Description

The HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026 is designed for beginner to intermediate players, as well as advancing juniors, who want an ultra-lightweight racquet that makes generating spin and power effortless. It offers an ideal stepping stone into the Extreme MP family for players seeking easy manoeuvrability without sacrificing performance.

The 100 square inch head delivers an excellent balance of power, control, and forgiveness, while the open 16x19 string pattern promotes easy access to heavy spin. At just 260g unstrung, the Extreme MP UL is the lightest full-size performance model in the Extreme lineup, making it exceptionally easy to swing and accelerate. Its near even balance adds stability through contact while naturally helping players generate pace, and the 23/26/21mm beam enhances energy transfer for effortless power. Together, these specifications create a racquet that is fast, forgiving, and confidence-inspiring.

New to the Extreme 2026 series, Hy-Bor technology reinforces the shaft with aerospace-grade materials to maximize perceived stability while maintaining the racquet's ultra-lightweight feel. Auxetic 2.0 delivers real-time feedback for a more connected response, while the Spin Shaft improves lateral stability to support faster racquet head speed. The open Spin Pattern and Spin Grommets maximize string snap-back for increased spin and power, while Sound Grommets optimize vibration and produce the crisp response that defines the Extreme family. Together, these technologies create a lightweight frame that feels remarkably stable while making spin easy to generate.

The Extreme MP UL 2026 delivers the easiest swing in the Extreme MP family while retaining the spin-focused performance the series is known for. Its lightweight construction encourages faster swings, greater confidence, and comfortable progression, making it an excellent choice for players building their technique and looking to unlock more spin and power with less effort.

  • Hy-Bor: Play with confidence and power with new Hy-Bor technology. Made with state-of-the-art materials, Hy-Bor has compressional strength that maximizes perceived stability.
  • Auxetic 2.0: Feel every shot and get more confidence in your game with HEAD Auxetic 2.0 technology. It actively responds, giving real-time, super-accurate feedback.
  • Spin Shaft: The spin shaft provides optimized lateral stability, creating higher spin potential
  • Spin Pattern: The open 16/19 string pattern maximizes string snap-back for greater spin generation
  • Sound Grommets: Sound grommets provide enhanced power via greater string movement and optimize sound and vibrations
  • Spin Gromments: Spin grommets allow for greater main string movement in all directions for maximizing power and spin.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.

Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

Adult Racquets Sizing information

Grip Size Length
L0 (4") 4" (4 inches)
L1 (4 1/8") 4 and 1/8" (4.125 inches)
L2 (4 1/4") 4 and 2/8" (4.25 inches)
L3 (4 3/8") 4 and 3/8" (4.375 inches)
L4 (4 1/2") 4 and 4/8" (4.5 inches)
L5 (4 5/8") 4 and 5/8" (4.625 inches)

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
