Head Extreme MP L 2026 (280g) racket

The Head Extreme MP L 2026, the lighter MP for moderate swings

The Head Extreme MP L 2026 keeps the 645 cm² head and the beam of the MP in a frame lightened to 280 g unstrung. Twenty grams less means higher racquet head speed for less effort, without changing the spin purpose of the range.

Who is this racquet for?

It targets club players, regular recreational players and juniors finishing their progression, who want easy power and spin without carrying a 300 g frame. It is also the right call for slower swing speeds : the 32.5 cm balance (6 points head light) keeps the racquet quick through the air, and the stiffness measured at 64 RA stays in a range that is kind to the arm.

The technologies explained

• Hy-Bor : the aerospace reinforcement in the shaft makes up for the missing mass, so the frame stays stable at impact despite its light weight.
• Auxetic 2.0 : real-time feedback, valuable on a light frame where feel is often the weak point.
• Spin Grommets : the strings move and snap back freely, for spin you reach without forcing.
• Spin Shaft : lateral stability in the shaft supports faster racquet head acceleration.

The Extreme Tennis team's view

The MP L is not a budget version, it is an MP recalibrated for players who do not have the swing or the fitness to carry 300 g for two hours. The trade-off is honest: you lose some penetration against heavy incoming balls, you gain ease in building your own pace. For anyone who finishes matches with a heavy arm, it is often the smartest choice in the range.
