HEAD MXG 5

The first thing that struck racket tester Howard was the size of the racket head, which he said made the racket look like the old Head Ti.

At 105 inches it was one of the biggest biggest rackets we tested in the intermediate category.

It made for powerful shots. “I didn’t have to work too hard,” Howard said.

Elliot found it generated good power without being too stiff and that it helped his serve as well as offering control on his ground strokes.

“Power under control” is how HEAD promote this model.

This could be the racket for players looking for easy power and a generous sweet spot.
