Head is back for the 2019-2020 season with its 3rd installment of the Extreme Series called the Graphene 360 Extreme and it once again comes in 155, 165 and 175 gram weights. 2 technologies that the previous models did not have are Power Rail and their brand new Graphene 360. With these two additions this will take HEAD’s previous most powerful racquet line ever and make it even MORE powerful. Younger players will prefer the 155 or 165 gram weights while the slightly older player will prefer the 175 gram weights. The Graphene 360 Series new features are as follows:
Graphene 360:
- Forms the structural base of the racquet, strategically positioning Graphene in the throat and extending into the racquet head
- Delivers unparalleled stability and optimized energy transfer from the racquet to the ball
- Maximized the power of your game
Delta Frame Shape:
The first official Head teardrop shape racquet but unlike other brands they have a flatter frame top which Head is characterizing as giving you "effortless power."
AFP string pattern: Adaptive Fan Pattern
Head's new technology allows you to customize your string pattern to match your game. Specially designed bumper guard allows you to choose your string pattern every time you string. (No special inserts required)
- 16 / 16 String Pattern - Ultimate in Power, Precision and Durability
- 12 / 16 String Pattern - Ultimate in Power and Softer Feel
- CHANGE YOUR GAME. ANYTIME.
If the 155 and 165 gram racquets are too light for you check out previous year's Graphene Series which comes in a 160, 170 or 180 weight range.
These are available in the smaller 3 5/8 and larger 3 7/8 grip sizes

A racquet cover IS NOT provided by the manufacturer with this racquet. You have the option to add a cover for $8-$12 if you would like.
RacquetWorld General Notes
RacquetWorld recommends changing the grip to a Python (Our favorite), which will be $12.00 installed, for the added traction to prevent slippage. The Racquetworld Grommet Tape upgrade ($2) can save you $$ in the long run as sometimes strings break from the grommet being worn down. For those who don't know what the grommet is, it's the plastic piece at the top of the racquet that the strings go through.When you hit the wall and floor this gets worn down.
The Python Atlas Deluxe string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable than the Python Atlas Deluxe string we suggest. At the time of purchase, the Python Atlas Deluxe restring upgrade is $29.95. It's normally $45 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $15 if you choose the upgrade right away. This string comes in Black or Natural and it’s a very soft string with incredible playability/durability. We recommend the 17g as it’s right in the middle of 16g (most durable) and 18g (most playable but less durable).
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Python Vibration Dampner (Our favorite), Head Megasorb, Gamma Worm or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
The wristlacer black is the default wrist tether that comes on your racquet at no charge.If you want to change colors, a small fee of $3.95 will be added for switching.
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?"It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper.For an extra 2 bucks to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.
Racquet Covers - Choose one for $8-$12 (RacquetWorld Cover is Only $8.00)
A full racquet cover is NOT provided by the manufacturer with this racquet. You have the option of adding a full cover for $8-12 if you would like. If you want the best cover on the market buy the Racquetworld Cover. It is oversized, has a full outside pocket, a handle strap and a large shoulder strap as well as a ventilated pocket to let your grip breathe and best of all its $2-$4 less than the others because we want to help you by supporting our company! The charge will only be $8.00 when added to the cart for this choice instead of $10.00-$12.00 like the other covers.

Head Graphene 360 Extreme 175 Racquet

Racquet produces exceptional power - upgraded to the 12/16 string pattern and it appears to have made a positive difference. It plays similar to my 2005 Head Liquid Metal model in many respects. It doesn't appear to have quite the more delicate touch for "dinks" that my 2005 racquet has but it plays solid overall nonetheless.

The 160/165 is the preferred weight at my club but for stronger players who can swing harder, 175 is the sweet spot for me. I have various weights and shapes, but finally found one that is the perfect combo. This hits like a hammer yet plenty of playability.

This is a great racquet! It does generate a lot of power and a good feel for sure. I got it with factory strings and factory tension to see how it played stock. I like my strings tighter than it came but power is not usually a problem for me as much as control. It’s a great racquet for all levels of player.

I have been using the Head Graphene racquets for some years now. I feel this is their best racquet yet rendering a more powerful feel and shot and a more durable frame. Moving from the older version to this version gave me an immediate comfortable and positive feel along with good control.

Great racquet all around. The balanced feel is perfect as I play either the back or front of the court, so no problem either way.

Exclusive RacquetWorld Racquet Ratings
Ratings and comparisons for all racquets can be found in RacquetWolrd Exclusive Racquet Ratings
Racquetworld's Durability Rating: 95.00
Racquetworld's Power Rating: Age 24- 95.45 Age 35 95.95 Age 45+ 94.44
Racquetworld's Control Rating #1 (Front Court): 97.47
Control 1 (Front Court) represents how the racquet handles upfront in the court. We are basically looking at how certain components stacked together to produce good (or bad) racquet maneuverability. To figure this out we look at the weight, balance point, and shape of the frame. We throw all this info into Pat's brain along with a couple hours of hit testing and out pops the rating. This value is useful especially for doubles players who find themselves covering the upfront court a lot. It is also good to know if you are a good server and find yourself quickly putting away returns off your serve without leaving front middle court.
Racquetworld's Control Rating #2 (Back Court): 96.96
Control 2 (Back Court) represents the traditional control rating when taking a full shot from mid to back court. Our goal with control is to redirect the Force of the ball. We again focus on weight, balance point, shape, string pattern and tension, frame stiffness and on court experience.
Racquetworld's Overall Rating: Age 24- 96.11 Age 35 96.36 Age 45+ 95.61

Graphene - New for 2014 - 2015
Graphene exploded on the tennis world last year and has now made it over to Head's Racquetball Racquet Line..
Discovered in 2004, Graphene - consists of a single two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms. This material has a breaking strength 200 times greater than steel, which makes it the ultimate substance for creating new HEAD racquetball racquet frames with exceptional properties. Graphene technology allows for the first time an optimal redistribution of weight in HEAD racquets allowing for the creation of lightweight racquets with balance point never before acheived.
Benefit:- Has a breaking strength 200 times greater than steel.
- Enables us to create lightweight racquets and shift the balance points down to a level we could not achieve in the past.
- This creates increased swing speed which causes the racquet to become radically powerful.
- In addition to the increased power, the racquet also becomes very maneuverable.
Power Channels
Head takes Power Channels to the next level! This power technology is created through molded tubes in the throat, eliminating exterior string holes and the traditional grommet system. This lengthens each main string and creates maximum stiffness which results in an incredible increase in raw power. The Power Channels are now equiped with Teflon friction reducing polymer allowing the strings to slide through the Power Channels with nearly no friction resulting in maximum energy transfer which increases power on every shot
