HEAD Extreme Team 2026 – Lightweight Tennis Racket with a Larger Sweet Spot
The HEAD Extreme Team 2026 is a tennis racket designed for recreational players, club players and juniors looking for a lightweight frame with excellent spin potential and easy maneuverability. With a 265 g unstrung weight, a 105 sq.in. head size and an open 16x19 string pattern, the racket accelerates easily and helps players generate pace and spin with less effort.
The racket comes factory-strung, but you can also upgrade to a custom string that matches your playing style and preferences—simply make your selection above.
The lighter weight makes the racket quicker through the air while reducing strain on the arm and shoulder. The 105 sq.in. head size provides a large sweet spot and a good balance between control and forgiveness on off-center shots.
The HEAD Extreme Team 2026 features Auxetic 2.0, which enhances ball feel and provides clearer feedback at impact. This construction delivers consistent response and improved feel on every shot.
The racket also incorporates Spin Grommets, where enlarged grommet holes allow the strings to move more freely. This improves the snapback effect, making it easier to generate spin. Combined with Spin Shaft, which increases the torsional stability of the throat, the racket delivers greater stability despite its lighter weight.
