HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026: power and spin with minimal weight

The HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026 is a lightweight tennis racket designed for beginners and intermediate players who want power and spin without using a heavy frame . Weighing just 260 grams, it offers easy handling and allows you to quickly set up each shot.

The 100-inch head size provides good forgiveness, while the open 16x19 string pattern and Spin Grommets promote string movement and topspin production. Hy-Bor technology increases perceived stability during the swing, making impact more solid.

Performance on the pitch

The HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026 is the lightest MP model in the Extreme range. Its 260 grams facilitate the racket's acceleration and reduce the physical effort required during training and matches.

The 340mm balance places more weight toward the head of the frame. This configuration compensates for the reduced weight and helps generate power, stability, and depth on groundstrokes.

The 645 cm² head offers a versatile sweet spot, while the variable 23/26/21 mm beam supports the racquet's spin. The result is a frame that's easy to use and can adapt to the player's technical development.

• Lightness: the weight of 260 grams makes the racket easy to handle.

• Spin: 16x19 pattern and Spin Grommets favor strong spin.
• Forgiveness: The 100-inch head makes it easier to take off-center shots.
• Stability: Hy-Bor technology makes the impact more solid.

Technologies and materials

Hy-Bor

The frame features Hy-Bor , an aerospace-grade material designed in the USA. This technology increases perceived stability throughout the swing and provides a more solid feel at impact, without making the racket excessively heavy.

Spin Grommets

Spin Grommets allow the main strings to move more freely in different directions. This increased freedom of movement promotes string deflection and snapback, helping the player generate power and topspin.

Sound Grommets

Sound Grommets increase string movement and simultaneously optimize sound and vibration. The result is a crisper response and improved impact perception.

Open string pattern 16x19

The 16x19 string pattern facilitates the production of power and spin. The wider spacing between the strings allows for greater deflection, making it easier to impart topspin to the ball.

Variable profile

The 23/26/21mm beam contributes to the frame's power and stability. The wider cross-section supports spin, a useful feature for those who aren't yet able to generate significant ball speed on their own.
