Adidas Arrow Hit for committed attacking players; Head Extreme EVO Woman for control-first players, juniors, and anyone managing elbow strain.
Don't let the woman-specific branding fool you on either of these. The Head Extreme EVO Woman at £65 is a lighter, lower-balance round frame designed primarily for control, manoeuvrability and reduced arm fatigue, which makes it a strong fit for any player under about 70kg or anyone returning from elbow trouble. The Adidas Arrow Hit at £120 is the more aggressive proposition, a hybrid teardrop with carbon faces and a higher balance that asks more of your wrist but pays back with cleaner exit speed on smashes and bandejas. The £55 premium is justifiable only if you're past the technical-foundation stage and ready for an attacking shape. Buy the Adidas Arrow Hit if you're a confirmed hitter ready to commit to attacking padel and weight-tolerant across long Sunday-morning sessions; otherwise go for the Head Extreme EVO Woman, which is genuinely better for newer players, juniors, and anyone whose elbow has started complaining after Tuesday-night drills at the local club.
