HEAD Extreme MP XL 2026 Tennis Racquet

The HEAD Extreme MP XL 2026 takes the explosive spin and power of the Extreme MP and adds extra length for even greater reach, leverage and ball speed. At 27.5 inches, this extended-length performance racquet is designed for advanced and tournament players who want to dictate points with heavy spin and aggressive baseline power.

Weighing 300g unstrung with a versatile 100 sq. in. head, the Extreme MP XL maintains the familiar balance and playability of the standard MP while providing additional leverage on groundstrokes and serves. The extra half-inch helps generate greater racquet-head speed and natural power, while also giving players additional reach when stretched wide or attacking at net.

New Hy-Bor technology reinforces the shaft with an advanced aerospace-grade material designed to increase perceived stability through impact. The result is a more solid and controlled response when accelerating aggressively through the ball.

Auxetic 2.0 technology enhances the connection between player and racquet, providing precise feedback and a responsive feel at contact.

The open 16x19 Spin Pattern encourages maximum string snap-back for heavy topspin, while Spin Grommets allow greater main-string movement to further enhance both spin and power. HEAD's Spin Shaft improves lateral stability for additional spin potential, while Sound Grommets optimise string movement, vibration and acoustics for a crisp, satisfying response.

Extended. Explosive. Built for heavy spin.
