Loading... Please wait...The long awaited Head Youtek IG Extreme MP has arrived and for you fans of the MicroGel Extreme series - this is a must try for the 2010/11 season.
Featuring Heads new and ground breaking D3o frame technology and Innegra the Youtek frames deliver unmatched levels of response and intelligence on ball impact.
D3o is a jelly like substance that behaves differently on different shots fluctuating to maximize performance. High-speed impact locks the d3o molecules together, to provide maximum power by stiffening the frame. Equally, on slower speed shots, d3o provides a softer touch for better feel, as the molecules absorb the impact.
Innegra™ is today the worlds lightest high performance fibre. Its extreme toughness together with HEADs advanced carbon composite technology leads to a novel ultra tough hybrid composite.
The new HEAD Innegra™ hybrid-composite structure is integrated into the racquet for shock absorption and improved stability. As a result vibrations are reduced by up to 17% on ball impact for unique control and precision. This protects the player from the forces of a ball impact.
On top of this: HEAD’s new hybrid-composite structure with the ultra tough Innegra™ fibre considerably extends the performance of your HEAD racquet, that means that racquets remains longer in the perfect condition without losing any of its great properties.
The name tells it all: The HEAD extreme racquet gives extreme spin and extreme power. Now with the new design it’s very aggressive. The Extreme’s perfect combination of weight and balance allows it to be very quick through the air, while still providing a rock-solid feel.

I personally think the Extreme MP is a great upgrade from the previous model. Head has made a few changes to this one. Slightly shorter, stiffer and with a new throat design, this frame excels in all areas. When hitting ground strokes, the frame provides a great response with lots of pop and depth on the ball. Easy access to spin off the ground and on serves. Power seems to flow effortlessly on serves. In fact, this has got to be one of the best serving racquets I’ve had the chance to hit with. Even though it’s not quite as head light in balance as the previous Extreme models, I still found it to be maneuverable enough at net. Volleys come off with some nice pop. The IG Extreme MP is perfect for big hitting baseliners and all court players.
