What players say
Reviewers and playtesters agree the Extreme MP is a big spin and power tool with a large sweet spot and easy depth, especially on serves and heavy topspin shots. Opinions split on the Auxetic 2.0 dampening added in the current generation: some find it comfortable and plush, others call the feel muted or 'plasticky' and say it costs feedback and control compared to earlier Graphene 360+ versions.
Best for
- Spin-focused baseliners
- Counterpunchers and doubles players
- Intermediate players wanting easy depth
- Players who prefer a bigger launch angle
Pros
- Loads of easy topspin on lobs, angles, and whippy shots
- Easy access to power and depth with little swing effort
- Large, forgiving sweet spot
- Maneuverable at net with good touch on volleys
- Comfortable, dampened response from Auxetic 2.0
Cons
- Feel described as muted or 'plasticky' compared to the previous generation
- Control is not a strength, especially at tight targets
- Some testers missed more shots than with the prior version
