Description

The Instinct MP has been updated with Auxetic technology for improved overall performance suitable for a wide range of players due to its easy access to power and overall comfort. The Instinct MP should appeal to strong beginners up to advanced players.

The 100-square-inch head size offers a balanced mix of power and control. Its specially engineered cross-section enhances stability and expands the sweet spot, making it easier to generate power. Weighing in at 10.6 ounces, it’s slightly heavier than average, providing added stability on high-impact returns, a solid punch at the net, and improved forgiveness on off-centre shots. The head-light balance ensures that despite the extra weight, manoeuvrability remains intact, allowing for quick, spin-friendly swings and agile net play for reliable volleys.

For 2025, Head brings their Auxetic technology to the Instinct series. When you hit the ball, the material construction reacts instantly, adjusting its internal structure to optimize impact feel and provide precise feedback. Auxetic enhances feel with every shot, providing players with a more connected and satisfying experience on the court.

The Instinct MP delivers effortless performance, comfort with now enhanced response in a fresh design that’s sure to attract a wide range of players.

  • Auxetic:

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.

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.
