and more comfortable tension so that you don't waste the saving in restringing your racquet every month. A soft poly such as Luxilon Eco could be a good substitute for multi-filaments (but it depends on your situation).
- I did not like the idea of buying a smaller grip and then replacing it with a thicker one or adding double/triple overgrips -- I lost power, feel, control, and it feels so spongy and soft that is is hard to maneuver on volleys. I started to tighten the grip which led to wrist pain over time.
- This is an amazing price for a new tennis racquet for a 3+ player/recreational player. Tennis racquets are so expensive nowadays that at this price I think it is very tempting.
- Try to demo it , although I think you would need to play for a month or so before reaching a solid conclusion (you may need to get use to the new racquet, improve your strokes/technique, etc.) - maybe just purchase it and resell for $50 or so to recoup part of the cost if you don't like it.

Anyone hit the Boom and the Gravity and have any comparison? I got 3 of the gravity through a dealer on a similar deal, but want to get some extra racquets for teaching lessons.
If you're on a budget, like most of us are, getting last years model like this on rarely deep discounted high end racquets is a great move. Demo and hone in what you like and the strings. With TW you get $25 off, (I got $25 off each racquet), then you often get a 2x racquet discount when you purchase 2 or more at a time. You can bring the price down $35 each on top of a sale price. I did that for all my recent racquets, Babolat Pure Strikes, Head Speed Pro, Head Boom Pro. I bought racquets for others the same way.
Thanks for the detailed comparison, sounds like TW has a easy to deal with Demo process so I will give it a shot.

Also it only goes towards your purchase if the racket you're buying is above a certain price(iirc it was $150) but they don't mention that part on the webiste, which i thought was a little sus(or maybe i didn't look hard enough) so want to warn others. other than that TW has been fine to do business with
For beginners, they won't know the difference until they get better. It's the same as giving someone who never drank coffee a drip coffee or americano. They won't be able to identify the various nuances and tasting notes.
Main thing is the weight and grip size. Lighter is better for beginner players.

Go with a small grip 1/4 if possible.
Worst case you can probably sell this racquet used for $50-80 easily when they know what they want.
