Head has recently updated its Graphene 360+ Extreme range of tennis rackets with new 2022 versions.
This article will look at the racket specs of the 2022 versions to see how they compare to the old Graphene 360+ Extreme tennis rackets.
Extreme 2022 vs Graphene 360+ Extreme Tennis Rackets
Extreme Tour 2022 vs 360+ Tour
There isn’t a huge difference between the Head Graphene 360+ Extreme Tour and the updated 2022 version as they both have the same head size, racket length, balance, string pattern, and beam width.
In terms of differences, the 2022 model (320g) has a slightly lower strung weight than the 360+ model (323g), but the difference is pretty small.
The 2022 Tour (317g) has a lower swing weight when compared with the 360+ Tour (318g) but the difference is so small that you won’t notice a difference between the two rackets.
The stiffness rating of the 2022 model (63) is also lower than the stiffness rating for the 360+ model (65) but again you are not going to feel a huge difference between the two rackets.

Extreme MP 2022 vs 360+ MP
The Head Graphene 360+ Extreme MP and the Extreme MP 2022 have the same head size, racket length, strung weight, string pattern, stiffness rating and beam width.
In terms of differences, the 2022 MP (322g) has a slightly lower swing weight than the 360+ MP (325g), but you probably won’t notice much of a difference between them in terms of maneuverability.
Probably the biggest change made to the 2022 version is the balance of the racket with the 2022 MP (4pts HL) being more head light than the 360+ MP (3pts HL).

Extreme Team L 2022 vs 360+ S
In my opinion, the Head Extreme Team L 2022 is an updated version of the old Graphene 360+ Extreme S as both tennis rackets have a 105in head size, a thick beam width, and a head heavy balance.
In terms of differences, the 2022 Team L (281g) has a lower strung weight than the Graphene 360+ S (289g), so the 2022 version will definitely feel lighter in your hand.
The 2022 Team L tennis racket (309g) also has a slightly lower swing weight than the 360+ S (312g) but the difference is relatively small.
The new 2022 version (2pts HH) has a more head heavy balance when compared with the 360+ S (1pts HH) but you aren’t going to feel much of a difference in terms of the balance of these two tennis rackets.
The 2022 Team L (65) is also slightly less stiff than the 360+ S (66).
