Diablo Revolution for advanced hitters — its premium is now trivial; Air Viper Woman for serious club players who value forgiveness.
These two used to sit a couple of price tiers apart; now only £15 separates them — £123 for the Babolat, £138 for the Siux. The Babolat Air Viper Woman remains the more accessible buy in character: teardrop shape, EVA Black core, rough textured surface, and a calibrated lighter weight aimed at women progressing past their first racket and into proper club competition. The Siux Diablo Revolution is harder, head-heavier, and built around a stiffer carbon layup with a diamond bias for hitters who already finish points. The Diablo used to carry a price that told you to be sure before buying; the cost barrier has gone, but the technical one hasn't — you should still know what shape suits you and what your wrist can tolerate before picking it. Buy the Siux Diablo Revolution if you're a confident attacking player who wants something built for punishment — the extra £15 is nothing at this level. Otherwise go for the Babolat Air Viper Woman: more forgiving on the elbow, easier to manoeuvre at the net, and still the racket that fits the wider range of club players.
