Amazon.com Product Description
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. Specifications - Head size: 100 square inches
- Balance: 12, 2 inches
- Grip size: 1-5
- String pattern: 16/19
- Swing style: L3
- Length: 27 inches
- Weight: 11.1 ounces
Product Description
The Head MicroGel Extreme Pro is one of the most anticipated new racquets for 2007, and is used by Ivan Ljubicic. The Extreme Pro is Head's venture into offering a true 'tweener frame and is slightly heavier than the Extreme-100 sq. in. head, 27" length, 24mm/26mm beam, and 11.7 oz. strung weight.Another improvement Head has made with the new Extreme to traditional racquets is immediately visible: the geometrics of the racquet head size are changed making it wider and rounder. This increased width can allow the ball to slide across a wider stringbed, generating greater spin velocity and providing more power. The Head Extreme also offers aggressive, competitive players ultimate feel and unique touch through a new patented technology called MicroGel. When combined with carbon composite fibers in the racquet head, MicroGel deforms and compresses upon ball impact, uniformly absorbing and distributing the impact load around the entire frame, creating a rock-solid feel while offering extra stability against twisting.

Great racket bad color February 12, 2008
R. W. Boyles (Charlotte, NC)
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.
