A brand with a reputation for innovation, HEAD trace their tennis origins back to the late 60s and the creation of the first aluminium-based tennis racket, the brainchild of company founder Howard Head.
Head, a former aeronautics engineer, began a racket revolution with his idea for light yet strong frames. Attracted by the durability of a metal racket, American icon Arthur Ashe stepped in to give a player’s point of view, assisting with development of the original aluminium frame in 1969. A few years later, a HEAD racket was in the hands of a champion, with Ashe famously wielding his signature Competition to win Wimbledon in ’75.
Since then, HEAD have continued to push the boundaries of racket design, utilising all kinds of space-age materials in the quest for ultimate performance. They’ve had many more champion players using their frames, too, from Agassi and Muster in the 90s to Murray, Djokovic, Sharapova and Stephens in the 21st century.
Their modern range has options for every type of play. There’s the ever-popular Prestige, providing absolute precision since 1987, the versatile Radical with its vibrant paintjobs, and the super-fast Speed, which remains Novak’s racket of choice. More recent additions include the aggressive Gravity, endorsed by Sascha Zverev, the spin-focused Extreme, recommended by Matteo Berrettini, and the explosive Boom, a power-focused frame endorsed by US prodigy Coco Gauff. Whichever you choose, you’ll perform at your best with a HEAD racket.
HEAD GrapheneXT Instinct MP - Blue/White
The Head Instinct GrapheneXT MP delivers the perfect combination of increased power and superior handling with a softer feel and fewer vibrations than ever before.
HEAD has given its legendary Instinct range of tennis rackets a complete overhaul with a new design and updated technology. The series now incorporates HEAD’s updated GRAPHENE XT technology, which makes the centre of the racket 30% stronger for enhanced weight distribution, perfect manoeuvrability and a faster swing.
The Graphene XT Instinct MP delivers the perfect combination of increased power and superior handling with a softer feel and less vibrations than ever before.
The Head Instinct GrapheneXT MP is compatible with the new Sony Smart Tennis Sensor, which records accurate shot data alongside real-time video.
Discovered in 2004, Graphene consists of a single two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms. This material has a breaking strength 200 times greater than steel, which makes it the ultimate substance for creating new HEAD tennis racket frames with exceptional properties. Graphene technology allows for the first time an optimal redistribution of weight in HEAD rackets. Through the use of Graphene in the shaft, the weight in the middle part of the racket can be reduced. Instead, weight can be shifted from the racket shaft to more functionally relevant areas in the tip and grip. This unique construction provides players with an unmatched manoeuvrability and an increased swing weight. In other words, a racket with Graphene is easier to swing and enables even more powerful shots.
Headsize: 100 sq inch
Weight (U): 300g
Balance: 315 mm
Beam: 23/25/21mm
Length: 27 inch
String Pattern: 16/19
Please be advised that this racket will come strung unless the image displays otherwise.
Please note that all HEAD Instinct rackets come without a protective head cover.
