Buy the RX Series for intermediate value; pick the Delta Pro 2026 if you've outgrown your current frame.
Sensible intermediate territory either way. The Adidas RX Series at £100-110 ticks the boxes you'd expect at this price: teardrop shape, medium balance, soft EVA performance core, carbon face. It's a versatile frame and our default recommendation for stepping-up players.
The Head Delta Pro 2026 at £160 is a more aggressive proposition, Head's Delta range tends to lean control-with-punch, and the all-levels marker masks what's actually a more performance-orientated frame. £50 more buys newer materials and Head's R&D.
My call: - RX Series if you want the best spec-to-price balance and don't need the latest model year. - Delta Pro 2026 if you're chasing the newer tech and you've outgrown a basic intermediate frame already.
For most UK club players hovering between intermediate and lower-advanced, the RX Series will do everything they need at £50 less. The Delta Pro starts making sense when you've genuinely identified a weakness in your current racket, not just because newer feels better.
