Performance on Court
When trialling the Head Extreme Pro, from the very first hit, it felt strong and reliable. The rigid carbon face and multilayered core create easy power, yet the racket still offers good control on softer shots.
It handles forehands, backhands, and quick volleys with a crisp strike, while we feel the sweet spot is generous for a diamond-shaped racket.
Advanced players will love how well it moves in fast exchanges. You could be setting up a line drive, pushing through a cross-court rally, or controlling some tricky returns, the frame feels stable and reactive. The Extreme Pro feels soft but provides excellent confidence when driving through the ball.
Attacking Play
On attack, the racket delivers a lot of power. Smashes and overhead shots come with real bite thanks to its top-heavy balance. Even drop shots have surprising accuracy because the core provides a softer response when you ease off.
If you like to finish points quickly, the Extreme Pro gives you tons of power without losing much precision.
Defensive Play
Defence in padel is all about control, and the Pro makes this easier than most diamond-shaped rackets. The multilayer core absorbs incoming pace, which helps during long rallies and quick returns from the wall.
The shock-absorbing grip is also a bonus, keeping vibrations low when you miss the sweet spot.
Net Play
At the net, the Extreme Pro is steady and dependable. Volleys are firm, drop shots stay controlled, and block returns feel natural.
The balance between easy power and control is clear here, letting you react quickly while still finishing points with authority.
Who Is It For?
The Head Extreme Pro is ideal for:
-
Intermediate to advanced players who want a mix of power and precision
-
Aggressive players who rely on overhead shots and drop shots
-
Anyone who wants easy power in attack without losing stability in defence
It is not just a racket with a lot of power. It is also one that adapts well to different situations, from long cross-court rallies to sharp line drives at the net.
Final Thoughts
The Head Extreme Pro is a racket that delivers on both sides of the game. It has the stability and control for long defensive rallies, but also the punch and accuracy for attacking shots.
If you are an advanced player looking for tons of power without sacrificing touch, this racket deserves a serious look.
