Buy the Head Extreme EVO Woman if budget is the priority; otherwise the Adidas RX Series is the smarter long-term spend.
A genuine value-vs-performance question for women players stepping up.
The Head Extreme EVO Woman at £65 is built around lighter swing weights and a softer feel. The EVO line generally uses a Power Foam core and fibreglass face — easy to swing, forgiving, but limited at higher levels.
The Adidas RX Series at £100-110 is the proper intermediate upgrade. 360-375g teardrop, medium balance, EVA Soft Performance core and a carbon fibre face. That carbon surface is the headline — it bites the ball for spin in a way fibreglass simply can't, and the EVA core gives you a more responsive feel on hard hits.
If you're brand new and unsure if padel sticks, the Head EVO Woman saves you £40-45. But if you've already played a season and want a racket you won't outgrow, the RX Series is the right buy. The carbon face alone justifies the gap.
Don't buy the Head if you're already past beginner — you'll be shopping again in six months.
