Head Extreme MP UL 2026 Tennis Racket Strung - Green

The HEAD Extreme MP UL 2026 (product number 233336) is an ultralight, spin-focused tennis racket for intermediate players, improving beginners and advancing juniors who want easy power, faster swings and strong spin potential without the weight of a heavier tournament frame.

At just 260g unstrung, it is one of the lightest full-size models in the 2026 HEAD Extreme tennis racquet range. Its 100 sq in head and open 16x19 string pattern create a versatile platform for developing more aggressive topspin and racket-head speed – HEAD officially lists the Extreme MP UL at 260g with a 645cm² / 100in² head and 16/19 Power & Spin pattern. New Hy-Bor technology reinforces the shaft for enhanced perceived stability and a crisp, solid feel, and Auxetic 2.0, Spin Shaft, Spin Grommets and Sound Grommets complete a technology package built around spin, responsive feedback and easy acceleration. Strung, in Green.

Key Features

• Ultralight 260g frame – very manoeuvrable and easy to accelerate on groundstrokes and serves, helping developing players generate racket-head speed without the demands of heavier frames.
• Hy-Bor stability technology – an aerospace-grade material integrated into the shaft, with high compressional strength to maximise perceived stability – a more solid feel in an ultralight frame and a strong combination of stability, power and spin.
• Auxetic 2.0 – actively responds during impact with real-time, highly accurate feedback, helping players sense contact as technique develops.
• 100 sq in head (645cm²) – a versatile platform balancing power and control, with useful forgiveness on off-centre contact.
• Open 16x19 Spin Pattern – maximises string snap-back for topspin-heavy forehands and backhands; HEAD positions the 16/19 pattern specifically around increased spin.
• Spin Shaft – optimised lateral stability for higher spin potential with fast, modern swings.
• Spin Grommets – greater main-string movement in multiple directions to maximise power and spin.
• Sound Grommets – add string movement for power while optimising sound and vibration for the crisp Extreme response.
• 340mm even balance – a versatile feel that combines easy power with manageable control and useful presence through the hitting zone.
• 23/26/21mm variable beam – supports easy power and stability through attacking groundstrokes.
• Suited to advancing juniors – a full-size 27-inch racket that is easier to swing than heavier adult performance rackets, with access to HEAD’s spin technologies.
• Yellow-to-green design – a glossy yellow-to-green finish with semi-transparent grommet details.

Performance Overview

The Extreme MP UL makes spin and easy power more accessible to players who prefer a lightweight frame. At 260g unstrung it is significantly easier to accelerate than heavier performance models, so you can prepare quickly and build the racket-head speed modern topspin tennis needs. HEAD’s official Extreme 2026 line-up classifies the MP UL as a lightweight, mid-size Power & Spin racquet.

Hy-Bor matters in an ultralight frame: integrated into the shaft, this aerospace-grade material increases perceived stability through the swing, and HEAD describes it as providing a solid, crisp impact feel and an effective combination of power and spin. Auxetic 2.0 adds responsive feedback that helps developing players gain confidence adjusting depth, placement and stroke shape – on topspin groundstrokes, serves or placing the ball into open court.

The open 16x19 Spin Pattern maximises snap-back – HEAD highlights it as a key part of the new Extreme family’s enhanced spin – while the Spin Grommets free up the main strings and the Spin Shaft adds lateral stability. HEAD’s official Extreme range describes Spin Grommets as allowing increased string movement for heavier, more powerful shots. The result is a fast, easy-to-swing racket that helps players generate pace, topspin and aggressive ball shape without the strength needed to repeatedly accelerate a heavier frame.
