Best Head-palleted racquet to extend?

Hey everyone -

I'd like to experiment with an extended frame, and I plan to use Head pallets for the extension. Does anyone have recommendations about which frame I should experiment on? Using Head pallets limits me to Head and Tecnifibre frames, I think. I'm thinking I want something relatively low weight and low SW (since extending the racquet will significantly increase SW). Options I've been looking at are the IG Radical MP, IG Speed 300, and 315 Ltd. Has anyone tried extending any of those racquets and had either particularly good or bad experiences? Or are there other frames I should be looking at? (I have some YT Prestige MPs, but I've tried extending them before, and they're just too much for me when extended.)

For reference: My last two frames have been the Blade 98 and the IG Prestige Pro, so I'm looking for something relatively thin-beamed (and something relatively soft).

IG Radical S, Youtek Mojo, Microgel Extreme Team... Try the racquet finder. I suggest a max sw of 300s, if you are going 28", as it should reach the 340s. Maybe 310. The Radical Flexpoint MP (330 SW) felt sluggish for me at 28". Same with the PT280 (327SW). If you try with a heftier frame, make sure you leave it very HL (at least 10pts HL) to retain some maneuverability.
