Head MicroGel Extreme Pro

The Head MicroGel Extreme Pro is a premier tennis racquet recommended for aggressive professional players at the 4.5+ level wanting to make large cuts at the ball from various spots on the court. It is essentially a heavier and tighter version of the original Extreme ’09, giving it an extra dab of power and spin.

Like its predecessor, it also utilizes DuPont Teflon friction-reducing Polymer that enables the strings to slide through the grommets without any friction. In return, this dramatically reduces the mechanical energy lost during direct ball impact—thereby leading to lower resistance, more string movement, and greater power. And at its core is MicroGel technology, which includes silicone-based materials combined with carbon composite fibers in the racquet hand. This causes the strings to deform and compress when impacted, allowing the impact load to be uniformly distributed—thereby creating a ‘rock-solid’ feel. Professionals who use the Head MicroGel Extreme Pro include Mikhail Youzhny and Sania Mirza.
