The review

The Xtrem Lite is the lightest Genius, now 350 to 360 g for 2027, with the same teardrop head and 12K Alum Xtrem face as the full-weight model over a soft HR3 White EVA core.

The lighter build makes it quick at the net and kinder over a long session, and the soft core takes some of the sting out of the 12K face. It gives up finishing weight on the overhead in return, so it suits a player who wins points with placement and speed rather than smash power.

Highlights

Top 3% for handling, and in the bottom quarter for value.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 83% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
