Head’s Instinct line is known for its ‘effortless power’ concept, meaning that these racquets deliver power without requiring much effort. The new Head Graphene XT Instinct MP stays true to this promise and has proven to be a versatile racquet that plays easily and is suitable for a wide range of players.
Playing features
The Head Graphene XT Instinct MP is positioned in the same segment as the Babolat Pure Drive , a popular choice for players looking for a combination of power, spin, and comfort. What stands out about this model is the good touch and comfortable feel, which is nice for players who like to vary their strokes. The redistribution of the weight in the frame makes the racket very maneuverable, which is useful for fast reaction times at the net and during defensive play.
Power and Spin
The 16/19 string pattern and enlarged grommets at 3 and 9 o'clock help create a large sweet spot . This ensures consistent performance, even on off-center hits, and provides an extra bit of vibration dampening. The power and spin are released easily, which will be especially appreciated by baseliners who like to drive the ball deep without much extra effort.
Comfort and Stability
The Graphene XT Instinct MP’s frame offers a comfortable feel, which is nice for players looking for a smooth playing experience. However, the torsional stability may leave something to be desired for some players. This means that if you value maximum stability and torsional stiffness, a model from the Prestige, Speed or Radical line might better suit your needs.
Conclusion
The Head Graphene XT Instinct MP is a great all-rounder for players looking for easy to generate power and spin, combined with a comfortable feel and a large sweet spot. While the lack of torsional stiffness may be a point of concern for some players, this racquet still offers a pleasant playing experience for a wide range of playing styles.
