New Head MxG 5 Tennis 4 1/4-2" Racquet Black/Red

With a tagline of "power under control," Head's new MxG line of racquets has people talking about its unique bridge construction. This throat design allows for more movement of the main strings for greater power and comfort, and the bridge is infused with magnesium (the M in MxG) for stability and control. Graphene Touch material (the G in MxG) is added to the frame for power and dampening. The MxG 5 is an extended length racquet with a forgiving 105 square-inch head and a 16x18 string pattern. The TW playtesters hit the court with this new weapon and found ample power and maneuverability, and a generous sweetspot. From the baseline, the playtesters enjoyed easy depth and plenty of spin. Weighing 10.3 oz strung, the lightweight MxG 5 had some stability issues on volleys and returns of serve, especially when our playtesters were facing hard hitters. Our playtesters also would have liked a little more weight behind their serves. Beginner through intermediate players looking for an easy to use racquet with a generous sweetspot will want to take a closer look at the Head MxG 5.
