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.
Prices updated automatically. UK/USA stores show their own price first with the EUR equivalent in brackets for comparison (indicative rate); you pay the store's price and they ship to that region only. Some links are affiliate links — we earn a small commission at no cost to you.
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.
