Overview
With the Graphene 360+ Extreme Tour, Head adds a new model (and mold) to the Extreme family. For this model, Head has taken the explosive speed, juicy power and massive spin potential of the Extreme MP and given it a more surgical 630cm² head size along with a thinner beam. The result is an unmistakable boost in control, which translates into higher confidence when attacking the ball. Like other members of the Extreme family, this racket features Graphene 360+, which combines the stability and power of Graphene 360 with SpiralFibers in the lower head for a cleaner feel at impact. It also comes with a reinforced Spin Shaft for greater torsional stability, along with 360 Spin Grommets, which use larger funnel shaped grommets to enable greater string movement and vicious snapback (think heavier ball rotation). From the baseline the Extreme Tour offers easier acceleration than the majority of its competitors, making it one of the more accessible and user-friendly rackets in its weight class. Although it lacks the mass and plow through of a more traditionally weighted player's racket, the speedy feel makes it easier to scramble on defense or ratchet up the stroke speed when going for extra power and spin. At net the Extreme Tour's mobility makes it great on reaction volleys, but it also packs enough pop for closing out points with a bang. This stick also shines on serve where it whips easily through contact to deliver a dangerous combination of pace, spin and precision. Ultimately, with this new addition to the Extreme family, Head has given experienced players the needed precision to select ambitious targets and take massive cuts at the ball.

Previous Feedback
I just bought two of these rackets from TW Europe. At first I want to emphasize that the weight difference between them is 5.5 grams. This is totally unacceptable from a leading brand like Head. Also I believe that TW should make a little effort by make a check before sending racket pairs to customers. The Head Extreme Tour is a control oriented racket, doesn't have enough power and plow through. The good part is that the frame can be customized easily. I added 8 grams of lead tape at 3-9 position and the racket transformed completely.
