HEAD Extreme Motion 2026 specifications

Who is the Extreme Motion 2026 for?

It suits attacking intermediate-to-advanced players who smash a lot but appreciate a slightly more manoeuvrable racket. HEAD tags it as a 'dynamic power' racket. If you want even more punch and weight is no issue, the Extreme Pro hits harder; if your game is built on control, choose a teardrop or round shape.

Strengths

• Quick power: a diamond with a 270 mm high balance and 360 g, lighter than the Extreme Pro according to HEAD.
• Spin: a 3D rough Extreme Spin surface.
• Sweet spot: according to HEAD, the Optimized Sweet Spot drilling pattern improves response in the hitting zone.

Things to consider

• The diamond shape and high balance leave less margin for error in defence than a round racket.
• Beginners have easier, more forgiving options.

HEAD Extreme Motion 2026 or Extreme Pro: which one?

The Motion is for arm speed; the Pro for maximum momentum on the smash.

Is the Extreme Motion 2026 the same as the 2025 version?

Not quite: according to HEAD, the 2026 version has UD carbon faces, while the Extreme Motion 2025 was sold with Carbon Hybrid HS faces.
