What players say

Liked 6 sources

Reviewers treat the Extreme MP XL as the standard Extreme MP with an extra half inch of length, and most say HEAD pulled it off without the usual extended-length trade-offs. The added leverage shows up most on serve and in spin generation, while the moderate swingweight (around low-to-mid 320s) keeps it from feeling like a sledgehammer.

Best for

Players wanting more reach and leverage on serve
Extreme MP fans chasing extra spin and pace
Two-handed backhand players
Players who dislike sluggish extended-length frames

Pros

Serve is the standout: extra racquet-head speed and leverage add power and heavy spin
Swingweight stays moderate for an extended-length frame, so it doesn't swing like a sledgehammer
Medium-firm feel with good dampening; contact isn't harsh or jarring
Retains the MP's control and stability despite the added length
Spin picks up noticeably over the standard-length MP thanks to the extra leverage

Cons

A couple of testers wanted more weight or plow through at net
One buyer found it too light compared to heavier extended frames like the Solinco Whiteout XTD+
Returns take some adjustment time to get used to the extra length
Extended-length 100 sq in frames are a niche category that won't suit every player
