Need help. Head Graphene 360+ Speed MP vs Head Graphene 360 Extreme MP

[nikolai241]

Does anyone have a comparison between these two rackets?

Both have same swingweight, weight and same stiffness.

At the moment i play the Extreme... nice backhand and return because of the swinghweight, but sometimes it lacks in
maneuverability (forehand and service).

But i love the power of the Extreme and string it with soft poly völkl cyclone at 53 lbs.

Whats about the new Head Speed 360+ MP?? is ist better in maneuverability (same swingweight), less power?

Please write me some experiences!



Thanks a lot, Niko from germany

The new speed 360+ mp has a decent bump in swingweight over the last iteration. It's at around 327 in stock strung form. The higher swing weight is going to give it a little more plow through, so I would imagine the power is similar or higher than the last iteration. I have never hit the extreme, but it's going to be a more powerful racket and likely lacking a little bit of control compared to the speed.

Extreme is a little more explosive..but with same effort... speed can hit heavy ball..
Extreme helps one out a little more with lesser swings..

thanks a lot guys!
so if i can handle the extreme, i can play the new speed without any probs?

perhaps i will go in season wih 2 extreme and 2 new head speed?

i think the differences are very little?

thanks

I think you'll definitely notice a difference but you shouldn't have to much trouble going back and forth. Just demo both! Keep in mind the extreme has a 360+ version coming out relatively soon.

What did you end up doing? I current have both the 360+ Speed MP and Extreme MP in my bag.

I have been demoing the head G360+ speed mp and I must say it is an excellent overall racket. The one thing that was bothering me was the grip size. It is a 4 3/8 but it really feels like a 4 1/4, do head grip sizes run small? Maybe it is because I use a Yonex 4 3/8 which runs a little bigger. What grip size do you guys rock on the Speed MP?

If I remember correctly, Yonex grips do run bigger, particularly if you replaced the original grip which is very thin.
