Head MicroGel Extreme Pro Tennis Racquet Offering a perfect combination of weight and balance, Head’s MicroGel Extreme Pro prestrung tennis racquet is ideal for today’s faced-paced, aggressive game. It’s no secret that tennis has changed. New techniques have evolved, included expanded use of spin, faster and more aggressive swing styles, and more versatility in footwork and hitting stances. These “modern tennis” techniques can produce huge gains in performance, but also make huge demands on equipment. That’s where MicroGel technology steps in. With the lowest density of any material, Head’s MicroGel is a revolutionary new silicone-based material that’s teamed with stiff and strong carbon composite fibers to create a racquet with incredibly responsive qualities. On ball impact, MicroGel uniformly distributes the impact load around the frame to provide the most rock-solid feel and superior touch ever achieved.

MicroGel isn’t the only improved technology, however. Head’s Extreme Pro racquets also offer an increased head width, which allows the ball to slide further across the string bed to produce unmatched spin. The end result of the improvements is a racquet that’s extremely light, solid, and fast when you swing through the ball. The MicroGel Extreme Pro differs just a bit from the Extreme, with more weight granting even more power to hard hitters.

Customer Review: Great racket bad color
I love this racket. I’m a 4.0 male player. I switched to this racket from a Wilson Hyper Prostaff. Although this racket is heavier than the Wilson, it feels lighter because it is head light, where as the Wilson was head heavy. The color is not what I would have picked however. In fact the only reason I tried this racket is because I thought I was buying the Extreme Team version for my wife (much lighter). So look and read carefully, the markings are very similar.

Head Flexpoint Instinct Team Prestrung Tennis Racquet Designed for demanding players who want to call the shots, the Head Flexpoint Instinct provides great power and control in a mid-plus racquet. The Flexpoint Instinct Team is equipped with the company’s Flexpoint technology, which breaks the rules of traditional racquet design by offering two precisely engineered control holes at 3 and 9 o’clock on the racquet head. The holes help increase sectional flexibility by up to 50 percent, resulting in more control without sacrificing power. The technology works by forming a “cup” that surrounds the ball. By increasing the time that the ball spends in this cup during impact, you maximize your control in the same way you do when throwing a ball. That means you can paint the corners more accurately, or hit an angled slice to just the right spot. The racquet is ideal for aggressive players with longer, faster swing styles.
