Recommend adding lead top the to increase it swing weigh to 330+. Bring this racquet too a new light. Being the guy that always used control frame type but craving more power and spin without the ball going out of the court. This racquet does it with the weigh. For starters the frame type to me feels like a cross between an old prestige and radical which feels like comfort to me. But gives me the power and spins i always wanted.
I received my Extreme Pro and got it out on court yesterday using the factory strung HEAD Lynx Tour with overgrip and dampener. I'd agreed with the majority of what Harry and Jarred said apart from the stability. Of the 305g racquets I have - Blade 98 V8, Ezone 98 23' and Percept 100D the Extreme Pro just doesn't feel like it as dependable particularly when trying to plough through the ball on the forehand.
@ all good choices which suits different play styles. The Extreme Pro - previously Tour is known as a platform racquet and with a bit of weight in the hoop can regain stability with a small decrease in manoverability
@OldManMidnight I don't need to add any weight in my ezone just overgrip. I love forehand and serve but back hand and volleys are a bit meh. Although I'm more of a base liner.
@@RobTennisBeckenham well the 100D is a baseline machine. Just expect to lose the ability to whip top spin shots that is very accessible with the Ezone 98. The 100D has a lot of similar characteristics to the Blade - low launch, great stability in defensive blocks but lacks the Blades manovuerability
Haven't played with one since the first version of the extreme I demoed. It was super stiff and didn't seem to have much feel. Richard Gasquet was playing with one at the time so I figured I would demo it
@@Amine-j2h I switched to the Extreme Pro. Really great racket. More comfortable, forgiving, faster and with more spin than the Blade. For my level (around 3.5) it helped me a lot more.
Guys, thanks for the great content and updates!!! Wonderful you are!!! But, you should use a better mic for outdoor talks; it is so noisy out there and speech quality is getting quite low. 🙏✨
Re:pro/tour/pro naming Originally, there were the MP and Pro. Then they added the Tour. The Pro was very different from the Tour. They discontinued it and just renamed the Tour as the Pro.
Of course, I watch all the broadcasters and everyone's common conclusion for this racket is that the racket has no feeling. The opinion is that it is spin heavy and lacks power. As someone who had a similar experience with Wilson Shift. 1. I observed that the flight trajectory is high in your video. 2. It appears to create spin. 3. observed that it was not producing enough power. 4. Pop seemed enough. 5. Since you only edited his own shots in the video, his maneuverability is not visible. We don't know how to maneuver it. I wish you could provide a full rally video. Frankly, I could not find a clear answer about how suitable the racket is for whom.
I think their trajectory is only high cause they commented on stringing the racquet gut at 60. Which in my opinion being able to keep the ball in makes the racquet looks all that much better
What a crock! It wasn't long ago that Harry and his mumbling boys determined that an older version of the Extreme Pro was the worst racquet ever made. New paint job makes that much difference huh?
It's a good time to buy the tour 2022 on sale

Oh nice I've got the ezone 98 and thinking about this or the percept 100d. I found the blade 98 v8 way too underpowered for me.

I've got 1 on order. Looking forward to getting it out on court. Nice review.
Nice review.
If I switch from a Blade V9 16x19 to this Extreme Pro 2024, what can I gain and what can I lose?
You’ll lose a Blade and gain a Pro.
spin spin spin

@@edx1000oh my god i was hesitant between both you helped me a lot,my heart was telling me go extreme pro and you confirmed it
@@edx1000hey what string setup do you use

Head Avocado Pro 2.0. The main difference is the level of ripeness of the Avocado 🥑.

How is it compared to the Shift?

Haha. Tennis people. frustrated after testing 50 rackets. Just grab any racket.

So lorenzo musetti using this under paint job doesn’t under tennks ?
Hey man, I’m in trouble, I have a Babolat pure drive and I don’t know if it’s graphite or aluminium, it was £150 but feels like aluminium
At that price point it's carbon.
All racquets are, except some kids' toys or knockoffs.
Where did you buy it?
@@sebastiandomagala9233 can't remember NGL, I think it was tennisnuts
@@sebastiandomagala9233nah Babolat would still have the nerve to sell aluminium at £150
So pro or Mp?
Prooooo but whatever you like in head size
They bumped up the swing weight from the previous one from 315 to 325
Discount code?
Just weight up the MP

Looks horrible..
Sorry, but worse review.
