Head Size

The head size of the racket influences how easy it is to play with it. A large head size (over 98) makes it easier to make contact with the shots but offers little maneuverability – which is great for beginners.

0

Racket Length

Most rackets range from 27 to 29 inches. Longer rackets offer more power and reach, but are more difficult to maneuver. 

80

Beam Width

These numbers reflect the beam width at the head, shoulder, and handle. A larger beam usually means more power, but less maneuverability.

48-57

Stiffness

Choosing the right strings and the right string tension is just as important as choosing the right racket. Some rackets play better with higher tensions, while others require a lower tension.

Overall, yes. This model adds some spin and control compared to the older version.
The combo of light weight and control makes it a great racket for players who have an all-court game at any level.
Both of these are good options, it comes down to your style. The pro is more controlling if you are a good ball striker. The MP is more forgiving to technical flaws. Generally, only more advanced players (4.0 minimum) should play with the Pro.
Definitely the Speed MP. So, even advanced players may prefer the MP for this reason.
