Buy the Adidas RX if you play once or twice a week at club level, otherwise the Head Extreme Pro if you're competing seriously.
Different leagues. The Adidas RX at £100-110 is an intermediate teardrop with a carbon fibre face and EVA Soft Performance core — versatile, forgiving, and ideal for players still polishing their bandeja and bajada.
The Head Extreme Pro at £180-235 is a tournament-grade diamond. High balance, hard EVA core, 3K carbon fibre surface — built to drive smashes through opponents from the back of the court. It's used by pros for a reason.
Where people get this wrong:
Weight is identical at 360-375g but the balance shift changes everything about how it feels in your hand. Be honest about your level.
