Sneak peek at new Head Extreme Racquets for 2024, pro string trends & more | Talk Tennis Podcast

[@infinitlycool]

The previous Extreme had been dubbed as The Avocado. I dub this version as The Lemonade.

RIP to the 315 gram Extreme Pro. An epic frame still used by some pros. IG version was amazing.

[@stylistxxx]

I purchased 5 of those solid frame

The podcast on spotify you uploaded yesterday does not have the same audio as this one!

[@tenniswarehouse]

Thanks for the head's up! Working on getting that audio fixed, that was from LAST year at the BNP string room...woops!

[@k1ytennis304]

@@tenniswarehouse Yeah I thought so haha, I was thinking.. why are they disussing the same things as last year? lol

[@matteo4413]

Head Velocity Power will sell so well. Glad to see Head making more environmentally focused products too!

[@benjabrouss2523]

Now in these new version Auxetic 2 limon, the Space between thé strings is same in MP L and MP ? Because in the older version Avocado, is was not, MP L more Space strings than MP. How is Space between strings in the version MP L ?

[@tenniswarehouse]

Just checked the two racquets side by side, and it does appear that the string spacing is slightly more open with the MP L, and slightly more dense on the MP. Specifically I was noticing it on the center main strings, I could see a slight difference with the didstance between the strings. I hope that info is helpful. Troy, TW

You guys uploaded the wrong audio for this episode on Spotify.

[@tenniswarehouse]

Thanks for the head's up!

[@tenniswarehouse]

Should be updated! :)

[@skiphsf]

It's the wrong audio again. You uploaded the Rublev episode haha.

[@vaderg5272]

Interested in the stiffness rating of both the new Pro and MP models

[@odb233]

These are already at my local shop. They are bright AF

[@alejandrogandolfid]

How many tension do you recommended for Extreme Pro 2024?

[@tenniswarehouse]

We liked it at 52 lbs, but for a bit more control, maybe a little higher or possibly a thicker gauge. Michelle, TW

[@alejandrogandolfid]

@@tenniswarehouse Thanks!

[@grantboucher3230]

Yeah looking forward to trying the auxetic 2 but going more extreme by adding white can’t see it. Much prefer old cosmetics

[@WaltKurtz68]

Funny to hear from Dennis Fabian 'nobody uses a full bed of multi' 🤣Apparently I am doing it WRONG!! I have ALL my racquets strung with a full bed of Velocity MLT and I love it in every stick, from Pro Tour 2.0 to Speed Pro, Radical Pro and Prestige Tour AND Pro! 😆HELP Me Dennis !!!!! 😅🤣😂

[@javierjimenez786]

He was specifically referring to any professional player

@@javierjimenez786 So you're calling me unprofessional?

[@WaltKurtz68]

😆😉

[@javierjimenez786]

@@WaltKurtz68 lol... It'll be difficult to get out of this one 😅. Did you find Velocity MLT underpowered? I have a full bed of blue Velocity MLT in a Dunlop Aerogel 2 Hundred and love it, for sure I'll be trying the new Velocity Power

[@WaltKurtz68]

@@javierjimenez786 Not at all. It's a multi so the stiffness is low and the elasticity is high, and in my experience there's enough trampoline effect. As a matter of fact I have most of my rackets strung at 20 kgs (44 lbs) and they're all still perfectly controllable. Velocity Power will probably need 1 or 2 kg extra. Does the blue MLT play /feel the same as the natural / black one?

[@TheEriclikeseatin]

Head, replace the light green/beige color with glittery black and you will have a real banger of a cosmetic!

[@adriellepretre9047]

Agree Though i like this one also But yellow black is cool

[@steveg.7490]

nah, you can't do yellow and black like the Pure Aero - yellow and white is better to keep it different IMO.

[@franzose1967]

nice hoodie

[@flodar1548]

97 for the PRO?

[@tenniswarehouse]

98, just like the Extreme Tour that it replaces.

[@derekpappas1556]

Again with the change of name . Head is not known for making any stats less confusing , with the amount of rackets in their lines . Add power ratings and now ra stats . Put it all together and see if it becomes less complicated or confusing .

[@adriellepretre9047]

I like this one but bright yellow and black would be better. Dint like the avocado version

[@PallasMudist]

This guy sounds exactly like Giorgio Moroder 🎶

[@JM-dp4bo]

Hoping there will be a decent special edition paint job. I really like the auxetic 2.0 racquets feel so far. Watching pros play with this now it looks like a big yellow blob on tv.

[@dougnaquin7611]

I really like the new cosmetic, but I can see how it might not be to everyone’s taste.

[@PrecisionPointTennis]

[@pedronogueira6962]

Marcelo mello uses full multifilaments

[@lsfire3489]

97 on the pro surely you mean 98

[@JTACTR]

New Extreme looks terrible imho...

[@adriellepretre9047]

Its relative. I like it. As with woman.

[@2033rabbit]

Better than the last one for sure

[@jmp62276]

I prefer the new cosmetic to the last generation. But my favorite was the yellow & grey from 2 generations ago.

[@wadecarroll3572]

The avacado colorway looked way better

[@dropshot118]

that raquet looks like a lemon cake....not a compliment. what graphic designer in Germany got paid money to design that???

[@theonlyfloever]

Head is an Austrian company, different country... But I agree, it's ugly.

[@dropshot118]

Sorry guys, it looks terrible

[@AustinLNale]

Head & their unimaginative, lazy aesthetics the past 6+ years (invert the colors every 2 years with no other detailing) 🤦🏻‍♂️ Taking over for Wilson (parentheses design) as the company with predictably boring racquet colorways. Love playing with the Extreme Tour though 🔥
