Head extreme tour 2022 alternatives

[Bielejzi]

Hello,
Started playing tennis like 4-5 years ago and bought my first new racket two years ago, head extreme tour.

Didn't do much of a testing at the time since I just needed a new racket asap and something different from yonex ezone bacause it wasn't for me...not manuverable enough...extreme tour felt good at first touch, so I took it.

I am athletic guy and made very good progression in last two years and now I have more knowledge what I actually need and what are my preferences. I feel that extreme tour is quite unstable, so i added lead at 3 and 9, it is better with the lead. But I still find it unstable at the net and when hitting out of sweet spot when playing bit hiters...

Generally i like the racket, but what do you think, is it worth testing some similar rackets but a little more stable or whatever? What would be alternatives to try? Or would it be just losing of time haha..?

I play with one handed backhand, stringing around 22-23kg, and playing quite agressive style i guess...

Thanks

The ezone 98 feels pretty similar, but better feel and stability in my opinion. It’s a more maneuverable 98 305 racquet like the extreme tour, but has a little more power and much better stability. I love the 98 and the 100.

Hmmm...maybe I should try 98 yes, because i played with ezone 100 and was not manuvarable at all and that's why i didn't like it on my backhand...

The 100 is less maneuverable than the 98 for sure, I’d give the 98 a try specifically.

Try the Head Boom Pro. It's somewhat similar to what you're used to but slightly heavier and even more head light (great for ohbh). Definitely better for someone playing an aggressive style like you.

Ezone 98 is great but I wouldn't say it's more stable than your current racquet.
