Balance & Flex Profile
The HEAD Extreme MP 2026 (product number 233316) is a powerful, spin-focused tennis racket for intermediate and advanced players who want to hit aggressively, shape the ball with heavy topspin and keep a solid feel at impact. Part of the HEAD Extreme 2026 tennis racquet collection, it combines a versatile 100 sq in head, a 300g unstrung weight and an open 16x19 string pattern for modern attacking tennis.
New Hy-Bor technology in the shaft increases perceived stability for a more solid impact, Auxetic 2.0 improves ball connection and feedback, and the Spin Shaft, Spin Grommets and open Spin Pattern work together to maximise spin and string movement. It adds power and heavy spin without giving up control and manoeuvrability – an aggressive all-round racket built to attack from the baseline. Strung, in Green.

Key Features
- Hy-Bor stability technology – a state-of-the-art, aerospace-grade material engineered in the USA, integrated into the shaft; high compressional strength maximises perceived stability for a solid feel against heavy shots and a strong combination of power and spin.
- Auxetic 2.0 – actively responds during impact for real-time, highly accurate feedback and a better sense of contact across the string bed.
- 100 sq in head (645cm²) – a balance of power and control with a more forgiving sweet spot than smaller tournament frames; versatile for groundstrokes, serves and all-court tennis.
- 300g unstrung – a midweight build that balances stability and manoeuvrability, with enough mass for powerful groundstrokes and easier acceleration than heavier tournament rackets.
- Open 16x19 Spin Pattern – maximises string snap-back for heavy topspin, aggressive ball shaping and extra power.
- Spin Shaft – optimised lateral stability for higher spin potential on fast, modern strokes.
- Spin Grommets – greater main-string movement in multiple directions to maximise power and spin.
- Sound Grommets – add string movement for power while optimising sound and vibration for the crisp Extreme response.
- 320mm head-light balance – 320mm / 1in head light, for manoeuvrability and quick preparation in demanding rallies.
- 23/26/21mm variable beam – wider sections add a powerful response for easy access to attacking power.
- Extreme 2026 design – vibrant neon-green styling with the recognisable HEAD Extreme look.
Performance Overview
The Extreme MP 2026 is designed for players who want to attack with powerful groundstrokes and heavy spin while keeping enough control and manoeuvrability for competitive tennis. At 300g unstrung it sits in a versatile midweight category: stable in aggressive baseline exchanges, yet easy to swing fast. HEAD positions it for intermediate and advanced players looking for power and spin.
Hy-Bor in the shaft increases perceived stability through the swing, giving a more solid feel when returning pace or driving through the ball, and HEAD describes it as offering a strong combination of power and spin through enhanced perceived stability. With Auxetic 2.0, the frame gives responsive feedback and a connected contact – whether you are driving a heavy forehand, shaping a topspin backhand or attacking with a serve.
Spin is central. The open 16x19 pattern maximises snap-back, the Spin Shaft adds lateral stability and the Spin Grommets free up the main strings – particularly effective for baseline players using high racket-head speed and modern vertical swing paths. HEAD states that its new Extreme generation achieved the highest spin numbers detected by its on-court radar system. The 100 sq in head adds versatility and forgiveness, making it more accessible than compact, heavier tournament frames while keeping a stable, responsive feel.
