Head Extreme One - the revolution
Posted by Alejandro Orozco on 
Friends of Padel Island , today we're going to talk about the Head Extreme One 2023 padel racket that has just been released and which had created so much expectation.
It's the first paddle on the market with a single hole and the smallest possible diameter, just 9 millimeters. And yes, it's legal and approved for official competitions; the FIP requires it to have at least one hole.
It is a diamond-shaped racket, with a 12K carbon surface, Auxetic technology, a glossy and matte finish, a soft cap, a 27 balance and... here comes the second feature that catches the eye, a weight of only 345 grams.
All of this makes the Head Extreme One a super manageable racket, with a large sweet spot, fast and very durable (we avoid the dreaded racket breakages due to holes).
But how does it perform on the track?
Having tried it, I think it's a very easy-to-move racket, fast, with a medium feel; not too hard but rigid. It performs very well at the back of the court, is very comfortable, and has good ball output, allowing for excellent defense from the baseline.
At the net, its light weight makes it incredibly easy to maneuver, and its textured surface compensates for the lack of holes and enhances spin. For powerful smashes, it might lack a bit of power, but its excellent acceleration more than makes up for it. Its lightness allows for faster arm movement during smashes, resulting in high-speed ball impact.
Aesthetically it is spectacular and, due to its low weight, I think it is a highly recommended racket for both male and female players.
It is definitely an ideal racket for fast players, for the kind of padel that is currently being played and watched on the circuit.
I loved it, I felt very comfortable with it from the first moment and I think it's going to be a huge success.
At Padel Island we have this racket at the best price on the market, don't hesitate and dare to enjoy one of the most anticipated and technologically advanced rackets on the market.
