I got to try this racquet and the gravity pro yesterday. I agree with everything you said except it didn’t feel unstable and had quite a high launch on forehands. It was similar to my old diadem elevate but more power. The gravity pro was strung way too high tension and was more work than it was worth. The extreme tour definitely felt better than the new ezone. The ezone was too flimsy for volleys. It was tough going back to my duel g 330 after playing with the extreme. Also, I can’t believe how cold it is where you are. It is easily 100 degrees F with humidity every day here in New Orleans for me.
Haha its starting to get there in temperature for sure - id say the missing 3g in the specs had to be off the head, it was unnatural i reckon, i had a similar problem with a strike 16x19, but a 2nd one i bought was totally fine, its worth at least a buy for me, to see what its really capable of - agree with the ezone, havent hit with tour just yet, but it feels pretty hefty in my hand, SW 332-335? no confirmations on average yet Launch angle was still ok for me, but i wasnt using my spinny strings yet, alot of my shanks fell in from the spin though 🤣
Wow great review! I have hit with a ton of rackets and this frame to me is neck and neck with the TF-40 305 & 315's and differs in exactly your descriptions. The low launch angles of those were deal breakers for me, (also both 98 but 18-20). I ended up buying the Extreme MP but I'm most likely going to replace it with the tour since the MP is really hard to control! (quite different rackets LOL..). My Extreme Tour version is also more head light and so I will try adding some weight at 3 and 9 as you said and I think my Lynx Tour 17 at 53# probably needs to be down in the 50# range as you had? I also have a Gravity MP which I like as well for the same reasons. Thanks for taking the time to review this and with the spot on comparisons! 😊
Appreciate it Jeffrey - i always have gone with a 45-48 range for most racquets unless very tight string pattern, and only 50 if its very hot - reason being i want to avoid any overusage of racquets or strings that might be too stiff to handle over a sustainable time, so i'm looking for longevity if i play with poly Extreme Tour i found that a power string actually worked really nicely, and maybe even a smoother string was better, because it already had spin capabilities, and i wanted to lower the launch angle and spin potential, but improve the pop, so although i dont often use it, alu power was very good in my opinion, too expensive though
5:09 This reminds me so much of the Speed MP. With that racquet, it was such hard work to hit through the court as the racquet's very open drill pattern would want to launch the ball up and then straight down. The pace of the shot just seemed to get lost in the loop on the ball.
I guess most people will say it's closer to the Pure Aero's, since it's Heads competitive line, but i havent used them in so long 😅, you only know what you know 🤣 I enjoy hitting with mine, i havent customized the one i actually bought yet, and still hitting with the factory, strings, will be good to see what can do after a full tinker
@@ACTennis Pure Aero is kinda different though as that has booming power that you can use to blast your way through opponents. Racquets like the MP and the Extreme Tour are much more lower powered, less stable etc. I don't like 'em. They seem good 'on paper' but I wasn't convinced by them on court.
It's strange since Speed MP 360+ is much better at controlling launch angles compared to Pure Drive 2021, Clash, Extereme MP.. The pattern is opposite to open. I can flat it out perfectly. Check your center mains on bottom of the hoop. Around 4.8mm! Combined with Solinco Tour Bite Soft. It's LETHAL.
Thanks for your review, I love your intro!!! The voiceover format is better (even if I also like written comments sometimes) but the sound is better I think on the last video with the Ezone Tour where you speak more clearly. Good continuation, love your channel and honest review 👍👍
Thank you for the feedback! This was my first voiceover of any kind so i wasn't sure how it would turn out, a bit nervous if anything haha I am looking to balance out future videos and also continuing to find ways to make them better, so i'm going to add both some text of key points as well as voice overs, just for people watching on low volume or no sound
@@ACTennis nice! Also English is not my mother language even if I understand very well, and sometimes I also like reading sometimes (otherwise Google automatic english subtitles is ok) such as other friends. Well your intro is amazing in this Extreme Tour video! congrats :-)
Well done with the voice-over/editing, and good in-depth review. Really interested to watch this channel grow. Given the other racquets you're playtesting, I'd be interested to see a review of the Diadem Elevate line of racquets; same general specs range but foam-filled.
Hopefully i don't get locked down again anytime soon, but i'm basically interested in any player or tweener frame, in which most case i will try to review if i can afford or demo it - bit more difficult to source Diadem racquets in Australia, but maybe i'll get in contact with them in the future to see if i grow enough - i did use their Solstice Power for about 3 reels haha Thanks for your support! Will do my best
I did buy one, i tried only a couple setups, i personally liked something along the lines of Alu power at 48 the best in it, if you used any sharp or shaped strings like confidential or head lynx tour, i was getting too much of a launch and not able to flatten the ball so easily, also made me feel a little disconnected, and at some times the wrong string will be a little too stiff
Here’s what I’m thinking yonex ptp, 17 gauge. 48 lbs for a little more liveliness and pop as well predictability. Head finest calf skin leather grip. 4 grams total at 3 and 9, 2 grams at 12.
Extreme Tour can feel fine if you use the right strings that are soft enough, but the new Extreme Tour is much more softer, and can be more compared to the Gravity Pro , this one is definitely on the stiffer side, but when it's weighted up and lower tension, then it's totally fine to me
You're lucky - you've got the blacked out demo version. With the retail sticks, Head should give buyers an instant 30% off for having to put up with such a fugly grey and yellow paint job....
Ahaha i thought it was pretty fugly at first, but in person it looks a bit nicer, it's more of a predominantly light grey racquet if anything, yellow isn't so much noticeable unless you keep the super fluro replacement grip uncovered
1. Good review! 2. Pls review ezone tour when able 3. For lead did you add 4 grams each side to 3 and 9 total of 8 grams; double lead layer or just single layer 4 grams total? 4. Maybe think about adding scores for various attributes for comparisons
Thanks! will get the ezone tour up when available, may not actually be allowed to post anything until release date, but i'll check Was just a single layer, and also tungsten, so spread out across I will definitely provide some scores in the future, this one was more of my first impressions, so i didn't want to give a definite number too fast, looking to provide an update video at some point for a few of the racquets, as I've been using alot of them over time Thanks for the suggestions!
@@ACTennis With tennis reviews, it's really the quality of the insight / assessment of the pros/cons of the racquets makes it a good quality review. Video is still needed of course, to get an idea of the trajectory of the ball off the strings, power levels, the ability/inability to hit through the court etc. I think your reviews are really good but I often just watch a coupe of mins, then listen to the rest on the train :-)
Like the format. I’m currently using a Gravity Tour. Like how it feels on impact, although the hoop could be a little firmer. What annoys me is maneuverability. Playing my DR98 side by side. I like it’s maneuverability and how the weight is more uniformly distributed. It’s about 10g heavier than my Tour (off spec), but doesn’t feel that way. What I don’t like about it is that despite the same RA, it feels so much stiffer. I think the hoop is a little too stiff and all the flex is on the throat - I miss the sweetspot too often I end up with a tender wrist. Anyway, was wondering if this Extreme Tour would be a nice alternative or if there’s something better out there.
Honestly sounds like this is totally in between the two, flex is as nice as Gravity, and perhaps slightly firmer, very small differences but enjoyable to play Sweet spot i feel no jarring at all, with my flimsy wrist, its very friendly on the body My Gravity does have some more ball pocketing i think, but it could be that its been restrung many times now and become more flexy Also of all my racquets, its definitely the easiest to swing and use, you just wont get the same control as a 18x20 Gravity, but control is better than the Gravity MP, it does alot of things really well without any weight added PS thanks for the support, i tried to do alot better with the ezone review in terms of voicing, never done this kinda thing before 🤣
Hi, do you have any ball recomendations for this surface? I'm playing on the same kind of surface using Wilson US Open, but they die too fast, meaning they start bouncing too low after 1 hour or so. Thanks!
Slazenger advantage hardcourt are pretty good, they arent fully heavy duty, but they are good quality and longer lasting than the general premium ball, good feel from the first hit, not like a championship ball which feels like a rock sometimes new
Love the new editing dude! I am just starting to trying out and experimenting with Pure Strike 3rdGen. I love the power of that racket but I can see it’s harsh on elbow when I played a lil over 1 and half hour. Maybe this is the stick for me? PS hope you are recovering well! Much love from UK.
Appreciate it! I'm a total newb at video editing and never did a voice over 🤣 so im glad somebody liked it Anyone who is interested in the PS16X19 Gen 2&3 should take a look at this, i really dig the beam shape, i normally cant play 50lbs in this time of year, i drop it to 45 from 48 for winter, but didnt even have the slightest tinge of pain in the wrist
Friend, how can I make this racket a more powerful and stable racket? Obviously adding weight, the swingweight is low in my opinion, I feel like the air slows down the racket. But at the same time I want stability and swing speed in the head extreme tour. Adding a lot of weight at 12 o'clock starts to vibrate a lot, even with an anti-vibrator. If I put six grams at 12 o'clock, how much counterweight should I put on the grip? Or rather, what could I do to achieve what I mentioned I'm looking for in the racket? I would appreciate if you can help me
I found adding too much weight at 12 alone was not good enough, you need to add weight throughout the racquet, so either at 10 & 2 o'clock, or also add some at 3 & 9 , how much it depends on you, ive never seen you play or anything Just remember, if it is a control racquet, it will always be a control racquet, adding weight of course helps with the physics, but if you cant swing it fast enough then it becomes counter intuitive
Vcore Pro 100, easiest to use, most power, forgiveness and spin, not as comfortable and not as fast to swing Extreme Tour most controlled, low powered, great spin, not too forgiving, pretty good manoeuvrability , needs alot of weight Speed MP - enough power, enough spin, lots of forgiveness, very comfortable, very manoeuvrable
Sorry! I haven't had a chance to try out the VS, as it's incredibly expensive, and not i'd be able to spend that kind of money on it, no demos available here unfortunately
I bought one in proper spec, no lead, i didnt find either to be underpowered, but stability did improve in the proper one i bought, demo was bit lacking in stability Havent personally tried PAVS, not available over here, but generally flimsy wrist cant handle Babolats, until PS98 gen3 Extreme Tour is quite comfortable , and i like it quite alot even in stock
Thank you for your great review. Just bought one to test. Seems there is more spin with this frame than with the pure strike, a bit like the Vcore 98, isn't there?
Thanks! Yes it will have more spin with height and launch angle, but Pure Strike will give you alot more penetrating ball, Vcore 98 probably similar aswell, the Extreme Tour has good spin but a little more control focused with a lower power response compared to the other two - still decent power if you can generste it yourself
@@ACTennis Thank you for your answer, my racquet is vcore pro 97 310, I have to generate power by myself. Actually, I've tried Head gravity tour with 5 extra grams in the handle and it was an amazing racquet.
When you're comparing to the EZone 2020, do you mean the 98 (non-tour?) or 100? When you say much more controllable power, do you mean that the power levels are overall similar but you found the Extreme easier to control, or that the Extreme has a higher power level but that it's still controllable? Thanks!
Yeah sorry, Ezone 98 305g 2020, power levels are similar in comparison, Ezone may even have slightly more powered on full fledged swings, but almost no control, Extreme Tour provides a comparable level of power, but also with a good level of control, similar to that of a Pure Strike, but in a more comfortable setup
Only companies or head sponsored / insiders get it, wasnt mine, just used it for video and bought one after For me probably id play better with Vcore 95 but Extreme tour different playstyle and may just be as good if you suit it better
Haha sorry, never got around to it because my city kept getting locked down at this time for a very long time, didnt have a chance to play tennis because they locked our courts and i was also injured
@@ACTennis Thank you for your quick reply. Hope your injuries get better soon :). I have some questions regards to choosing the right racket for myself. Do you do consultations on this? Through email or chat systems? Thanks in advance.
Combination of string and tension, if you strung with a control string, it wouldnt produce enough penetration, something a little bit more lively and slightly lower tension works better i think
Hi, I play with blade v7 and having issues due to the high swing weight. Would the Extreme Tour be as plush as the V7 and would transition to this from a V7 be easy in your opinion? Hard to demo rackets so I’m looking for something easier to swing
Easier to swing yes definitely lower swingweight , no where near as plush or soft though, i think youd get easier power from the Blade v7 still as well, if you have access i would highly suggest new ezone 98 if you want soft, easy to play and lower swingweight
@@TennisFamily I would usually feel something in my wrist at 50lbs in this weather, but nothing at all, its a very nice soft feel, not muted and not too flexible either
Thanks mate, just from Australia, i dont know why it seems so damn cold 🤣, but usually our winter is not even comparable to Europe, it's probably like tshirt weather for them, but i hate the cold, so i layer up quite heavily
I have the radical pro, i've used it here and there, have a rough idea of how it plays, but i'm kind of preparing for a tournament at the moment so just lowering the playtesting for the timebeing , will look to do a video on rad pro soon
@@TheodorosKolokotronis799 Nah i sold it, needed to make space to afford other frames, i preferred it with a power poly and round, alu power or pro line evolution worked well
@ 2:49 - Meant 320g strung 😅- Please let me know what i can improve on, first kind of video for me in this style, feedback is welcome, thanks! 😄
You could put that sections help, along the timeline of the video. Great vid as always!

Did you try it with lead at 10/2 or 12 to see if it gets the free power that it lacks ? Which one would you choose ? PA VS or Extreme Tour ?

Did you try stringing it low at 20kgs? It has tons of control but lacks free power.
Combination of string and tension, if you strung with a control string, it wouldnt produce enough penetration, something a little bit more lively and slightly lower tension works better i think

Different category of racquets, Pro staff and Radical Pro are low powered control racquets, Extreme Tour is more spin and power focused

Easier to swing yes definitely lower swingweight , no where near as plush or soft though, i think youd get easier power from the Blade v7 still as well, if you have access i would highly suggest new ezone 98 if you want soft, easy to play and lower swingweight
@@ACTennis wow thanks for the quick reply.. ok great that was my other choice.
EZone more comfy and easy to use! I’ll try the EZone.
@@MrBruster78 I will release a review on it in a day or two!
Looks like u are enjoying the racquet!!!
It's definitely fun to play with! Looking forward to your video 😁
@@ACTennis yeap, I saw ur timing is just there with this stick...How about the feel, do u feel firm?
@@TennisFamily I would usually feel something in my wrist at 50lbs in this weather, but nothing at all, its a very nice soft feel, not muted and not too flexible either
@@ACTennis good to know. Thx.
Keep the voiceover! Much easier to understand your feelings/thoughts of racquet. Great job!
Thank you, will keep trying 🙂
nice strokes dude, where u at with that cold climate?
Thanks mate, just from Australia, i dont know why it seems so damn cold 🤣, but usually our winter is not even comparable to Europe, it's probably like tshirt weather for them, but i hate the cold, so i layer up quite heavily
@@ACTennis awesome 😀 which city??
@@peterlappland Melbourne :)
Have you playtested radical mp and pro?
I have the radical pro, i've used it here and there, have a rough idea of how it plays, but i'm kind of preparing for a tournament at the moment so just lowering the playtesting for the timebeing , will look to do a video on rad pro soon
Extreme tour or radical mp ?
Haven't tried radical MP , just the Pro
@@ACTennis are your still playing with extreme tour ? String and tension you use ? Any lead mod ?
@@TheodorosKolokotronis799 Nah i sold it, needed to make space to afford other frames, i preferred it with a power poly and round, alu power or pro line evolution worked well
Nice
