Who this racket is for
The Head Extreme One 2023 is designed for competition or pro-level players who prioritise performance and precision over comfort. Its diamond shape moves the sweet spot to the top of the face, giving more leverage and power at the cost of some tolerance. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. With a weight of 345g, it sits among the lighter rackets on the market: easier to swing and less stressful on the elbow.

- ✓Maximum maneuverability (10) despite a maximum power rating (10) — a remarkable combination
