Our verdict
HEAD Sprint SF breaks the myth that lightweight court shoes cannot be durable. The introduction of the SuperFabric material on the vamp puts a brand new perspective on this Sprint offering. It makes the shoe tough-wearing yet extremely light. Another deal clincher is the efficient cooling system that allows air to circulate from the underside to the insole.

Competitive players who go for uncompromising defensive-offensive court stunts might find the HEAD Sprint SF as a valuable option for tennis match days. It is a solid option if you:
- Need a shoe that has an ultra-tough fabric that can resist abrasion during toe drags, serves, and rallies.
- Look for a shoe that has a specialized ventilation system that permits air to pass through the underside to the insole.
Hybrasion+ technology
The bottom layer is equipped with the Hybrasion+, a fortified rubber unit with long-lasting features. It’s designed with a herringbone tread pattern that permits the user to stop abruptly without slipping and the right amount of giving when coming out of a shot. It fits all court setups including carpet for indoor play.
A 360-degree moisture management technology called Cooling System is incorporated into the sole unit of this trainer that keeps it breathable. Such a feature allows air to pass through the outsole and into the shoe.

HEAD administered a stability trigger on the lateral side which averts rollovers of the foot and ankle. The toe and medial sides are reinforced with the updated 29 Mar 2023. This component buffers these areas that are prone to rubbing and grinding during serves, toe-drags, volleys, and rallies.
Low-to-the-court structure
The midsole design is not too cushy, but it grants the wearer the ability to enjoy a good ground connection with its low-to-the-court structure. It has a minimum drop from the heel to the forefoot, which makes it similar to a flat shoe.
Tri-NRG technology
This all-court trainer is outfitted with a visible triple-density unit with the Tri-NRG technology. Such a dynamic concept neutralizes impact in the heel area, provides rigid torque control for midfoot stability, and generates faster acceleration. The heel section featured a 180-degree Heelstab, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) brace for improved rear side fit.
SuperFabric
High-performance Sprint SF is built for speed and competition. HEAD engineered this trainer with a tough-wearing, flexible, and lightweight forefoot cover known as SuperFabric. It doubles up as a supportive layer and an external shield that delays any possible signs of wear and tear caused by recurrent pounding on different surfaces.
Bootie-structured
The outer membrane is structured into a seamless, one-piece sock support system with welded TPU films that are flexible for maneuverability and comfort. Such a bootie-structured upper comes with a heel stabilizer that prevents the rear foot from wobbling inside.
