Head Extreme MP (2026)
The Head Extreme MP (2026) is a 100 in² tennis racket weighing 300 g (10.6 oz) unstrung, with a 16x19 string pattern. It is built for topspin: the frame helps you brush up the ball, which drops earlier in the court. That open pattern lets the strings bite into the ball more.
It is aimed at intermediate to advanced players (roughly UTR 6–8).

What testers report
The verdict from playtests is clear: Hy-Bor in the shaft makes the strike noticeably more solid than the 2024, and the frame holds its line better against incoming pace. The 2022 and 2024 versions had drifted toward a muted feel that divided longtime Extreme players; the 2026 corrects course with a crisp, energetic response. Same spin engine — open pattern and spin grommets — better executed: the consensus makes it the pick of the range, a 100 that plays bigger than its head size.
What changed since the 2024
- Slightly more control and precision.
The difference is marginal. The 2024 remains well worth it if you find it discounted.
