Hi Beckett! Once again, thanks for the review. I wanted to ask your opinion on how this racquet compares to the pure strike 16x19? I recently tried the babolat and it felt “hollow”, specially in the hoop. I didn’t feel connected to the ball at all. I know that adding lead may help with that, but before I do any customization, I wanted to know if the Extreme felt similar to the Babolat.

@CourtsideSportsLTD

The Extreme has a more raw feel. There is most feedback through the string bed and it is less muted. It has a bit of a hollow feel, but it feel a lot more solid the Extreme MP

If they make the next radical like this, with more flex and higher swingweight, I would be looking at changing back to head.

PS great reviews by the way.

The Extreme Tour has a surprisingly closed 16x19 string pattern which really helps the predictability of the string bed. After using it for about 2 months, I think the Extreme Tour is a pretty special racquet. It takes a lot for 98's to standout, as the market is so saturated.

i recommend adding 1.5 grams of weight at 10 and 2 each. Weight near the tip will help with power and weight towards the 3 and 9 will help with stability. From there, experiment with counter balancing and adding a few grams of weight in the handle. Buying weight is relatively inexpensive so I recommend experimenting as much as possible.

The Extreme Tour swings very fast and has one of the most predictable strings beds in any 16x19 racquet. It is my favorite racquet on the market for this reason. If you bought the Clash for comfort, the Extreme Tour is not a great choice. While not particularly uncomfortable, it does have a crisp, stiffer response. If comfort isn't an issue for you, I cannot recommend the Extreme Tour enough. I love this racquet and I commited to the switch last month.

Control can be moderate because I use spin to control my shots, and, as long as the string bed is a medium tight 16x19 or tighter, I know I'll have the stringbed predictability I need.
