Our Verdict
The sweet spot between power and control. Chingotto's racket is the best all-round advanced model on the market.
Full Review
The Head Delta Pro occupies the perfect middle ground between an all-out power weapon and a pure control racket — which explains exactly why Federico Chingotto, one of the most technically complete players on the circuit, has chosen it as his weapon. The teardrop shape places the sweetspot in the upper-middle of the frame, giving advanced players excellent power on overhead shots without sacrificing the precision needed for delicate net exchanges. The EVA Soft core is one of Head's most celebrated materials — it provides a responsive, comfortable feel that absorbs shock efficiently and reduces arm fatigue over long matches. At £229, the Delta Pro is pitched at the advanced club player and touring player who wants pro-level performance without committing to the full diamond-shape attacking philosophy.
