Hello everyone,

Creating this thread for the new year to discuss the eventual release of the next generation of extremes. Where the line may go, comparisons to older generations, all that good stuff.

And of course, cosmetics!!!
 
As much as I love the Speed MP, I've become smitten with the Extreme MP this fall. Feels like a more comfortable PA which is right in my wheelhouse as I'm a fan of spin racquets but have some tennis elbow issues.

The extreme in my opinion is underrated in comfort. The auxetic and 360+ models are both comfortable and with my extreme tour I can honestly feel the hoop flex on some hits. The extreme MP 360+ however feels like a cannon with more power than a pure drive, glad they changed the string pattern.

2 much hoop flex in the Tour 4 me, I liked the magic boardiness of the 360+ version.

Boardiness needs a comeback!

Too much flex in the Aux for me. I even prefered the paint on the new one and I'm extremely vain, but it wasn't enough to tempt me.

A full Avocado ET with a stiff, uniform hoop would cause me to throw out my Whiteouts

Have you tried the pure strike or ezone? Those sound up your alley.
 
Is there anything we know yet? Auxetic 2.0 for sure, but same mold? Coloring scheme will follow the speed and boom series, but will it keep the 2022 colors?

Same mold, slight changes to layup and PJ. Some changes to Models (naming).
Auxetic 2.0 feels awesome.
Too early to say more…

What effect does the Auxetic 2.0 have?
Curious about the feel at impact, sound off the strings, pocketing & comfort.

I’m guessing the paint will resemble the other new releases but with different colours. Any hints on the colour palette?

Just like all the rest already released Auxetic 2.0 (Prestige, Speed, Boom), the comfort has improved, the feel is more muted and it feels softer.

I’m going to guess the slight change in layup is a slightly tighter string bed because it could use a bit more control to be close to perfect.
 
I'll be curious to see if Extreme Pro indeed makes a comeback and whether it will be a region-specific release or not.

I think Auxetic Extreme MP has the tighter drill pattern associated with Extreme Pro and Extreme MP-L the wider spaced pattern formerly attached to MP. if Extreme Pro makes a comeback it will probably be heavier and with a different layup

should be interesting!

Layup has zero to do with the string pattern. The layup update is Auxetic 1.0 (throat area) to 2.0 (added to handle)

Interesting guess ;)
 
Is there a good estimate on when the new models will come out? '24?
Also, does Head usually release all the models of their range at once?
 
Wow that's going to be bright. I hope the tighten up the string pattern a smidgen with the MP. I really liked that racquet but I found it a little hard to control at times.

Agreed - and the Tour needs to be slightly more stable w/out compromising it's maneuverability and flex.

Don't worry, the Extreme MP in its current form is great! Maybe you'll get a chance to pick up an extra outgoing stick for a discount ;-)

That’s my plan for the Tour. Don’t really need it since I’m happy with my PSVS but the ET was a top demo for me (only issue was stability, which I can fix with lead) so it’ll be nice to pick up a cheap one just to have for days when I want an easier racket than the Strike.

The new extreme is really nice. Very bright yellow/green mid section, initially was not sure about it but liked it after. Great hit with it (what used to be called “Tour”).

Noticeable improvement in performance compared to the Tour? Or just cosmetic + Aux 2.0?
