Our opinion after testing the Head Delta Pro:
This rack from Head is their new top rack that is mainly aimed at the more experienced player who has his main characteristics in the offensive game. The Head Delta Pro 2022 has a diamond shape and a top-heavy balance which then gives you very good offensive characteristics but it also means that the racket becomes slightly more difficult to play and then does not adapt to the beginner. The racquet is equipped with the new Auxetic system which provides a much more gentle feel and the grooved texture on the face provides extra grip and spin on the ball.
