Head Extreme Motion Review (2026)

Head Extreme Motion

Review updated July 2026

0PRR Score
00

The Extreme Motion is the version of Head's attack line that most people should actually buy: a 360 g even-balanced build with a carbon-fibreglass face that softens the strike into something friendly (comfort 73, tolerance 73) while control 84 quietly runs the show.

Our verdict

The Extreme Motion is the version of Head's attack line that most people should actually buy: a 360 g even-balanced build with a carbon-fibreglass face that softens the strike into something friendly (comfort 73, tolerance 73) while control 84 quietly runs the show. Power 78 attacks selectively rather than constantly, and maneuverability 74 keeps the frame prompt. It plays like a control racket wearing the family's attacking colours. Value 68 is the sticking point, as Head prices it near sharper rivals. For intermediates who want composure with occasional bite, it is an easy frame to like.

We loved
  • Control 84 leads a genuinely balanced package
  • Carbon-fibreglass face is kind to arms
  • 360 g build stays prompt in exchanges
  • Forgiving numbers across the card (73/73)
Worth knowing
  • Power 78: the Extreme name oversells the violence
  • Value 68: priced against harder-hitting rivals
  • Big hitters will find the face muted

The Extreme that isn't, thankfully

The version of Head's attack line most people should actually buy: quietly run by its control, softened into friendliness by the mixed face, prompt in exchanges and forgiving across the card. The name oversells the violence — it attacks selectively, not constantly — big hitters will find the face muted, and it's priced against rivals that hit harder. For balanced club games, that's fine.
