HEAD SQUARED tennis rackets compared
Too new for independent teardowns — the current HEAD stack (an Auxetic 2.0-generation yoke and modern grommet work) is the likely story, but treat every specific claim as a claim until someone saws one open. The spec sheet above is the reliable part.

Model notes
Squared 2026
A genuine departure rather than a refresh: a dual-tube build with an extremely head-light balance, aimed squarely at comfort and racquet-head speed instead of tour-level plow. It swings faster than its static weight suggests, prepares almost instantly, and the foam-filled construction kills harsh vibration. Expect easy spin and a high launch, and expect it to move on you against a genuinely heavy ball — it favours a softer string and a player who supplies angle rather than mass.
Choosing between them
Frames in one family share a construction story but not a playing character — head size, pattern and swingweight move the numbers above far more than the marketing does. If you want a shortlist matched to how you actually play, and a string bed matched to the frame, the finder does that in a few taps.
