Head Extreme One X (2025)

Very strong. A fixed 370 g with high balance builds real momentum into smashes, serves and fast vibora swings, and the foam core returns energy quickly when your arm is fast.

Decent but demanding. Spin from the rough face helps shape attacking shots, yet late preparation on low volleys, defence and glass exits sends the ball into the net.

The weak point. The weight and head-heavy balance are slow to bring up for low volleys and quick exchanges, so you need to set up earlier than with lighter rackets.

Moderate. Clean contact near the upper face feels crisp and precise, but off-centre hits are not forgiven and the racket is not built for maximum tolerance.
