Tennis racket HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026

Ultra-light Extreme racquet for players who want a lighter swing, more spin, and easy power

HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026 is the ultra-light version from the HEAD Extreme line, designed for players who want to add more spin and power to their game but need a lighter and more maneuverable racquet.

It is the lightest model in the Extreme MP line, making it an excellent choice for beginners, intermediate players, and advanced juniors transitioning from junior racquets to a full-size frame. The racquet enables a quicker preparation for the shot, faster swing, and less strain during longer practice sessions or matches.

The open string pattern 16 × 19 is designed for maximum spin potential. The strings move more and return to their original position faster upon contact with the ball, helping to generate more rotation on forehands, backhands, and serves. In combination with the Spin Grommets technology, the racquet enables a higher arc in rotation and easier ball control.

Despite its low weight, the racquet maintains a good sense of stability. The Hy-Bor reinforcement in the throat improves the rigidity of the frame on impact and helps the racquet remain stable even with slightly off-center hits. This is especially important for lighter racquets, where players often look for more stability without extra weight.

The Auxetic 2.0 technology improves the connection with the ball and provides clearer feedback on contact. The player can more easily feel the shot, adjust the direction, and control the ball length.

With a mass of 260 g, HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026 is very easy to use. A head-heavy balance at 340 mm helps add some extra power and stability to the racquet head, which is welcome for players still developing their own stroke power.

The head size 645 cm² or 100 in² provides a good balance between tolerance, power, and control. The frame profile 23/26/21 mm further supports power and stability, helping the player generate more pace with less effort.

HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026 is an excellent choice for players who want a light, friendly, spin-oriented racquet with which they can confidently develop their attacking game.
