HEAD Extreme Motion 2026

The HEAD Extreme Motion 2026-2027 padel racket is built for advanced and competition-level players who want explosive power without sacrificing speed and manoeuvrability. With its diamond shape, high balance and 360 g weight, it is designed for an aggressive style of play, particularly on smashes, víboras, attacking volleys and X3 shots.
Compared with the Extreme Pro, the lighter construction makes the Extreme Motion easier to accelerate and move quickly around the net. This makes it a strong option for attacking players who want the leverage of a high-balance racket while maintaining a more agile feel during fast exchanges.
The racket combines a carbon frame with UD Carbon HS on the hitting surface and Power Foam inside. The Power Foam provides a fast response and helps generate explosive ball output, while the carbon construction adds stiffness and stability when hitting with pace.
Power Built for the Attack
The diamond shape and high balance place more weight towards the head of the racket, helping create leverage on powerful attacking shots. Combined with Power Foam, the Extreme Motion is particularly suited to players who rely on smashes, X3s, X4s and aggressive finishing shots.
Its 360 g weight also makes it more manageable than heavier attacking rackets, allowing you to accelerate the racket more easily when playing quick volleys or defending close to the net.
More Spin and a Better Feel
The Extreme Spin surface uses a rough 3D texture to increase grip between the ball and racket face, helping you generate additional spin on víboras, bandejas and topspin shots.
Auxetic 2.0 is positioned in the bridge and central carbon bar along the handle. The structure responds to impact and transfers the feel through the racket towards the hand, giving the racket a more responsive feel during play.
The Optimized Sweet Spot drilling pattern is designed specifically around the racket’s characteristics to expand the sweet spot and provide more consistent performance across the hitting area.
Customisable and Comfortable
HEAD’s Soft Cap+ system uses an interchangeable cord that can be customised according to your preference. Its softer material also helps provide a more comfortable grip while reducing vibrations and pressure around the bottom of the handle.
The racket also features Anti Shock Skin Padel, a replaceable polymer protection layer designed to help protect the frame from impacts and scratches and extend its service life.
