Jannik Sinner's Racket & String Setup — What He Really Uses

Tennis Rackets Europe

Confidence: Reported. The details below are widely reported by tennis gear sources and visible clues, not officially confirmed by the player or brand. Treat specs and tensions as informed baselines, not exact facts.

Quick setup

Public racket HEAD Speed (endorsed)
Actual frame (reported) HEAD pro stock, TGT 301.4-type layup on a Speed mould
String (reported) HEAD Hawk Touch 1.30
Tension (reported) ~61 lb / ~27.5 kg — high

What's behind the paint

Like most top pros, Sinner's match frame is widely understood to be a HEAD pro stock build rather than the retail Speed you buy in stores — same family of geometry, but with a specific layup, weight, balance and swingweight dialled to his flat, early-timed game. The paint looks familiar; the frame underneath is more specific.

The real lesson for players

Sinner's setup is built for stability and precision under pace. The high tension lowers launch and tightens control — only sustainable with very high racket-head speed. For club players, the takeaway is the logic, not the number: a clean, flat striker wants a predictable, controlled stringbed, not a launchy one. Most players should start far lower than 61 lb.

Build a similar feel at TRE

If you want that controlled, low-power response, start with a firm control co-poly: GrappleSnake Tour Sniper (an ALU Power-style reference) or ReString Sync. Browse all control strings or shop HEAD rackets.
