Adult Tennis Racket Auxetic Extreme MP Lite 280 g - Yellow

Weight (unstrung racket)

280 g



Weight: Measured in grams. Just like balance point and length, the weight impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power it transfers to the ball, but the harder it is to handle. The lighter the racket, the easier it is to handle, but the trade-off is less power.

Balance (unstrung racket)

32.5 cm



Balance: This is the racket balance point, measured in centimetres from the bottom of the shaft. The higher the number (head heavy), the more powerful and stable upon impact the racket will be. However, it will also be harder to manoeuvre. The smaller the number (grip biased or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle but you'll have less power and stability.

Head size

645 cm²



Head size: This is the surface area of the racket head size measured in squared centimetres. It has an impact on the racket's forgiveness and power. The larger the head size, the more powerful and forgiving it is, but the downside is less control. The smaller the head size, the greater the feeling of control, but you sacrifice some power and forgiveness.

Stringing:

16 x 19



String pattern: This is the number of mains (vertical strings) x the number of crosses (horizontal strings). The more strings the pattern has, the more "closed" it is; the fewer it has, the more "open" it is. A more closed string pattern offers a greater feeling of control, but less power and spin. A more open string pattern provides more power and spin, but less control.

Length

68.5 cm



Length: This is the length of the racket from the bottom of the grip to the top of the head. It is measured in centimetres. The longer the racket, the more power you'll get, but the flip side is that it will be harder to handle. The shorter the racket, the easier it will be to manoeuvre, but you'll have to give up power.

Section

23mm/26mm/21mm

Auxetic 2.0

The Auxetic 2.0 technology perfected by Head is built into the heart of the racket. It optimises the racket's feel and response based on the force of impacts.

360 Grommet

This racket is made with the new 360 Grommet system, with larger eyelets that allow better string movement and therefore increased spin.

Head Dynamic String Pattern

The dynamic 16x19 string pattern has 8 grommets at the heart of the racket to provide the control of a tight string pattern with the spin and forgiveness of an open string pattern.
