Head Extreme Pro 2026

Jul 2

Posted by

If you are thinking of a new 98 square inch high-performance racquet, don’t make a decision until you try this one!

This one is the new Head Extreme Pro for 2026, with a beautiful cosmetic upgrade and material enhancements that improve performance.

Something that you may not notice but is very good is the elongated cross-string holes in the twelve (12) central cross strings’ location.  This design increases the effective hitting area by a couple of inches without increasing the head width.  This is not unique to the Extreme Series, but it does not show up in the Speed or Gravity series.

A Golden (actually gloss black) Opportunity!

Jun 16

Posted by

We have four (4) Head Auxetic Radical MP SMUs (351.1), but this is the only one in gloss black!  All of them can be gloss black, but this is the only one that is currently available.

The racquet is totally “raw,” no weight, no grip, no swing weight, and no length, yet!

Head 351.1

This racquet will be set up to your specifications.

Your racquet will come with a complete specification document.

You can choose either a leather or a synthetic base grip.

Your racquet will be strung with Ashaway MonoGut ZX Pro (17-gauge), either black or natural, to introduce you to the benefits of PEEK.

The cost of this opportunity is $525.00, including tax and shipping in the United States.

Please contact us if you have any questions about this or any of our other SMU racquets.

 

 

We refer to these racquets as Special Make Up (SMU). Others may call them Pro Stock. Either way is OK with us!

Right here…Right now! Squared

Apr 3

Posted by

The brand new Head Squared racquets are here, but we don’t expect them to be here long!  This is a much-anticipated arrival, and we are excited to show and talk about this racquet.

Head Squared…Here!

In a “nutshell,” this racquet departs from some norms.  That is the Dual Tube foam-filled addition to the shaft, enhancing comfort and calmness.
A 16 x 18 string pattern that offers easy access to deep ball contact.
The overall weight is ideal for aggressive, stable play, and the swing weight makes it easy to handle… and fun!
You can see all the technical stuff in the previous post, but the real way to see the racquet is to be here.
Before it is too late!

We have demo racquets of the new Head Squared racquet.  The racquets will arrive soon, and those who have tried it agree it is quite a different racquet!

The racquet specifications make this a model that will suit players of many abilities, and is a stable and easy racquet to play with!

You can demo your Head Squared now at Racquet Quest for delivery about mid-April!

Because this racquet is so different, we have done a few “customizations”.  This post will include two (2) of those customizations.  After you take a look at this data, we can discuss what players thought of each.
