Head Extreme Team 2025

Most Head Extreme rackets in 2025 put carbon on the face. The Head Extreme Team 2025 is listed with fiberglass instead. That one material goes a long way towards explaining why a diamond-shaped racket reads High on both power and comfort.

No review of this racket exists yet, and it has not been played for this page. Everything below comes from the published specs, so read it as what the numbers suggest, not as court experience.

Fiberglass in a carbon family: the Team next to its Extreme siblings

Look at the 2025 Extreme range and the faces tell a story. The Extreme Motion and Extreme Pro use carbon. The Extreme One and the Extreme One X use 12K carbon. The Extreme Edge mixes carbon and fiberglass. The Team is the only one with a plain fiberglass face.

That sets it apart in feel, at least on paper. Fiberglass is the softer material, and the comfort meter reads High here, against Medium for the Edge, the Motion, the One and the One X. If you want the Extreme shape without the firmer carbon response, this is the one to look at.

Medium-High balance, diamond head, 360 g: where the power comes from

The power meter reads High, and the soft materials do not explain it. Both the Power Foam core and the fiberglass face pull power down. The diamond shape and the Medium-High balance push it up, and they win.

In practice that means a lean towards the top of the frame. More mass up there helps on smashes, bandejas and long swings. The balance is listed as a label only. The figure in millimetres is not published, so you cannot compare it with rackets that give one.

The weight is listed at 360 g, with the same figure as minimum and maximum. So there is no spread between samples to worry about. Thickness is 38 mm. Head size and handle details are not published.

Power Foam and Auxetic 2.0: what the soft build does for comfort

The core is Power Foam, and the frame is listed as carbon with Auxetic 2.0. Head's product page says Auxetic 2.0 gives greater sensitivity at impact, and that Power Foam is a reactive foam that adds power on fast shots. Those are the brand's claims, not measurements.

What the specs do support is the comfort reading. A soft core and a soft face both help against vibration. If your elbow or shoulder complains after long sessions, that is a point in this racket's favour. The catch is the balance. A racket with weight towards the head loads the arm on late swings, whatever the face is made of. A fresh overgrip and a calm, early preparation help with that.

Balance of power, comfort and control: Head's pitch against a Low control meter

The product page describes a racket that balances power, comfort and control for intermediate and advanced players. The first two fit the meters. The third does not.

Control reads Low. The soft core raises it, but the fiberglass face, the diamond shape and the high-leaning balance all lower it. Head also claims an expanded sweet spot through an improved hole pattern. The sweet spot meter still reads Low, as it does for every diamond in this family.

So take the pitch with care. This is an attacking racket first. If you hold points by placing balls and waiting, the specs point elsewhere.

Coello Team 2026 and Indiga Pwr 2024: the closest alternatives

The Head Coello Team 2026 is the closest neighbour. Both are 360 g, 38 mm, diamond shaped and listed for advanced players, both with a fiberglass face. The Coello Team has a Foam core and a High balance of 270 mm. The meters differ in one place: power reads Medium there and High here. If you want a little less raw power from a similar shape, the Coello Team is the natural step.

The Bullpadel Indiga Pwr 2024 has a similar profile on the meters: High power, High comfort, Low control. It uses a Soft EVA core with a fiberglass face. It is listed for beginner and intermediate level. Its weight range is 360 to 370 g. Check it if you want this kind of racket at a lower level.

For advanced players the choice is simpler. Pick the Team for power with a soft hit. Pick the Coello Team for a calmer power level. Pick a carbon sibling if you want control that reads Medium.

What the numbers cannot tell you yet

Here is what is missing. There is no tester review, no video review and no player feedback for this racket. Head size, balance in millimetres, handle and weight system are not published. The meters are calculated from materials, shape and balance. They are a good first filter, not a verdict from the court.

Try one before you commit if you can. A demo session will show whether the high-leaning balance suits your swing.
