The HEAD Extreme Tour Max is for players who want more power, spin and stability, while keeping the maneuverability of the Extreme Tour line. It is the heaviest in the line, at 230 g (8.1 oz), and has a diamond-shaped profile, a graphite and carbon surface and SpinOn texture, which increases friction for topspin and slice. The core is 11 mm polypropylene honeycomb, and the paddle measures 16 in, with a 4 1/8 in handle.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%64
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
