Great review! I play with a 2022 Speed MP and liked it so much that I bought the 2024 Speed MP as well. But after playing with it I actually prefer the 2022 model for the reasons mentioned in the video. Just more "feel" on contact. And I wasn't accustomed to the higher swing weight on the 2024. The 2024 Speed MP made me feel like I was wielding a baseball bat compared to the 2022. That's the great thing about rackets, most of whether a racket is good or not comes down to preference. There aren't necessarily "bad" rackets out there. Just what's good or bad for "you".
I just bought MP and string with restring zero and I absolutely love it, power is great, spin is better then my prestige and still top heavy enough to plow with 1 HBH.
Great review. However, can you comment about jarring feel if hit off center/ out sweet spot? The new one has larger grommet supposed to cater string movement if off center? My elbow gave me problem lately. Thanks
Dear HEAD, I have demoed this racquet and really loved hitting with it, but the nasty neon yellow is keeping me from buying it. Since it’s great for rising juniors and aging advanced players, please make the next paint job more attractive to older customers.

Maybe they can take our opinions seriously because we test all the rackets ourselves and give honest reviews. Or maybe they don't take them seriously at all, but stay for the sparkling company. Who could say?!
perfect, just the review i was looking for, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Was a 2022 and played the 2024 yesterday. I prefer the MP 2024. More comfort more touch

this is not a speed raquet..this extreme.
@@dropshot118 Yes but the point is the difference in the Auxetic 1.0 vs 2.0.
Great review thanks. A really clear description of the differences between the two rackets.
I just bought MP and string with restring zero and I absolutely love it, power is great, spin is better then my prestige and still top heavy enough to plow with 1 HBH.
Yeh we strung an MP with Zero this week too - and loved it! Great combo
would you say auxetic 2.0 is a bit more stable than the avocado?
Does that mean that the 2024 version suits you bettet if you tend to have a tennis elbow?
Would be interesting to see 2022 Tour Vs 2024 Pro comparison
It's coming! Watch this space...

Will you make the same video for extreme tour 2022 vs extreme pro 2024?
Do you have the exact dimensions for the 98 elite??? Not on heads website
Thanks for the review. Which one is more similar to Pure Aero 2023 when playing?
Ahh funny you ask - we filmed an Aero vs Extreme video this week!
The extreme MP is most like the Aero (but, spoiler alert) the Aero is better!
@@PH-Tennis Look forward to it!

The sound of the 2024 was supposed to be improved. Thoughts on that??
I have to say, I didn't notice. Was the sound an issue for you with the 2022?
@@PH-Tennis I heard many say it was some kind of hollow sound. And that Head was trying to change it. Who knows…🤷♂️
I'm trying to figure out how long ago Head released this 2024 update... Oh, 7 hours ago 😅
Whenever I hear the word "muted," I'm extremely skeptical.
I think the new model looks horrible and prefer the 2022 colors

Happy you got rid of the chubby one 😂
No specs on 98 elite anywhere, not even head website

2022 extreme was your racket of the year??? It was hollow feeling ..empty tin box of sardines ...so how can anyone take your opinions seriously
Agree! I used a ProStaff the other day. Real strong Baked Beans vibes ... much better!
