Tennis isn't their only game, however. If a search for pickleball or racquetball equipment is what you are interested in, Head is a great place to start.

History 

Founded by an Aeronautical Engineer Howard Head from Baltimore, Maryland  (though headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands today), their first products were skis. Head tennis racquets became successful at the 1975 Wimbledon final when Arthur Ashe defeated the favorite, top seed Jimmy Connors. 

From that moment on, Head was hugely successful in attracting top athletes and now thousands use a Head tennis racquet. From there they branched out into racquetball and then pickleball. Head is viewed as a prestige product. 

Noted as providing effortless power across their products, players report stability in their racquet in any sport. Players can access a Head tennis racquet regardless of ability and may well have their best experience playing with one. 

Head Tennis Racquets

Are you asking: are Head tennis racquets good? Even a brief listing of pros who either have used or are using a Head tennis racquet would be impressive.

How about this list:

• Novak Djokovic
• Ashleigh Barty
• Marin Cilic
• Cori (Coco) Gauff
• Samantha Stosur
• Andre Agassi
• Maria Sharapova
• Arthur Ashe
• Andy Murray
• Alexander Zverev

Head's pros could have their very own Hall of Fame.

So, the question is not whether their tennis racquets are any good. The better question is what is the best Head racket for me?

Head Tennis Racquet Technology

Graphene technology is the hallmark of a Head tennis racquet. Now having gone through several generations in their typical frame, Graphene is a proprietary technology designed to hit the ball with  power and control. It includes:

1. Moving weight from the shaft of the frame to the grip and head. This generates power.
2. Adding Kraibon to the frame absorbs vibration improving control on account of a larger sweet spot.
3. Spiralfibers in the shoulders create even more power in the racquet as you play tennis.

Other Technology

• Flexpoint uses a special compound surrounding indentations in the frame at the three and nine o'clock position. Head size is not a factor as the head literally flexes creating stability even in a light weight Head tennis racquet.
• Microgel is a unique material that, when combined with stiff carbon fibers, absorbs shock even when the racquet is hitting a spin. The entire court opens up with this much control.

Exciting Materials

• MXG technology adds a magnesium bridge to the tennis racquet frame. Allowing for a longer string pattern improves the sweet spot and generates more power.
• Space age materials like titanium are found in many models. Titanium is exceptionally light yet strong and perfect for a tennis racquet.

Racquet Model Groups

Pickleball Tech

Vibration is the enemy so their Control Stabilizer Technology in some models is a real advantage. It adds stability and control for the bigger hitter by limiting twisting. Other paddles offer power to drive the ball all over the court.

Head Racquetball Racquets

Racquetball, with similarities to Squash, was being played as far back as the 1950s. Head manufactures the racquets using Graphene innovations, which is a revolution to this game. 

Racquetball Tech

In racquetball Graphene innovation improves shock absorption thereby limiting potential injuries and providing efficient energy transfer from the body to the racquet. Just like in a tennis racquet, energy transfer translates to power which racquetball players always search for.
