Diamond2025Ranked #4 in Best of 2025
Diamond that handles like a rounder shape, with easy overhead power; head-heavy balance irks some.
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

MixedSwitching from the Gravity Pro 2024, the Extreme Motion 2025 took time to tune (they removed the protector to lower the high balance) but gives better smashes and pop-outs, sharper slice volleys from the rough dot surface and better-controlled blocks; downsides are digging out low balls, less consistent lobs and missed sweet spots on rushed volleys.

MixedA beginner-to-intermediate who liked the feel, but the head-heavy balance gave them arm pain, so they moved to a medium-balance racket.

MixedReally likes the Extreme Motion 2025, but finds it a bit head-heavy: after playing a couple of days in a row they feel pain in the arm and shoulder.
Players describe a diamond that handles like a rounder shape, with easy power on overheads, a dry feel and good manoeuvrability. Many find it kind to the arm and fairly forgiving. The head-heavy balance bothers some, and a few struggle with lobs and low balls or report cracking.
