What players say
Reviewers agree the Extreme Pro 2024 (replacing the Extreme Tour) is a spin-first frame that's easy to whip through the ball and forgiving on off-center hits. Opinions split on feel: some testers liked the plusher, dampened response from the Auxetic 2.0 throat/yoke, while others found it too muted and disconnected, especially on touch shots and volleys. Control and stock swingweight were the recurring complaints, with several testers wanting more mass or a customized setup to keep the power and spin in check.
Best for
- Spin-heavy topspin players
- One-handed backhand players
- Players who are late or off-center on contact
- Intermediate to advanced baseliners
Pros
- Easy access to spin, especially with fast vertical swings
- Large, forgiving sweet spot that helps mishits
- Comfortable at impact thanks to Auxetic 2.0 dampening
- Improved feel and stability compared to the outgoing Extreme Tour
Cons
- Feel described by some as muted, numb, or 'plasticky', especially on volleys and touch shots
- Control is the weak point; several testers wanted more mass for precision
- Stock swingweight feels light/flimsy for a 'Pro' labeled frame and often needs customization
- Extra power and spin make it harder to flatten the ball into tight windows

I craved a bit more mass behind my shots for added control.
— Troy (Tennis Warehouse playtester), Web
Easy maneuverability and spin, which makes it fun to hit with a lot of topspin.

This racquet had a lot of power from the get-go.
