2026 Head Extreme Motion

The Motion is for the attacking player who wants the Extreme's punch without carrying the Pro's full weight through a long match. It comes in at 360g, ten grams lighter than its sibling, but keeps the same high 270mm balance, so there is still plenty of head behind an overhead.

That lighter build is what you notice first at the net: it gets back into position sooner after a smash and is easier to keep up through a third set. The trade is a little less mass behind the ball, so on a flat smash you give up some of the Pro's raw weight of shot, and a stiff carbon face still asks for a clean strike.

Underneath it is the same recipe: unidirectional carbon on the face, reactive Power Foam, Auxetic 2.0 for clearer feedback and a rough 3D finish for spin. HEAD adds graphene to the frame for stability, and the drilling pattern is laid out to widen the sweet spot, which helps when you are stretched.

• Auxetic 2.0 — Set in the carbon yoke and in the bar inside the grip, it reacts at impact to give sharper, more accurate feedback on every shot.
• UD Carbon HS — Unidirectional carbon hitting surface for extra strength, stiffness and an explosive response in fast exchanges.
• Power Foam — HEAD's most reactive foam, built for maximum energy transfer on smashes and other attacking shots.
• Extreme Spin — Rough 3D decal on the face that increases grip on the ball for more spin.
• Optimised Sweet Spot — Drilling pattern laid out to widen the sweet spot.
• Tailored Frame — Frame construction engineered for each model's intended performance rather than shared across the range.
• Soft Cap+ — Dual-component soft butt cap that reduces vibration and cushions the grip, with an interchangeable cord you can swap.
• Anti Shock Skin Padel — Replaceable polymer foil that protects the frame from knocks and scratches and extends its life.
• Graphene Inside — Graphene in the frame for extra strength, stability and energy transfer from racket to ball.
