Product description

About this product

Instinct Team Tennis Racquet – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

The Instinct is HEAD’s easy-power line, currently in its 2025 generation – a good frame for a club player who wants power and comfort in something manoeuvrable.

The difficulty with this listing is that HEAD make two different Team frames in the line, and they are not interchangeable.

The Instinct Team is 100 square inches, 285 g unstrung, 690 mm long, 320 mm balance, 16 by 19 – and in the European market it is sold unstrung. It is the more controlled of the two, for a regular club player with a full swing.

The Instinct Team L is 107 square inches, 287 g strung and 270 g unstrung, 1 point head heavy, swingweight 301, flex 63, on a 23 to 26 mm beam. It is lighter and more forgiving – the improver’s and doubles player’s option.

Seven square inches and fifteen grams is a real difference, and so is whether the racket arrives strung or not – an unstrung frame needs stringing before you can play, which changes the price comparison against a pre-strung racket entirely. So rather than publish one frame’s figures against the other, we are confirming with the supplier which we hold. Message us and we will tell you before you order.

One further honest note: retail sources disagree on the technology in the 2025 generation, some citing Auxetic and others Graphene 360+. We could not resolve that from HEAD directly, so we are not printing a technology name.

Questions

Good to know

Why does the page not give one specification?

Because HEAD make two different Instinct Team frames - the Team at 100 square inches and the Team L at 107 - and publishing one set of figures against the other would be a misdescription. We are confirming with the supplier which we hold.

Which of the two would suit me?

The Team L at 107 square inches and 270 g unstrung is lighter and more forgiving - the improver's and doubles option. The Team at 100 square inches and 285 g is more controlled, for a regular club player with a full swing.

Does it come strung?

The European Instinct Team is sold unstrung, which means a stringing job before you can play. The Team L is generally sold strung. That difference matters for the price comparison, and it is part of what we are confirming.

What does head size change?

How much the racket helps you against how much control you have. A bigger head means more power and a bigger sweet spot that punishes mishits less - which is why beginners should start oversize. A smaller head means more control and more feedback, which is what a player with a full swing needs to keep the ball in. Under 100 square inches is control; 105 to 110 is forgiving; above 110 is maximum help.

When do strings need replacing?

Long before they break. Strings lose tension and elasticity from the day they go in - the stringbed goes dead while looking perfect. The old rule still holds: restring as many times a year as you play per week. Twice a week, twice a year. At minimum once a year regardless, and sooner here, because heat accelerates tension loss badly.

What does string gauge mean?

How thick the string is. It is quoted in millimetres and in a US gauge number where higher means thinner - 1.20 mm is 17 gauge, 1.30 mm is 16. Thinner bites the ball more for extra spin and feel, and breaks sooner. Thicker lasts considerably longer and feels firmer and more controlled, with less spin. 1.25 mm is the sensible middle.

How does the climate here affect equipment?

Heat is hard on strings - polyester loses tension fastest of all string types and heat accelerates it sharply, so expect to restring more often than a European schedule suggests. Never leave a racket in a car boot. Humidity is hard on grips and on natural gut, which absorbs moisture and softens. And pressurised balls go dead faster in heat, opened or not.
