The Head Extreme Pro is the power flagship of Head’s Extreme line — a ~370g diamond with a Hybrid Woven face, Power Foam core and Auxetic construction, the racket Arturo Coello rode to world No. 1 before his signature Coello Pro line.
The Extreme Pro sits at the top of Head’s attacking Extreme range. Endorsed by Arturo Coello through the 2023 and 2024 seasons, it pairs a head-heavy diamond shape with Head’s Auxetic construction — a frame design that lets the carbon fibres expand and contract on impact for sharp energy feedback. It’s a pure power tool for advanced players.

Our review of the Head Extreme Pro
The Extreme Pro is a serious power weapon. The head-heavy diamond and Power Foam core deliver explosive smashing pace, and Head’s Auxetic construction gives a sharp, lively feedback at impact that advanced players love. The Hybrid Woven face adds spin grip and a touch more comfort than a full-carbon layup.
It’s demanding, as a 370g diamond should be — the sweet spot is high and unforgiving, so it punishes mishits and rewards clean technique. For an advanced attacker (or a Coello fan), it’s one of the most explosive rackets Head has made.
Pros
- Explosive smashing power
- Auxetic feedback at impact
- Hybrid Woven adds spin and comfort
- Coello pedigree
Cons
- Demanding, high sweet spot
- Heavy and head-heavy
- Advanced players only
Who is the Head Extreme Pro for?
The Extreme Pro is for advanced, aggressive players who finish at the net and want pro-level power — and for fans of Arturo Coello. Beginners and control players should look at the Head Flash or Gravity Pro instead.
How the Head Extreme Pro plays
On smashes it’s elite — the head-heavy diamond and Power Foam deliver brutal put-away pace.
On control and defence it asks for clean contact; the high sweet spot is unforgiving under pressure.
Head Extreme Pro vs the alternatives
It’s the power counterpart to the control-focused Head Gravity Pro, and sits alongside Head’s current flagship, the Coello Pro (Coello’s signature successor to this very racket). Against the budget Evo Extreme it’s a far more powerful, advanced frame.
Is the Head Extreme Pro worth it?
For an advanced attacker who wants a proven, pro-level power diamond, the Extreme Pro is well worth it — especially now it sits a notch below the newest Coello Pro on price. It’s overkill for anyone still developing their technique.
Conclusion
The Head Extreme Pro is a genuine pro power diamond — explosive on the smash, with Auxetic feedback and a Hybrid Woven face that give it bite and spin. It’s strictly an advanced racket, demanding clean technique to find the high sweet spot, but for an aggressive net player or a Coello fan it’s a brilliant, hard-hitting weapon.
