The lightest path into the Extreme family.
The HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026 is the ultralight entry point of the Extreme MP progression — built for beginner to intermediate players and advancing juniors who want the explosive spin and easy power the Extreme series is famous for, without the weight demands of the standard lineup. At just 260g unstrung, it's the lightest full-size performance frame in the 2026 Extreme family, swinging fast and accelerating effortlessly so you can generate heavy topspin and real pace without needing a tour-level swing.
The 100 square inch head delivers a generous, forgiving sweet spot that keeps the ball in play on off-center hits as your technique develops, while the open 16x19 string pattern and Spin Grommets maximize string snap-back for maximum topspin on every groundstroke and serve. You feel the ball brushing off the strings — the steeper brush angle and increased revolutions per shot are immediate and addictive.
Despite the ultralight build, Hy-Bor technology — an aerospace-grade material originally developed for aerospace applications — reinforces the shaft and adds structural integrity at impact without adding weight. Off-center hits stay composed. The frame doesn't flutter. Auxetic 2.0 in the frame geometry delivers real-time feedback so you can feel exactly where ball meets string and make faster adjustments as your game improves. The Spin Shaft enhances lateral stability to support faster racquet head acceleration, and Sound Grommets produce the crisp, satisfying contact sound that defines the Extreme series.
A near-even balance adds natural stability through the swing, while the 23/26/21mm beam transfers energy efficiently for effortless power on groundstrokes and serves. Finished in the bold glossy neon green 2026 Extreme cosmetic with semi-transparent grommets — clean, fast-looking, and ready to play.
The ideal step-up racquet for juniors transitioning to an adult frame or recreational players looking for a performance upgrade that won't slow them down.
