Overview
The Gravity PRO EX15 uses an EPP foam core and a 12K raw carbon fiber face. Its 15mm thickness favors touch and stability, while the textured surface helps grip the ball for spin. HEAD also describes foam layers and a perimeter structure designed to broaden the sweet spot and soften vibration.
At about 8.3 ounces, this paddle should feel quick during fast exchanges. PaddleSpecs measured a light swing weight, which supports maneuverability, but also a low twist weight. If you miss the center, your shot can lose more pace. The hybrid shape raises the sweet spot, and the 5.5-inch handle supports a two-handed backhand.
Play style
Choose this paddle if you build points with placement rather than raw power. The thicker core and foam construction suit soft hands at the kitchen, resets, drops, and precise dinks. Retail staff describe its response as stable, dampened, and forgiving, while PaddleSpecs measured low power and above-average pop.
The raw carbon face supports topspin drives and shaped dinks. Its light swing weight helps you react quickly during volley exchanges, and the hybrid shape gives you useful reach without making the paddle feel slow. If you rely on big baseline swings, you may find its lower power limiting. If you often miss the center, you may also notice more pace loss because of the low twist weight.
Best for
- Choose it if you prioritize resets, drops, and soft hands at the kitchen
- Choose it if you want quick reactions during fast volley exchanges
- Choose it if you use a two-handed backhand and value a longer handle
- Choose it if you want raw-carbon spin for topspin drives and shaped dinks
Look elsewhere if
- Look elsewhere if you need maximum power on serves and baseline drives
- Look elsewhere if you frequently miss the center and need strong off-center stability
- Look elsewhere if you prefer a heavier, more solid feel through contact
- Look elsewhere if you want an especially head-heavy paddle
Strengths
- The 12K raw carbon fiber face supports spin and controlled ball shaping
- The 15mm EPP foam core favors touch, stability, and a dampened response
- The light swing weight supports quick hands at the net
- The hybrid shape raises the sweet spot for more consistent contact
- The 5.5-inch handle supports a two-handed backhand
Things to consider
- PaddleSpecs measured low power, so you may want more help from the paddle on big baseline swings
- The low twist weight means off-center hits can lose more pace
- The lightweight setup may feel less stable than a heavier paddle on hard contact
- Listings differ on some construction details, so check the seller's exact model specifications
