Head Extreme Motion 2026 padel racket

The Head Extreme Motion 2026, Extreme power in a faster frame

The Head Extreme Motion 2026 carries the attacking platform of the Extreme range into a lighter, faster frame than the Extreme Pro. The same intent, in a format that is easier to swing.

Who is this racket for?

The advanced player who attacks but does not want a 370 g pala. At 360 g, with a 38 mm profile, a 495 cm² face and a balance we measure at 27 cm, it keeps mass in the head to weigh in when the ball goes up, while staying clearly easier to carry through a long session.

The technologies explained

• Auxetic 2.0: the heart structure deforms by widening at impact, sharpening the feedback on every shot.
• A hole layout designed to widen the ideal hitting zone: this is the real difference from the Extreme Pro.
• UD carbon hitting surface: unidirectional carbon fibre, for stiffness and an explosive feel in fast exchanges.
• High performance foam: the most reactive core in the Head range, for energy transfer on overheads.
• Extreme Spin roughness and a carbon frame measured at 89 RA.

The Extreme Tennis team's view

Of the two Extreme models, the Motion suits the widest range of players. Our readings bear this out: power almost level with the Pro, but clearly better control and far more favourable handling. The 10 g saved barely register on the scales yet show through the swing, and the hole pattern widens the contact area. In return the balance stays at 27 cm, so this is not a manoeuvrable pala in the strict sense. Supplied without a cover.
