HEAD iPrestige MP 2.0 Tennis Racket
The HEAD iPrestige MP 2.0 Tennis Racket is a precision-focused performance racket designed for advanced and tournament-level players who demand control, stability and consistent ball placement. Featuring a 320 g unstrung weight, compact 95 in² head and dense 18 x 20 string pattern, the iPrestige MP 2.0 rewards players with developed technique and the ability to generate their own racket head speed.
Inspired by the original HEAD iPrestige used by Grand Slam champions Arnaud Clément, Gustavo Kuerten and Goran Ivaniševic, this special edition combines the traditional Prestige playing characteristics with Intellifibers technology and a classic 20 mm box beam construction.
Classic Prestige Control and Precision
The iPrestige MP 2.0 features a 95 in² head size and 18 x 20 string pattern, providing the controlled response associated with traditional tournament rackets.
The compact head and dense string pattern are particularly suited to players who generate their own pace and prioritise accurate ball placement over easy power.
For players with long, developed swings, this construction provides the feedback needed to direct groundstrokes confidently, flatten out attacking shots and maintain precision during fast exchanges.
The racket is especially well suited to technically confident players who prefer a direct connection to the ball.
Intellifibers Technology for Enhanced Feedback
The iPrestige MP 2.0 features HEAD's Intellifibers technology, designed to reinforce the frame and improve the connection between the player and the ball.
This construction contributes to the racket's stable response during impact, helping players feel how the ball contacts the string bed.
For competitive players who rely on precise timing and controlled shot-making, this feedback is particularly valuable when directing groundstrokes, returning serves and placing volleys.

The HEAD iPrestige MP 2.0 celebrates the original iPrestige racket associated with Grand Slam champions Arnaud Clément, Gustavo Kuerten and Goran Ivaniševic.
Its design stays close to the original, retaining the traditional Prestige appearance and playing characteristics with minimal visual changes.
For long-time HEAD Prestige players, the iPrestige MP 2.0 offers a familiar combination of weight, control and direct feedback, while introducing a classic racket design to a new generation of competitive players.
