Buy the standard RX for more punch; pick the RX Light if your arm needs a break or you live at the net.
Two Adidas options separated by £5-15 and a chunk of swing weight. The standard RX Series at £100-110 is the intermediate's friend — 360-375g, teardrop, medium balance, EVA Soft Performance core, carbon face. Genuinely versatile and well-made for the price.
The RX Series Light at £95 is the same DNA in a lower-weight chassis. Adidas typically shaves 10-20g off the head to make it quicker through the air, at some cost in punch on the smash.
Who should buy what:
The carbon face on the standard RX is a noticeable upgrade over fibreglass entry options — it gives you more spin grip and a crisper response. Both sit at 38mm thickness, so feel through the ball is similar; the deciding factor is honestly whether your arm wants the extra grams.
