I totally agree, it's the racket of the year for me too. I also have 3 HEAD EXTREME 2022 MP | Avocado racquets with different string strengths. It opened up new opportunities for me to attack with more accuracy, sharpened my aggressive attacking game and improved my net play and overhead shot. The relatively light weight (300gr) and good vibration damping are very comfortable in the hand.
Agree 100%.. I switched to the extreme mp after years of quite heavy ( 340g+) racquets because I wanted something that would be light but have some stability...as you say , the swingweight is a solid 318g, so i feel like I haven't sacrificed anything with the lower static weight but I get all the benefit. I can continue to use a full bed of poly and it works really well.
That's great. Sometimes we play with super heavy rackets just to prove ourselves that we can do it. I think from the point of enjoyment and long term quality and healthy tennis experience it is better to play with a lighter racket with easy power and good manooovrlbity. Enjoy the racket, it' great.
Wow this is funny - I’ve been on a racquet journey these last couple of months and chose the extreme mp. Totally agree on what you have to say about it - easy power and topspin, maneuverable, great for kick serves, so much fun to play with.

Hi I have commented before about how I liked the Extreme MP much more than the Pure Aero. I still like it but I have changed my opinion totally of the Aero I have found it is a great control racquet ! which can also hit spin. The Aero is also much better on serve than the Extreme. I think the Aero has a smaller sweet spot and or if you miss it the feel is terrible but if you can persevere as I have done and get the feel of hitting pretty flat the Aero gives me loads of power and control with RPM blast which I don’t particularly like but came with the racquet. I need to hit flatter shots some of the time to hit with speed and penetration and not using too much energy hitting loads of top spin which this racquet is okay with but not as spin friendly as the Extreme. The plough through is much better on the Aero.
In one of your recent videos, you suggested that the shock absorber could be placed on the top of the racquet. Out of curiosity, I tried this today on my HEAD EXTREME 2022 MP racquet. My initial experience is very positive. For some reason my groundstrokes have become much more accurate I assumed they were stronger, but I didn't think they were significantly more accurate. I suggest you try it, it will be interesting!
Ok, that's great. It adds to the swingweight and overall stability. It can improve power and accuracy at the same time. I will try it with my Artengo racket.
Great review! You make me enjoy your videos a lot!! 👍🏻😊 Coming from the previous Extreme Tour (added weight to 320 grams), do you recommend me changing to the new MP? I would really like to lower the racket’s static weight and not have to customize it like I had to in order to make it a great stick. If yes, would I perform better with the previous version (360+) or with the Auxetic? The only reason to consider buying the 360+ is because I found a great deal in the internet, but like you say, the Auxetic version is not on the expensive side either. Thank you.
Thank you! If you are not really budget limited, buy the new Auxetic version. If you plan to buy more than 1-2 rackets and you want to save some money, go for the 360+, it's still a great racket - not that plush and forgiving feel, but it's super crisp, stable and clean. But it can be a painfull racket if you have tennis elbow. See ya
Thank you. Usually stiffer rackets have more defense power. For example Tecnifibre TF-X1 or from the latest rackets I really enjoyed the Wilson Ultra 100 v4, which is a superb defense racket with loads of stability and free power. Obviously Babolat Pure Drive and Pure Aero rackets have the similar defense qualities.
The Extreme MP is little bit more comfortable for sure. But it depends on how your body and arm reacts on stiffer frames. If you have no issues, you will be fine with both of these.
Great video as always! Very interested in Auxetic Extremes. How would you compare the MP Extreme to the MP Boom? I love my current 360+ Radical MP but for sure can use a bigger sweet spot and manooovrlbity 😂. I feel the MP Boom could lack the stability for my 1HBH but who knows without trying it out 🤷♂
Tennis Guy… love your videos and thoughtful insight. The one -hander is sort of unique stroke today. From your experience and observations, can you suggest some sticks ( stock) that excel with this stroke, especially flat drives, slice and touch. Thanks, Ciao, John
Thank you so much. Without a doubt Pro Staff series is the one to try for one handed backhand. Yonex rackets are also surprisingly well suited for one handed backhand, because the Isometric head shape suits best the players with a more horizontal swing path. So any Vcore Pro should be great for that reason. For one handed backhand, you want to have great feel, lower free power for better control and quick manooovrlbity. So aim for the rackets with 98 inch2 head size. Head Radical should also be a good option. Always look for rackets that have control, feel and manooovrlbity in common. Thinner frame, lower stiffness is also better for one handed backhand. And higher swingweight with hand heavy balance is also good to have.
@@CzechTennisGuy : Ciao… Tennis Guy, which one: Head auxetic Speed Pro or Blade V8 18x20? Keep up the good work… I will end my racket journey with the new Blade, just can’t decide on the 16x19 or 18x20?
@@BorisBecker1872 Definitely. It's a great racket for one handed backhand. Very stable, with great feel/power/control ratio. And it has great feel, which is absolutely necessary for one handed backhand.
Both are great so it's really hard to pick the best one. More free power comes from the Extreme Tour, it also feels more alive, but the Radical MP has slightly better touch and control. So it depends on what do you want. Both are great for one handed backhand. The Radical MP is better for one hand than the Radical PRO.
How would you compare these two racquets with the Yonex Vcore Pro 100, which you considered the racquet of the year 2021. Power, control, maneuverability, serve, volley, feel, etc.? Did you like the Yonex better?
It's difficult to say. Both rackets are great but probably for a different type of player. Vcore Pro 100 is definitely for a hard hitter, very aggressive player who has strong shots. It's more stable, it's more powerful in terms of plowthrough, more control oriented, with muted feel. Extreme MP is more playful, with easy power, easy manooovrlbity and very fast swing, with crisper feel. It depends on how you play - if you have big strong body, go for the Vcore Pro. If you are more nimble, subtle guy with fast swing, go for the Extreme.
@@CzechTennisGuy Thanks. I've been playing Head Extreme Tours +360 for a year now, and before that I played Head Premier Tours for many years, which I thought was a little crazy. I'd like to buy a third racquet and I'm wondering whether to buy a completely different racquet for fun or stay with the Extreme Tour version. There are so many great racquets on the market to test. The Extreme Tours were love from the first hit. The Babolat Aero VS was also a firecracker with a little more power. Well. The new Extreme and Yonex need to be tested.
@@barteksz.3523 Head Premier Tour 600 is crazy for sure from todays perspective 🙂. But if you liked it, why not to try some of the new Head Prestige Auxetic. It depends on what do you want to achieve with the racket.
great video man! what do you think about the previous extreme mp, the 360+? do you think there s a lot of difference? I can get one very cheap...was wondering that they should be very similar...
Just buy the new version, you won't regret the extra money. Because if you buy the old version, you will be tempted to buy the new one later in some discount so you don't save any money.
@@CzechTennisGuy finally bought the 360+ mp...I love it man!!! I tried them both... couldn't notice difference...rather than more spin and power in the 360...I didnt feeel luck of control at all...its not a blade or a prestige, but its so easy to use that I love it. I was using a youtek graphene speed mp...
excellent video!!! I am going to change my pure aero 2019 for one of these two... can you help me choose please? babolat pure aero 2023 or head extreme mp 2022? thanks!!!
Thank you. I would go for the Extreme MP 2022. It's more manooovrlbl, it has great feel and nice blend of power and spin. I feel it has better feedback and it's faster during the swing. Superb stability on volleys and really easy energy transfer on serve. I was dissapointed by the Pure Aero 2023 so this is an easy choice for me.
I don't recommend adding any weight to the stock rackets. They feel well balanced. The string tension is a great question. I forgot to mention in the review that Head recommended string tension for the MP version is between 24 - 28 kg. That is not common in todays rackets. Usually nowadays they recommend tension between 22-26 kg. But the new Auxetic MP is so powerfull, that they needed to beef up the tension to maintain the control.
Hello, i find the Extreme Tour to be underpowered.It has a lot of spin to offer but my strokes are weaker, i feel it light when hitting.So, lowering string tension would be enough?i am currently at 22/21 kg, so not that high....3gr lead tape at 09.00 and 15.00 could help?
hi, how would you compare the head extreme tour with the yonex ezone 98 2022? what is the main difference between them? and which one would you recommend for an advanced player on clay?
Hi, both are great for clay baseliners. Ezone is more stable with muted feel. Extreme Tour has crisper feel, little bit better variety to the strokes and very playful racket, probably more control oriented. So if you want a power house with little bit more muted feel and better stability, go for the Ezone. If you want to have just little bit more fun on the court with some spectacular touch to the ball and spin friendly precision, go for the Extreme Tour. Personally I would go for the Extreme racket just for the extra fun factor and crisper feel.
Bought the Tour and played it today, with Kirschbaum Helix 1.2 @25kg. The racket feels great, but the power is over the top, at least with this string setup. Ball launches like a skyrocket, and will hit the fence if you don’t put enough spin on the ball. I guess I will have put a different string on. Any recommendation?
I'm not familiar with the Kirschbaum Helix, but from what I've heard it's a softer co-poly with a spiral shape to enhance the spin a control. Maybe you should try a firmer poly like Tecnifibre Razor Code, Tecnifibre Ice Code or Head Lynx Tour at a higher tension. What's interesting and I forgot to mention it in the review is that Head recommended string tension for the MP version is between 24 - 28 kg. That is not common in todays rackets. Usually nowadays they recommend tension between 22-26 kg. But the new Auxetic MP is so powerfull, that they needed to beef up the tension to maintain the control. So first try to go up to 28 kg with the tension and after that try another string I recommended to you.
@@CzechTennisGuy thank you. I will do that. However, I don’t dare to go for 28kg. I will maybe go up to 1.25 with 26kg first. Then try a stiffer string. I am also using the speed mp 2022, but the extreme tour has definitely more power. It is stunning how two rackets with the same material, beam and string pattern differ so much. it’s like the rackets are teaching me: speed mp wants me to hit flat, extreme tour forces me to hit topspin.
Cześć. Bardzo lubię Twoje recenzje. Zastanawiam się nad Extreme MP a Ezone 100. Lubię grać mocno,atak z linii bazowej a także do siatki. Ktora Twoim zdaniem jest lepsza? Pozdrawiam z Polski!
Witam Polskę! Osobiście jestem za Extreme MP. Może nie jest tak mocny i stabilny jak Ezone 100, ale oferuje lepszą kombinację wirowania, kontroli i wyczucia. Jest świetna w grach z woleja. Daje mi to bardziej uniwersalne wrażenie, dla bardziej zróżnicowanej gry na pełnym boisku z lepszym temem i połączeniem z piłką.
@@CzechTennisGuy wziąłem na testy Extreme MP i Ezone 100. Wygrała Extreme. Super rakieta. Grales już Scarlet? Jeśli tak to jak ją porównasz do Extreme MP?
Kind of beginner, switching from Wilson Blade Feel 100 to Head Extreme MP (same Luxilon Element 125 string), I find it almost impossible to play decently. There is simply no stability. Am I doing something wrong?
The stability of the shots comes not only from the racket, but also from your technique and overall tennis skill. Maybe you are doing something wrong in that sense. The Extreme MP is stable enough to provide you with huge amount of power. Maybe the racket feels too powerful for you in terms of the free power and spin potential. Coming from the Blade series, it can be a completely new world for you. Blades are generally more feel oriented rackets for people with medium swing. Extreme rackets are for people with fast swing and fast wrist. So I would suggest you try another racket or a lighter version of Extreme racket like the Extreme Team or Extreme MP L.
It has surprisingly more control and precision. The TF-X1 300 is just a monster power racket with huge spin and great energy return. It's great for counterpunchers who know how to properly block the opponenets heavy shots and bring the energy back. I truly had some of the best returns ever with the lighter 285 version, which is in my opinion a better option because of the super fast manooovrlbity and fast swing, yet with a huge power effect. So in terms of power, TF-X1 rackets are one of the most, maybe even the most powerful rackets in their weight category. But control is not really there. You need to have a very sensitive hand to play precisely with these rackets.
@@CzechTennisGuy thanks for reply Im playing with head instinct and I want to buy another 100 head maybe just buy extreme but that 285gm teanifibre sounds like fun racket, I sold my 98 Tecnifibre as not enough power against bigger hitters for my abilities
Instinct has more power, it's firmer, but less control and feel. I don't like Instinct rackets, they don't really offer anything special except the free power. Tha is not enough for todays market so that's why Head stopped making Instinct rackets with new technologies.
@@CzechTennisGuy Thanks for that my tennis coach plays with instinct and gets new paint job every year, I did try extreme the last model but felt bit to head heavy so I'll have to try this new one as this specs are not as head heavy
@@CzechTennisGuy they made.the new 110 is pretty good imo... But I played ATP and would like ur opinion... Which Raquet is better this head avocados or the Wilson clash v2 100? Thanks
@@ThetennisDr They are not better, just different. Both of these rackets are great but for a different player. You need to do the research for your own to really decide which racket will suit you better.
@@Hlaku Yes, I'm doing that and I still think it's probably the best way how to explain things, organize thoughts and give the most thorough opinion to my viewers.
Hey, that's why I decided to put a final words part to the video, which is about 10 minutes long, so everyone can choose what is his preference. I also agree that commenting after the play when the thoughts settle down and you can think about it little bit more, is a must have option in every video. Sometimes I play with the racket few days and I record the video with a several days pause just to help my head to process the thoughts a little bit and really think about what was good and what was dissapointing. Yeah, great to hear that from you.

@@CzechTennisGuy dziękuję! Przetestuję obie ramy. Dorzucę jeszcze Vcore 100 Scarlet i Vcore Pro 100 💪🎾 Pozdrawiam i zdrowia życzę.
@@CzechTennisGuy wziąłem na testy Extreme MP i Ezone 100. Wygrała Extreme. Super rakieta. Grales już Scarlet? Jeśli tak to jak ją porównasz do Extreme MP?
@@kaemdt1012 Cieszę się. W Scarlet jeszcze nie grałem i nie planuję.
Is that a luxilon dampener?
No no, the black one with the Head symbol is...Head dampener. And the round red one with hole inside is Pro's Pro.
Kind of beginner, switching from Wilson Blade Feel 100 to Head Extreme MP (same Luxilon Element 125 string), I find it almost impossible to play decently. There is simply no stability. Am I doing something wrong?
The stability of the shots comes not only from the racket, but also from your technique and overall tennis skill. Maybe you are doing something wrong in that sense. The Extreme MP is stable enough to provide you with huge amount of power. Maybe the racket feels too powerful for you in terms of the free power and spin potential. Coming from the Blade series, it can be a completely new world for you. Blades are generally more feel oriented rackets for people with medium swing. Extreme rackets are for people with fast swing and fast wrist. So I would suggest you try another racket or a lighter version of Extreme racket like the Extreme Team or Extreme MP L.
Jaki założyłeś naciąg do testów i na ile kg?
Tecnifibre Black Code 1.28 mm at 25/24 kg for MP and 24/23 kg for the Tour version.
What's this racket compare to teanifibre TF-X1 300
It has surprisingly more control and precision. The TF-X1 300 is just a monster power racket with huge spin and great energy return. It's great for counterpunchers who know how to properly block the opponenets heavy shots and bring the energy back. I truly had some of the best returns ever with the lighter 285 version, which is in my opinion a better option because of the super fast manooovrlbity and fast swing, yet with a huge power effect. So in terms of power, TF-X1 rackets are one of the most, maybe even the most powerful rackets in their weight category. But control is not really there. You need to have a very sensitive hand to play precisely with these rackets.
@@CzechTennisGuy thanks for reply Im playing with head instinct and I want to buy another 100 head maybe just buy extreme but that 285gm teanifibre sounds like fun racket, I sold my 98 Tecnifibre as not enough power against bigger hitters for my abilities
What's this like compared to instinct which I currently have no een using its 4 years old
Instinct has more power, it's firmer, but less control and feel. I don't like Instinct rackets, they don't really offer anything special except the free power. Tha is not enough for todays market so that's why Head stopped making Instinct rackets with new technologies.
@@CzechTennisGuy Thanks for that my tennis coach plays with instinct and gets new paint job every year, I did try extreme the last model but felt bit to head heavy so I'll have to try this new one as this specs are not as head heavy
@@CzechTennisGuy they made.the new 110 is pretty good imo...
But I played ATP and would like ur opinion... Which Raquet is better this head avocados or the Wilson clash v2 100? Thanks
@@ThetennisDr They are not better, just different. Both of these rackets are great but for a different player. You need to do the research for your own to really decide which racket will suit you better.
Do more live reviews
I will try for sure.
You can voice over your thoughts later in video editing
@@Hlaku Yes, I'm doing that and I still think it's probably the best way how to explain things, organize thoughts and give the most thorough opinion to my viewers.
Hey Tennis Guy, I think it would be great if you record your though after the session than breathing heavily and talking
It’s better to hear what he’s saying at the moment he’s thinking rather than later and forgetting a lot of what he was feeling.
@@Mewborne89 yes I agree it is nice in the moment
Hey, that's why I decided to put a final words part to the video, which is about 10 minutes long, so everyone can choose what is his preference. I also agree that commenting after the play when the thoughts settle down and you can think about it little bit more, is a must have option in every video. Sometimes I play with the racket few days and I record the video with a several days pause just to help my head to process the thoughts a little bit and really think about what was good and what was dissapointing. Yeah, great to hear that from you.
