Extreme Pro
Our Verdict
The HEAD Extreme Pro 2024 is one of the most explicitly attack-oriented rackets in HEAD's current line-up, and it makes no apology for that. The Power FOAM core, high-balance diamond shape, and rough hybrid carbon-fiberglass faces combine to produce a racket that rewards players who move forward, finish points, and generate their own pace. Graphene Inside reinforcement in the frame keeps the structure rigid and consistent under repeated hard contact, ensuring ball exit is predictable when you swing with intention. Auxetic technology adds an unexpectedly refined touch to what is otherwise a very aggressive package, making net exchanges feel controlled rather than unruly. If you play like Arturo Coello — pushing forward, punishing short balls, and finishing with viboras and smashes — this racket will feel built specifically for you.
Extreme Pro
The HEAD Extreme Pro 2024 is Arturo Coello's competition weapon — a high-balance diamond built to dominate the net with smashes, viboras, and aggressive volleys. It is unambiguously designed for advanced or professional players who prioritise power and spin generation over defensive comfort.
- Players who live at the net will find exceptional smash power here, driven by the combination of a Power FOAM core and a high-balance diamond geometry that loads significant momentum into every swing.
- Generating heavy effect on the ball is noticeably easier than on conventional surfaces, thanks to the rough-finished hybrid faces working in conjunction with the Extreme Spin technology to grip and release the ball with unusual intensity.
- Impact feel is well-managed for a racket of this stiffness — the Auxetic frame structure distributes contact energy in a way that keeps the hand informed without punishing off-centre hits as harshly as a pure carbon attacking racket might.
- Defensive or back-court players, and anyone still developing racket-head control, will find the high balance and 370g weight a genuine physical demand that compounds errors rather than forgiving them.
About This Racket
Carbon and fiberglass blend — the fiberglass layers add flex and vibration absorption to the carbon’s power transfer. More forgiving feel than pure carbon, with a slightly larger effective sweet spot. A good balance between response and comfort.
Foam core — the softest core material available. Excellent vibration absorption and a large effective sweet spot, making it the most forgiving option on off-centre hits. Particularly effective on touch shots and soft play — less suited to players who rely on hard, flat striking for power.
Diamond shape with high balance. The head-heavy weight distribution increases leverage through the swing arc, translating directly into pace on smashes and aggressive volleys. The sweet spot sits high on the face — effective when attacking, but demands cleaner contact than a round or teardrop would.
Experienced players with developed technique who favour aggressive, attacking play. Suited to competitive club players who dominate from the net and want maximum pace on smashes and volleys. Demands clean contact — rewards it with explosive performance.
