Head Extreme MP XL Racquet
Overview
Introducing the Head Extreme MP XL. Compared to the standard length version, this extended 27.5" racquet offers extra power and spin, especially in the hands of aggressive players with high stroke speeds. It's also surprisingly fast for an extended length racquet, making it easier to explode through contact on serves, whip up heavy spin from the baseline, or react quickly in the front court. Thanks to a sub 64 RA stiffness, the Extreme MP XL offers a softer, more arm-friendly feel than many of its competitors. Technologies include Head's latest material technology, Hy-Bor, which puts compression-resistant boron fibers in the shaft to create a more stable and connected feel through impact. Additional technologies include the return of Auxetic 2 in the yoke and handle to further optimize the feel and response. As with the previous generation, this model features Graphene Inside, reinforcing the frame in key areas for added power and stability. This racquet also includes Spin Grommets, which enable greater string movement for increased snapback, and a Spin Shaft, which increases torsional stability to better complement topspin mechanics. Players looking to supercharge their groundies and serves should add this to their demo list. The speedy feel is a nice bonus.
