Buy the Adidas RX Series Light for genuine beginners; otherwise the Head Extreme EVO Woman saves £30 for the slightly improved.
Both are entry-tier rackets but they're scratching different itches. The Adidas RX Series Light at £95 leans into manoeuvrability — round head, low balance, soft EVA core — and is genuinely friendly for beginners who haven't yet figured out where the sweet spot lives. The lighter swing weight also helps anyone coming off a tennis arm injury.
The Head Extreme EVO Woman at £65 is the cheaper option, but it's a slightly stiffer teardrop with a smaller margin for error. Head's Power Foam gives more rebound on volleys, but you'll feel every off-centre contact in your wrist for the first month.
Buy the RX Series Light if you're brand new to padel and want a stress-free first season — it's worth the extra £30. Otherwise the Extreme EVO Woman is fine for someone who's already played a dozen sessions, knows they enjoy the sport, and wants to spend the difference on a Bullpadel overgrip pack.
