Instinct MP (2024)
The Instinct MP is Head's lightest mainstream performance frame — a 280g, head-heavy design that delivers easy power and effortless swing speed. It's built for intermediate players who want to generate pace without a heavy racket. The wider beam adds pop and a forgiving feel, making it a popular choice for recreational players transitioning off beginner frames.

If you want easy power in a light, maneuverable package, the Instinct MP delivers. Great for recreational players and those coming back to the game after a break.
Editorial note
The Instinct MP does what it promises: it puts easy power in the hands of developing players without demanding a high-level swing. Not a frame you'll grow into long-term, but excellent at its target level.
