The Extreme Motion 2026 combines diamond shape and high balance with a carbon frame containing graphene and a hitting face of unidirectional carbon. The Power Foam core and the hard construction give a fast, powerful ball exit on the víbora and other attacking shots. Auxetic 2.0 technology sits in the bridge area and on the central carbon strut along the handle. The 364 g sit towards the head, so the racket rewards full, fast swings with plenty of pressure, but is less forgiving on off-centre hits. The rough surface gives the ball more grip for spin.
At 364 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Diamond means: mass high up, a small, high sweet spot – maximum power, but less margin on off-centre hits than round and teardrop; the high balance puts the mass to work on the smash, but puts more strain on the arm. The hard core gives direct feedback on clean contact but is less forgiving. With power 9 and control 5 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
Compared with the 2025 Head Extreme Motion, it is 4 g heavier, the core is hard instead of medium; the older model year is currently €6 cheaper. With a forgiveness rating of 2.0 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 77% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. 9 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €169.79 to €216 – a €46 difference for the same model.
Attacking intermediate and competitive players who want to finish points at the net with the smash and víbora and have the technique for a hard, head-heavy racket.

Our classification: Intermediate and Competitive. Its forgiveness is 2.0 out of 10 – uncompromising, only for consistent hitters.
The Head Extreme Motion 2026 weighs 364 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a hard core (Power Foam). The frame is made of Carbon.
Not by our rule: the core is hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards, 364 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
