Head

HEAD Extreme Team (2025)

Editorial assessment · 2025 model

The Extreme Team 2025 suits a player who wants a diamond racket with a softer response than the Pro. HEAD lists 360 g and a 265 mm balance, with a fibreglass face and Power Foam. The face is smooth. We would compare it for an improving player who is comfortable with their preparation and wants to explore a more attacking setup.

Best for
Improving and experienced players who like a softer diamond racket for attacking play.
Main trade-off
Team reduces weight and softens the feel within the Extreme range, while keeping a diamond head and an attacking purpose.

Our assessment

Extreme Team or Radical Team?

Both use fibreglass faces and are listed at 360 g, but the comparison changes once you look beyond weight. Extreme Team has a diamond head, Power Foam and a 265 mm balance. Radical Team 2026 has a teardrop head, Control Foam and a 255 mm balance.

Try Extreme Team if you want to explore an attacking diamond. Start with Radical Team if you prefer weight closer to the handle and build points through placement. Both are classified as soft, so shape, balance and response are more useful deciding factors than the Team label.

Consider an alternative if: You specifically want a round head, a firm carbon face or raised surface texture.

Strengths

  • Its 360 g nominal weight is 10 g below Extreme Pro.
  • The fibreglass face and soft classification offer a different feel from the harder One models.
  • Its wrist cord can be replaced through the updated butt-cap system.

Drawbacks

  • The smooth face does not have Pro's Extreme Spin texture.
  • It remains a full-size diamond racket, so the soft feel does not guarantee an easy fit for a complete beginner.

FAQ

Is Extreme Team a soft racket?
Yes. HEAD classifies it as Soft and describes it as the most flexible model in the original Extreme 2025 range. It uses a fibreglass face and Power Foam. It still has a diamond head, so compare its handling rather than assuming softness makes it suitable for everyone.
Does Extreme Team have the same rough face as Extreme Pro?
No. Team has a smooth face; Pro uses Extreme Spin texture. Team's other main differences include its fibreglass face, lower nominal weight and lower balance. Choose between them for that overall setup, not surface texture alone.
