Buy the Head Flash 2.0 if you're starting out, otherwise the Arrow Hit suits players ready to step up.
The Arrow Hit at £120 is Adidas's all-court intermediate option. The Head Flash 2.0 at £60-70 is a benchmark beginner racket — round, low balance, soft EVA, fibreglass face, 355-365g.
The honest assessment:
If you're new to padel, the Flash 2.0 is one of the best £60-70 rackets you can buy. It does exactly what a beginner racket should: forgive your mistakes while you learn. If you've played a few months and want something with more all-court range, the Arrow Hit is the upgrade — but most beginners won't feel the difference yet.
