[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Head Extreme Motion 2023 is a diamond-shaped racket that shops list for Advanced players. Weight is listed from 350 to 370 g, with a high balance of 268 mm. On paper it is comfortable but demanding: low control, low sweet spot. No reviews exist yet, so this rests on specs. The 2025 successor changed six listed specs. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an advanced player who attacks and wants a soft Power Foam core under a diamond shape - you want a racket that reads as comfortable on paper but do not mind a small sweet spot - you plan to compare it with the 2025 version and want to know what the older build is made of Skip it if - you are still learning the game and need forgiveness, because the Head Extreme Edge 2025 is listed for beginners to advanced players - you want a known weight rather than a 350 to 370 g range, because the Tecnifibre Bomba Speed is listed at a fixed 360 g - you want a racket with published reviews behind it, because none have been found for this one ## How it plays 6.9 **padell.io score 6.9** Play 7.1 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%). No independent reviews found yet, so that part starts low. [How the score works](https://padell.io/how-we-score/) - **Control**: 5.0 below average▼ - **Power**: 6.5 around average● - **Comfort**: 7.5 above average▲ - **Handling**: 5.0 around average● - **Forgiveness**: 4.0 below average▼ - **Line = the average of all rackets**: ▲ above ▼ below Everything below comes from the specs, not from court time, and it describes a diamond racket with a soft core. - **Control** Low on paper. The diamond shape pulls it down, while the balance lifts it a little, so you still have to place the ball yourself. - **Power** Medium, as the diamond shape adds punch but the soft Power Foam core takes some of it back. - **Comfort** High, helped by the soft core and the carbon and fiberglass face. - **Handling** Low, so quick volleys at the net take more work from your wrist. - **Forgiveness** Low, which means off-centre hits are likely to be punished. ## Specifications - **Launched**: 2023 Newer version from 2025 - **Shape**: Diamond [Sweet spot high in the face: power overhead, less forgiving](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) - **Weight**: 350 to 370 g Average: not tiring, stable enough - **Balance**: Head-heavy according to the brand, 268 mm Head-heavy: more power overhead, slower to move - **Face**: Carbon and fiberglass - **Core**: Power Foam Soft: comfort and ball exit, less control at high speed - **Thickness**: 38 mm The maximum the rules allow - **Surface**: Extreme Spin Rough: helps with spin - **Handle**: Soft Butt Cap - **Frame**: Tailored Frame Not published by the brand: head size Specs from padelnuestro.com · checked 25 September 2026 · [Spotted a wrong spec?

The face goes from carbon and fiberglass to carbon only. The frame changes from a brand-named frame to unidirectional carbon, and the surface from Extreme Spin to rough. Balance moves from 268 to 270 mm. Weight changes from a 350 to 370 g range to a fixed 360 g. Core, shape, thickness, level and pro player are the same. Handle and head size are not published for the newer racket, so those cannot be compared. On paper the 2025 is the more consistent one, because the weight is fixed. Look at it first if you want the current build. Look at the 2023 if you prefer the face with fiberglass in it. ## Price history Today **€ 109.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 109.95** vs 30-day average **-4%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Six listed specs separate the Head Extreme Motion 2023 from the 2025 version, and the face, the frame and the surface are three of them. No review of the 2023 racket has been found, so this page works from the specs and says where they run out. ## Face, frame and surface: what the 2025 Extreme Motion changed The 2023 racket has a carbon and fiberglass face, a frame listed under a brand name rather than a material, and a surface called Extreme Spin. The [2025 Extreme Motion](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-motion-2025/) lists a carbon-only face, a unidirectional carbon frame and a rough surface. Balance moves from 268 to 270 mm. That is a real rebuild, not a new colour. Core, shape, thickness (38 mm), level and the pro player stay the same. You can see the full comparison on the [2023 versus 2025 page](https://padell.io/compare/head-extreme-motion-2023-vs-head-extreme-motion-2025/). The Extreme family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-pro/) [**One**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-one-2023/) **Motion** ## 350 to 370 g against a fixed 360 g: what the weight range means The 2023 racket is listed between 350 and 370 g. The 2025 version is listed at 360 g for both ends. A range like this can mean the weight differs from one racket to the next. The listed numbers say nothing about which one you would get. A spread that wide matters at this level. The light end suits a tired arm after a long match. The heavy end adds stability and also load on the elbow. If you buy this one, weigh it if you can. ## Carbon and fiberglass over Power Foam: why comfort reads High and control Low The soft Power Foam core raises comfort, and so does the mixed carbon and fiberglass face. Control is the opposite story. The [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) pushes it down, and the 268 mm balance is the only listed factor that lifts it. The result is a racket that is kind to the arm but asks for clean contact. Not a racket that forgives you. The sweet spot reads Low for the same reason. The soft core helps a little. The diamond shape takes more away. No source says where on the face it sits, so expect to learn that on court, and expect off-centre hits to tell you. ## Unbeatable manoeuvrability, says the product page: the meters read Low The product page calls the racket light and promises unbeatable manoeuvrability. Treat that as marketing. The listed [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) of 350 to 370 g is not especially light for a padel racket. The diamond shape also pulls the maneuverability meter down, and the 268 mm balance only lifts it a little. The meter reads Low. These two views disagree, and the specs side with the meter. The page also claims power without losing control. The control meter reads Low, so be careful with that line too. ## Extreme Motion 2023 next to the Extreme Edge 2025 and the Bomba Speed The [Head Extreme Edge 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-edge-2025/) shares the Power Foam core, diamond shape and carbon and fiberglass face. Its power meter reads High against Medium here, and its comfort reads Medium against High here. It is also listed for beginner, intermediate and advanced players, where the Motion 2023 is listed for Advanced only. The listed weight is 350 to 375 g. The [Tecnifibre Bomba Speed](https://padell.io/rackets/tecnifibre/bomba-speed/) is the closest match on the meters: Low control, Medium power, High comfort, Low maneuverability, Low sweet spot. It uses a Soft Foam core and a 3K carbon face, balance is 265 mm, and weight is 360 g. If the weight spread of the Motion 2023 bothers you, that is the one to look at. ## Head size, weight system, handle: what you cannot check Head surface in cm2 is not published. A weight system is not published either. The handle is listed as Soft Butt Cap, and the shop gives no more detail. Shops list Paula Josemaría as the pro player for this line and describe the racket as attacking. Both are shop statements, not tests. Ask a shop to confirm the weight of the exact racket before you decide.
