Head Size

Both the HGP and HGMP tennis rackets have a 100in Midplus head size, which is pretty standard nowadays.

Length

The HGP and HGMP have a standard racket length of 27 inches.

Strung Weight

The strung weight of the HGP (332g/11.71oz) is 20g heavier than the strung weight of the HGMP (312g/11.01oz), so the HGP is significantly heavier than the HGMP.

Both the HGP and the HGMP would be considered to be heavy rackets.

Unstrung Weight

The Gravity Pro has an unstrung weight of 315g (11.11oz), while the Gravity MP has an unstrung weight of 295g (10.41oz).

Swing Weight

The HGP has a swing weight of 332g (11.71oz), which is 9g heavier than the HGMP (323g/11.39oz) so the HGMP will be easier to swing and maneuver (especially at the net).

Balance

The Gravity Pro has a 6pts Head Light (or “HL”) balance, while the Gravity MP has a 3pts HL balance.

Stiffness Rating

Both tennis rackets have a stiffness rating of 62, which when compared with other similar rackets is relatively low.

Beam Width

The Gravity Pro (20mm/20mm/20mm) has a thinner beam width when compared with the Gravity MP (22mm/22mm/22mm), with both rackets focused more on control than power.

Power and Control

Both rackets are relatively low powered rackets with the HGMP being more powerful than the HGP.

However, the HGP with its thinner beam width and more HL balance is better in terms of control.

Recommended Player Level

Due to their weight and relatively thin beam widths, these rackets are best used by advanced tennis players.

However, the HGMP could be used by an intermediate player as it has a more manageable strung and swing weight.

String Pattern

The Gravity MP has a 16 x 20 string pattern, while the Gravity Pro has an 18 x 20 string pattern, with both string patterns providing a good level of control.

Grip Type

Both tennis rackets come with a Head Hydrosorb Pro Grip as standard.
