Description

The HEAD Extreme Team 2026 is designed for players looking for a forgiving and lightweight racquet that delivers easy spin and effortless power. With its oversized head and accessible performance, it's an excellent choice for developing players who want to build confidence while enjoying the spin-focused character of the Extreme family.

The oversized 105 square inch head provides an exceptionally generous sweet spot, increasing forgiveness while adding comfort and easy power on off-centre shots. Its open 16x19 string pattern promotes excellent string movement for accessible spin, while the lightweight 265g unstrung construction makes the racquet easy to accelerate and comfortable to swing for extended sessions. The near even balance adds stability and naturally helps the racquet drive through the ball, while the 23/26/22mm beam enhances energy transfer for effortless pace. Together, these specifications create the most forgiving and powerful racquet in the Extreme lineup.

New to the Extreme 2026 series, Hy-Bor technology reinforces the shaft with aerospace-grade materials to maximize perceived stability while preserving the racquet's lightweight handling. Auxetic 2.0 provides real-time feedback for a more connected feel, while the Spin Shaft improves lateral stability to support faster racquet head speed. The open Spin Pattern and Spin Grommets maximize string snap-back for increased spin and power, while Sound Grommets optimize vibration and produce the crisp response that defines the Extreme series. Together, these technologies create a racquet that is stable, comfortable, and exceptionally easy to generate spin with.

The Extreme Team 2026 offers the easiest path to spin and power within the Extreme family. Its forgiving design, lightweight feel, and oversized sweet spot help players rally with greater confidence, generate effortless pace, and continue developing their game with comfort and consistency.

  • Hy-Bor: Play with confidence and power with new Hy-Bor technology. Made with state-of-the-art materials, Hy-Bor has compressional strength that maximizes perceived stability.
  • Auxetic 2.0: Feel every shot and get more confidence in your game with HEAD Auxetic 2.0 technology. It actively responds, giving real-time, super-accurate feedback.
  • Spin Shaft: The spin shaft provides optimized lateral stability, creating higher spin potential
  • Spin Pattern: The open 16/19 string pattern maximizes string snap-back for greater spin generation
  • Sound Grommets: Sound grommets provide enhanced power via greater string movement and optimize sound and vibrations
  • Spin Grommets: Spin grommets allow for greater main string movement in all directions for maximizing power and spin.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.

Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

Adult Racquets Sizing information

Grip Size Length
L0 (4") 4" (4 inches)
L1 (4 1/8") 4 and 1/8" (4.125 inches)
L2 (4 1/4") 4 and 2/8" (4.25 inches)
L3 (4 3/8") 4 and 3/8" (4.375 inches)
L4 (4 1/2") 4 and 4/8" (4.5 inches)
L5 (4 5/8") 4 and 5/8" (4.625 inches)

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
