Buy the Indiga CTR if you're a true beginner, otherwise the RX Series once your technique is reliable enough to use carbon.
An intermediate against a beginner — only worth comparing if you're at the crossover point. The Bullpadel Indiga CTR at £60-80 is a round, low-balance, soft EVA fibreglass beginner racket. The Adidas RX Series at £100-110 is a teardrop intermediate with medium balance, EVA Soft Performance core, and a carbon face.
The £30-40 gap buys you a real materials upgrade — carbon over fibreglass changes the response on cleaner contacts noticeably. The teardrop also adds attacking capability the Indiga doesn't have. Both weigh similar (360-375g).
The mistake I see most: experienced tennis players buying the Indiga because "it's a beginner sport" and immediately outgrowing it. If you've got transferable racket-sport skills, the RX is the smarter starting point. Pure beginners — start with the Indiga.
