[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Head Extreme One X 2025 is the heavy middle option in Head's 2025 Extreme family. A diamond attacking racket with a fixed 370 g weight, a soft Power Foam core and a 12K carbon face, aimed at advanced players. Its Medium-High balance at 270 mm is unusual in a diamond. The catch: no independent review of it exists yet. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 7 October 2026 Choose it if - you play an attacking game and want a heavy, stable diamond racket - you like a firm carbon face but prefer a soft, forgiving core underneath - you hit long and want the extra compactness a 370 g build gives smashes and volleys Skip it if - your elbow or shoulder already complains, and you need a lighter racket like the Head Extreme One 2025 at 350 g - you defend a lot at the back and want easier handling than a 370 g diamond gives - you prefer buying on the back of tested reviews, since none exist for this racket yet ## How it plays 7.1 **padell.io score 7.1** Play 7.5 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

Checked every night. The Head Extreme One X 2025 sits in the middle of Head's six-racket 2025 Extreme family. On paper it holds an unusual combination. A fixed 370 g weight, a soft Power Foam core and a 12K carbon face, all in one diamond. Shops position it for advanced players, with a listed player profile of "Power". One honest warning up front: no independent review of this racket exists yet, so every judgement below comes from the specifications. ## Six Extreme rackets in 2025, this one fixed at 370 g Head's 2025 Extreme range counts six rackets, all diamond shaped, and the differences between them are mostly in weight and face material. The [Extreme One 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-one-2025/) is the light one at 350 g. The [Extreme Motion 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-motion-2025/) sits at 360 g and is linked to Paula Josemaría. The [Extreme Team](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-team-2025/) uses fiberglass for more comfort, and the [Extreme Edge](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-edge-2025/) mixes carbon and fiberglass for a wider audience. The One X is fixed at 370 g, matching the [Extreme Pro](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-pro-2026/) 2025. Among the fixed-weight models that is the top, though the Extreme Edge can reach 375 g at its heaviest setting. So 370 g is heavy. On court that means stability: the racket does not twist when you block a hard smash, and your volleys stay compact. It also means your arm does more work, especially in fast net exchanges late in a match. The Extreme family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Edge**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-edge-2025/) [**One**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-one-2025/) **One X** [**Pro**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-pro-2025/) [**Team**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-team-2025/) [**Motion**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/extreme-motion-2025/) ## Power Foam under 12K carbon: soft core, firm face The core is Power Foam, a soft foam. Soft foam gives you a longer contact with the ball, some free depth on easy swings, and friendlier feedback on off-center hits. The face is 12K carbon in a carbon frame, at 38 mm thick, with a rough surface for grip on sliced and brushed balls. That pairing is deliberate on paper. A firm carbon face over a soft core is a common recipe. You get a racket that hits hard when you swing fast. And it avoids the harsh, board-like feel of a hard core. Head also names Auxetic 2.0 in its marketing, claiming it improves structural response. Treat that as a brand claim: there is no independent measurement to confirm what it does here. ## Medium-High balance where the siblings read High Here is the oddity. Shops list the balance at 270 mm and label it Medium-High. Every attacking sibling, the One, the Motion, the Pro, reads High. A 270 mm balance on a 370 g racket still leans toward the head, so smashes keep their weight behind the ball. But it sits slightly closer to even than the rest of the line. What you would notice, in theory, is a touch more stability in defense. Flat volleys should feel a bit calmer too. The cost is a little less raw lever on overheads. Sources can disagree on labels, and balance labels from shops are not always measured the same way. Still, the number 270 mm is concrete, and it matches the Extreme Pro's listed figure. ## Low maneuverability, Low sweet spot: what the diamond asks of your timing The profile marks maneuverability and sweet spot as Low. Both follow from the shape and the weight. A heavy diamond moves slowly through the air, so blocks and reaction volleys need to start early. And the hitting zone that gives full response is small, so a ball met late or near the frame dies on you. This is not a racket that rescues a sloppy technique. It is one that rewards a clean, early swing with pace you cannot get from a round racket. If your timing wobbles under pressure, the lighter Extreme One or the more comfortable Extreme Team will forgive more. ## No review anywhere: what the spec sheet can and cannot tell you Worth repeating, because it matters for your decision. At the time of writing, no tested review, video review or player thread on this exact racket could be found. Everything on this page is inference from specs and from how similar builds behave. Specs tell you weight, shape, materials and balance reliably. They cannot tell you how the face actually feels. Nor how the foam responds in cold weather, or whether the rough finish bites the ball the way you want. If you can demo it before buying, do. ## One X, Motion, Pro or adidas Arrow Hit Carbon: picking your attacking diamond Within Head, the choice comes down to weight and core. The Motion at 360 g is easier to swing and reads Medium on power, a calmer racket. The [Extreme Pro 2025](https://padell.io/compare/head-extreme-one-x-2025-vs-head-extreme-pro-2025/) matches the 370 g and the 270 mm balance but uses a plain foam core and is listed for professional players. The One X adds the 12K face and the Power Foam. Outside Head, the [adidas Arrow Hit Carbon](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/arrow-hit-carbon/) goes further toward raw attack. It carries a head-heavy label, a weight up to 375 g, and a control rating of Low where the One X holds Medium. If you want the most extreme option, that is it. If you want a heavy diamond that still gives something back on defense, the One X is the more rounded pick on paper.

The Extreme One is lighter at 350 g with a foam core, while the One X is fixed at 370 g with a Power Foam core. Same diamond shape, different build. **What level do you need for the Head Extreme One X 2025?** Shops list it for advanced players, and the specs support that. A 370 g diamond with a small sweet spot punishes late hits. You need a clean, early swing to get anything out of it. **How does it compare to the Head Extreme Pro 2025?** Both weigh 370 g with a 270 mm balance and a diamond shape. The Pro lists a plain foam core and is aimed at professional players; the One X pairs Power Foam with a 12K carbon face. On paper they sit very close to each other. **Is the Head Extreme One X 2025 arm friendly?** Partly. The soft Power Foam core absorbs impact well on paper, which helps. But 370 g is heavy, and that weight loads your elbow and shoulder over a long match. If your arm already complains, the 350 g Extreme One is the safer pick. **Is the Extreme One X 2025 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Fair price" compared with the rackets that play most alike.

That counts as heavy. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
