The Extreme Team with the "sensational feel" of Auxetic construction brings optimized access to spin and power in a light frame for very easy handling suitable for adults looking for a lightweight manageable racquet with an average head size or younger players moving into an adult frame.
The headsize at 100 square inches provides a blend of control and power with a forgiving feel. Coupled with the headsize, the open string pattern has a lively feel with easier access to spin. The weight being lighter at 9.7 ounces (unstrung) favours enhanced maneuverability granting easier general movement for comfortable net-play, serves and quick returns. Its head-light balance (unstrung) increases your ability to move the frame quickly, an important factor in generating power as well as being conducive to fast movements at the net for game-changing volleys or being able to swing fast for greater spin generation. The beam thickness enhances and optimizes the stability of the frame for greater energy transfer and power across the string-bed, something more common in the 100 square inch racquets of the modern era being developed for spin and power.
On the technology side, HEAD brings Auxetic technology to the Extreme line. Head's Auxetic is an adaptive technology that optimizes ball feedback depending on where the ball is hit on the stringbed. The Graphene technology is being used to strengthen the frame for enhanced stability and power. The other technologies listed in the "technology" section further optimize what makes the Extreme series the ideal spin-oriented frame.
Combined with the core technologies, updates and specs, this racquet is a dangerous weapon for players who want to maximize their spin and power.
