The Head Youtek IG Instinct MP is the latest weapon of Maria Sharapova and Tomas Berdych and updates the versatile 'tweener Youtek Instinct with lightweight Innegra fiber for improved shock absorption and stability. Eye-catching new cosmetic and continues the use of d3o technology in a player-oriented package.
Keeping most specifications consistent with past generations of Head Instincts, the YouTek IG Instinct MP offers a 100 square inch head, wider 23/25mm tapered beam, standard 27 inch length, and 10.9 oz. strung weight. More forgiving than the Prestige and Radical. More open 16x19 string pattern for a bit more forgiveness and more spin potential than previous Instincts.
d3o technology is a "smart" material in that it behaves differently under varying dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the frame lay-up and positioned in the shaft area (where the racquet flexes the most), d3o seeks to help players maximize performance on all shots. High speed impacts lock d3o together within nanoseconds at the molecular level, stiffening the frame to provide maximum power. Conversely, on slower speed impacts, the d3o molecules absorb the impact providing softer touch for better feel.
Note: Head does not include a cover with this racquet.
