HEAD Extreme MP XL 2026

An extended-length Extreme for advanced and tournament players who want maximum power and spin — 27.5 in of frame at 300 g.

The extra half inch is the whole argument: a longer frame means a longer lever, which means more racket-head speed at the tip for the same swing, and more reach on the stretch and on serve. HEAD offsets the length with a very head-light 320 mm balance so the racket doesn't feel unwieldy. Combined with the 23/26/21 mm Extreme beam and an open 16×19 pattern, the result is a genuinely heavy ball.
