HEAD EXTREME 135 Squash Racquet

The HEAD Extreme 135 is a versatile, high-durability squash racket specifically designed for intermediate and competitive club players who want an all-round weapon.

Sitting in the sweet spot of HEAD’s Extreme teardrop range, it balances the line between the ultra-light Extreme 120 and the heavier Extreme 145. It is engineered for the tactical player who is equally comfortable crashing heavy drives from the back corners or stepping up to cut off fast volleys on the T.

Core Performance Description

1. The Club All-Rounder Mass: Carrying an unstrung frame weight of 135 grams, this racket offers the perfect middle ground for developing players. It provides enough physical substance to generate effortless, natural "plow-through" depth on your baseline lengths, yet stays nimble enough to avoid lagging during high-tempo rallies.
2. Teardrop Power with Control: Built with an aerodynamic, open-throat teardrop geometry. By eliminating the classic horizontal bridge, the vertical main strings are noticeably longer, which expands the sweet spot and gives you a springy energy return. This raw velocity is kept completely predictable thanks to a slightly tapered 19.5–21.5mm beam profile that maintains great structural stability.
3. Even to Slight Head-Heavy Momentum: Unlike the head-light setups found in HEAD’s Speed series, the Extreme 135 features an even to slightly head-heavy balance. This distribution helps keep the racket head incredibly steady through your hitting arc, making it highly forgiving and ensuring you maintain a clean launch angle even on off-center hits.
4. The Powerholes 12x17 Pattern: The frame utilizes an open 12 x 17 string pattern featuring HEAD’s Powerholes grommet system. The enlarged grommets allow the strings to move more freely upon impact, creating a forgiving feel and boosting ball acceleration without requiring maximum physical effort.

Key Technologies

1. Innegra Technology: High-performance, ultra-tough hybrid composite fibers are woven directly into the frame’s carbon structure. Innegra serves as an excellent internal shock absorber, reducing harsh ball impact vibrations by up to 17% to maximize control, protect your arm, and drastically increase frame durability against wall scrapes.
2. Slim Shaft Construction: The shaft features a modified thin, aerodynamic profile that slices cleanly through the air, optimizing power transfer and maximizing swing speed.

Summary: The HEAD Extreme 135 is a reliable, rock-solid choice for intermediate club players. By blending an ultra-durable Innegra hybrid-carbon build with an explosive teardrop shape and an even balance, it eliminates the guesswork from your swing, providing easy baseline depth and dependable shock absorption for an all-court game.
