Head MicroGel Extreme Tennis Racquet '09

Product Description

Head MicroGel Extreme Tennis Racquet '09
The 2009 version of the HEAD Extreme is very similar to the '08 version with the addition of Teflon friction reducing polymer to the grommets.

Head breaks new ground by injecting Teflon friction reducing polymer and provides the most innovative generation of grommets to date! This technology enables the strings to slide through the grommets with nearly no friction. The benefit? The friction reducing polymer dramatically reduces mechanical energy loss during ball impact and allows for greater string movement due to the low resistance, offering more power.

The Extreme racquet has been designed for aggressive, competitive players with a long swing style. Extremely strong and extremely light, these frames possess MicroGel technology for unique responsive qualities. MicroGel is a silicone-based material with the lowest density of any solid known. When combined with carbon composite fibers in the racquet head, MicroGel deforms and compresses upon ball impact, uniformly absorbing and distributing the impact load around the entire frame, creating a rock-solid feel.

Another improvement Head has made with the new Extreme to traditional racquets is immediately visible: the geometrics of the racquet head size are changed making it wider and rounder. This increased width can allow the ball to slide across a wider stringbed, generating greater spin velocity and providing more power.

Ideally suited for players with aggressive, long strokes. Recommended for the 5.0-7.0 NTRP level players.
