Description

The HEAD Extreme MP XL 2026 is designed for advanced players and competitive baseliners who want the spin-friendly performance of the Extreme MP with added reach and power. Its extended-length construction is ideal for players looking to generate heavier shots and more penetrating serves without sacrificing control.

The 100 square inch head provides an ideal balance of power, control, and forgiveness, while the open 16x19 string pattern promotes easy access to heavy spin. At 300g unstrung with a 7 pts head light balance, the racquet remains manoeuvrable despite its extended 27.5-inch length. That additional half inch increases leverage on serves and groundstrokes, helping players generate more pace and depth while extending their reach around the court. Combined with the 23/26/21mm beam, the result is a racquet that rewards aggressive swings with explosive power and heavy spin.

New to the Extreme 2026 series, Hy-Bor technology reinforces the shaft with aerospace-grade materials to maximize perceived stability and deliver a more solid response through impact. Auxetic 2.0 provides real-time feedback for a more connected feel, while the Spin Shaft enhances lateral stability to support faster racquet head acceleration. The open Spin Pattern and Spin Grommets maximize string snap-back for increased spin and power, while Sound Grommets optimize vibration and deliver the crisp response that defines the Extreme series. Together, these technologies create a racquet that feels stable, responsive, and exceptionally effective for aggressive baseline play.

The Extreme MP XL 2026 adds another dimension to the Extreme family by combining effortless reach with explosive spin and power. For players who like to dictate rallies from the baseline and maximize the effectiveness of every swing, it delivers the added leverage and stability needed to hit a heavier, more penetrating ball with confidence.

  • 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 Grommets: 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.
