HEAD Youtek IG Extreme Racquets available

The new range of Head IG Extreme racquets are available at Tennis Gear.

This racquet provides all of the extra touch, power and spin you want for an aggressive game. HEAD’s YouTek™ concept aims to provide tennis players with the perfect racquet for their individual game. The new YouTek™ IG Extreme is specially designed for the needs of players like Ivan Ljubicic. It offers touch, power and spin for baseline hitters with a long swing style. In addition, Innegra™ promises to bring racquet head innovation to another level. Extremely tough and light, Innegra™ boasts the lowest density of any existing fibre and, combined with carbon fibre, forms an ultra-tough hybrid-composite structure. The result: improved stability and increased shock absorption. Racquet vibration from ball impact is reduced by up to 17 percent, yielding unique control and precision.

The four models of the YouTek IG Extreme line have their technology integrated into the layup of the racquets. It is highlighted by a new shaft which, due to its comfortable ergonomic shape, is also optimized for the double-handed backhand player. The racquet provides a more solid feel and sound on court and better touch on the ball. The secret: a special cross section which provides more torsional stiffness in the shaft.
The distinctive black-and-yellow Extreme also sets trends in racquet design, with modern and aggressive design elements.

HEAD racquet rebel Ivan Ljubicic is convinced by the benefits of the Extreme racquet: “It is a very powerful racquet, if not the most powerful on the Tour. It helps me a lot with my serve, but also to give the ball rotation with topspin and slice.”

The new Extreme range including Pro, MP and Elite models includes the right option for every playing style, backed up by the technological pedigree which has become a HEAD trademark on the ATP and WTA circuits – and anywhere tennis is played.

Get your Tennis Gear Right

Getting your tennis racquets is very important for the success of your game. In fact the rule applies to the rest of the tennis equipment too. You need to have the right tennis clothing, tennis shoes and gear to ensure that you are very comfortable and focused on your game both in practice and on the court.
Tennis raquets should suit the players’ style. Some racquets are light giving the player ease of manoeuvrability. This is for players who like placements and elegance. For power packed shots and greater of force, players prefer the big tennis racquets with heavier frame and high string tension.
However, these tennis racquets do not provide great accuracy or control. Therefore it depends on the individual’s game to pick the right size of racquet, the right tension on the strings, the right shape and weight of the frame and even the right grip.

The tennis shoes and tennis clothing too should complement the player’s style. For example players who are athletes and believe in physical domination of the court, need more breathable clothing and shoes. The tennis shoes should be able to take the high impact on the heels and thereby cushion the feet.
In the absence of proper cushioning, the feet are bound to get tired very soon, reducing the agility of the player on court. Similarly the apparel should be made of a comfortable fabric that soaks the sweat, dissipates the heat and keeps the player cool and comfortable at all times.
