HEAD Extreme Elite Tennis Racket (2026)

HEAD Extreme Elite Tennis Racket (2026) is a tennis racket designed for beginner and intermediate players seeking effortless power and spin in a lightweight frame. Weighing just 260g, it offers easy manoeuvrability without sacrificing stability, while the 100 sq. in. head and open 16x19 string pattern provide a generous sweet spot and excellent access to spin. Featuring HEAD's new Hy-Bor technology alongside Spin Grommets and Sound Grommets, it delivers a crisp feel with improved string movement for heavier, more consistent shots.

The head-heavy balance helps generate extra depth with less effort, making it an excellent choice for developing players who want to play an aggressive baseline game. Finished in the latest vibrant Extreme cosmetic, the Elite combines confidence-inspiring performance with exceptional value. :contentReference

Staff Pro Review

The Extreme Elite is ideal for players progressing from a starter racket who want easy power and plenty of spin without moving to a heavier frame. Its lightweight construction makes it comfortable over long sessions, while the Hy-Bor material gives the racket a noticeably more solid and stable response than you would expect at this weight.

FAQs

Q. What does Hy-Bor technology add to the racket?
A. Hy-Bor is an aerospace-grade material that increases perceived stability during the swing, creating a crisper impact feel while supporting both power and spin.

Q. How do Spin Grommets improve performance?
A. Spin Grommets allow the strings to move more freely, increasing string snap-back to help generate heavier topspin and improved ball rotation.

Q. Are Sound Grommets only for acoustics?
A. No. Alongside producing a more satisfying sound at impact, they also optimise string movement and help improve vibration feedback for a more comfortable hitting experience.
