Balance & Flex Profile
The HEAD Extreme Pro 2026 (product number 233306) is a tournament tennis racket for aggressive players who want power, heavy spin and the stability to control attacking shots. Sitting at the performance end of the HEAD Extreme tennis racquet range, it combines a compact 98 sq in head, a substantial 305g unstrung weight and an open 16x19 string pattern for confident baseline offence.
New Hy-Bor technology reinforces the shaft to maximise perceived stability, giving a solid, connected impact when driving through heavy incoming balls. Auxetic 2.0 adds responsive feedback at contact, while the Spin Shaft, Spin Pattern and Spin Grommets work together to increase string movement and spin. It is designed for tournament and advanced players who generate their own racket-head speed and want the mass, spin potential and connected feel to dictate points from the baseline. Supplied unstrung, in Green.

Performance Overview
The Extreme Pro 2026 is designed for tournament players who create their own offence through spin, racket-head speed and aggressive shot-making. At 305g unstrung it has the mass to drive through heavy balls and stay stable in demanding baseline exchanges. Hy-Bor is a major part of the 2026 package: positioned in the shaft, its high compressional strength maximises perceived stability, and combined with Auxetic 2.0 the frame gives a solid, highly connected impact. HEAD positions the Extreme Pro 2026 for tournament players looking for power and extreme spin.
For aggressive tournament players, stability matters most when returning heavy serves or trading powerful groundstrokes, and a more stable feel through the hitting zone helps you drive through contact. Auxetic 2.0’s feedback helps experienced players sense contact across the string bed on baseline exchanges, drop shots and approaches.
The open 16x19 pattern encourages string snap-back for heavy topspin, the Spin Shaft adds lateral stability and the Spin Grommets free up the mains – a spin-focused platform for high-bouncing forehands, sharp cross-court angles and heavy rally balls that push opponents behind the baseline. With its 98 sq in head and 315mm balance, the Extreme Pro pairs a precise hitting platform with a head-light set-up, suiting advanced players who generate their own racket speed and want a stable frame to control powerful exchanges.
