I agree with you, I thought I knew what I was going to get with the new head racquets and each review I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. The G360+ has been a fantastic improvement. HEAD killing it in 2020! Great review Beckett 👊🏻

For this review I used Head Hawk Touch 17. In my personal Extreme MP, I have enjoyed RPM Rough 17 and currently use Volkl CYclone 17.

Thanks for the video! Do you have any thoughts on the Head Instinct Graphene 360/360+ MP? I'm starting to get back into tennis again and was looking around for something more budget friendly, at my local tennis shop I can get 2 of the 2020 model for about 230 USD or get the 2021 model for about 190 USD. I have some demos coming soon but would like some second opinions about these rackets, thanks!

I am not a huge fan of the Instinct because I find the line to feel a bit disconnected. That may not be something you'll notice as much coming back in to tennis though. Of course, when the price is that good, its hard to ask for much more racquet than you get with the Instinct. In Canada, we have some amazing deals on the Prince Beast line which would be my preferred budget choice.

Hey Becket, with the Extreme Tour, it looks like you added a total of 6 grams in the upper hoop. Did you counter balance with weight in the handle and if so, how many grams?

@CourtsideSportsLTD

3 жыл бұрын

In this case, I did not counter balance, but that was mostly because of laziness. I was mainly interested in how this racquet would perform with higher swingweight. Were I to switch to this racquet (which may happen at some point) I would add 5-10 grams or a leather grip.

Love the tour made the switch. Added a leather grip and a little lead at 3 9 and a smidge at 12. 4g rough in the crosses and playing around with shaped strings in the main. The tour can do it all in my opinion. Great platform racquet

I am jealous of you. I think the Extreme Tour is new racquet of 2020. Glad you found a killer setup!

I was playing with the Pure Strike 98 16x19 2nd Gen (the Project One7). Great racket but it finally gave me pain in the shoulder and elbow. Looking for a substitute I bought the Head Extreme Tour, it's clearly much more comfortable and has more feel, however it has way less power than the Babolat, so I haven't adapt to it yet. It's like the ball sticks to the racket. Also the launch angle is much lower too, so I found my balls landing short or hitting the net, I find this racket is not helping my game, it's like I have to do a lot more to win points and that¡s not what I want from a racket. I don't know if I should be more patient or change to something with a little more pop and forgiveness, maybe the Extreme MP...

@@jacobzak9597 Canada didn't get the Extreme Pro so I haven't tried the new one. I believe it got a weight increase from 310g to 315g. Since you are having a hard time converting swing speed into pace, I recommend using something with a higher swingweight. The old Extreme Pro had a pretty heavy swingweight close to 340 so definitely a good choice.

Its definitely noticeable. The thinner beam and tighter 16x19 make a difference by lowering the launch angle quite a bit. I only ever had problems with the MP if I was really pressing and maybe swinging too fast, but the Tour always had enough control.

@CourtsideSportsLTD

3 жыл бұрын

I haven't tried the Dunlop frames, but I can compare the EZ100 and Extreme MP. The Extreme definitely has more spin potential, especially for topspin. Which generation EZ100 are you using? I prefer the Extreme MP in feel to the 2018 EZone for its superior comfort and more soild feel. The 2020 EZ100 has better feel that the Extreme MP in my opinion due to a more solid and predictable response. The Extreme MP does offer more feedback than the 2020 EZ100 though.

I think the spin, power and control and all very close. In terms a feel, there are subtle differences. I get a little more feedback from impact in the MP, while the PA feels more solid. Both are more comfortable than they used to be, but you get a more muted feel that previous generations, with the PA feeling more muted.

How does the Tour compare to the Wilson Clash Pro (one you reviewed earlier)? Thanks.

The Tour has more control, less power, more spin, more responsive but stiffer feel and will work better if you play against pace. The Pro is a great all around weapon but if you play 4.5 or higher tennis, the flex may give you issues.

Courtside Sports any idea why all modern rackets feel this way!

Anything similar to the Textreme feel in the market (except Prince of course), or anything with a solid connection to the ball?

The Gravity MP has better feel, control and consistency off the string bed. Extreme MP has more power and spin. Stability is very similar. The Gravity feels a bit more solid and the Extreme has more off a "ping" sound and feel. The Gravity is also probably a bit more comfortable, but the Extreme isn't exactly uncomfortable in my experience.
