Extreme Motion

Head’s Motion rackets are the lighter form of the Pro rackets, so this racket, the Extreme Motion, is the 10-gram lighter version of the Extreme Pro. All other characteristics of the rackets are the same.

This results in a more maneuverable racket that still has similar power and the same control of the Pro model.

Similar to the change from the Delta Pro to the Delta Motion, Head has changed the shape of the Extreme Motion slightly from the Delta Motion. The shoulders come up slightly higher and the sides of the racket frame have been flattened. Some reviewers noted that this made it feel slightly less maneuverable than its predecessor.

It’s still a quite tolerant racket, but best for more advanced intermediate players.

"It’s an intermediate-advanced racket, it’s not an easy racket, it’s a light version of the Extreme Pro. I expected more spin. It’s not a racket that gives a direct sensation of the ball, you feel the ball “discretely.” With regard to it’s ball output, it doesn’t have a high initial ball output, but once you reach its threshold, it shoots."

"Head's Motion models are the lighter models prioritizing maneuverability. This racket suits upper intermediate players seeking a combination of power, control, and maneuverability."
