Head MxG 3

A big factor in the pursuit of creating great tennis racquets has always been finding the perfect balance of power and control, normally regarded as being two inversely related properties. Add more power and you will lose some control and vise versa. It was with finding the perfect balance of power and control in mind that lead Head to develop their latest technology: MXG.

The MXG 3 is one of 2 new racquets being introduced by Head with their new MXG technology (the other being the MXG 5). Along with this new technology the MXG 3 boasts a set of specifications that are sure to make this racquet appeal to a wide range of players. The head size feels much larger than it's 100 square inch measurement, thanks to the revolutionary MXG throat design that allows for longer and free moving main strings. This is where a lot of this racquet's power comes from along with it's large sweet spot. The injected molded magnesium bridge is also key to the control offered by this racquet. This unique bridge design prevents the hoop of the racquet from deforming at impact offering more control on every shot. Weighing in at 10.4 ounces (295 grams) unstrung, the MXG 3 is light enough to be very maneuverable while having enough mass to feel solid from all areas of the court. The 16x18 string pattern should provide plenty of spin potential. Although it has a slightly higher flex rating of 71, thanks to the Graphene Touch technology, this racquet feels far from stiff. The MXG is worth a demo for any intermediate to advanced player looking for a racquet that has a great blend of power and control.

• MXG:
  This is how Head explains their MXG technology: The ultimate combination of power and control in one racquet. Until now, tennis racquets have offered either power or control, but Head was determined to combine both. Thanks to research and development, you no longer have to choose. The Revolutionary technology "MXG" merges two materials, Graphene and Magnesium, for the ultimate balance of power and control... like no other. Using an engineering process that is widely used in the automotive industry, the injection molded magnesium bridge is precision formed and provides ultimate stability at a very low weight. The secret to the "Power under Control" lies in the innovative magnesium bridge that is specifically designed for longer, free-moving main strings. This provides a much larger sweet spot and more power. At the same time, the solid magnesium bridge keeps the hoop from deforming and offers total control on every shot. MXG gives you power under control like no other.
• Graphene Touch:
  Now, the ground-breaking technology gets the ultimate update: the re-engineered Graphene Touch combines the power of Graphene with improved shock absorption upon impact resulting in an incredible touch and great sound. From the beginning the original innovative Graphene technology delivered increased power and maneuverability through optimized weight distribution. Throughout the years this revolutionary technology helped a big number of HEAD players win important victories and tournaments. With the perfect power level taken care of, HEAD started to re-engineer the world’s strongest yet lightest material and added a unique shock-absorbing material to the frame construction. The result is less shock thanks to faster vibration reduction after ball impact and an unparalleled touch providing consumers with even more wow moments. All this without compromising on the power level of Graphene that players and consumers around the world have come to appreciate. In other words: power never felt so good.
