Technical Viper rewards the technically sound attacker; Extreme EVO Woman is the safer, friendlier and far cheaper start.
A proper apples-and-oranges comparison — £140 against £65, intermediate diamond against an all-skills frame. The Babolat Technical Viper is 360-375g with a diamond head, Black EVA core and carbon fibre at 38mm. That diamond shape is the key spec: weight is pushed up the head, so smashes feel terrific but mishits bite back. Babolat lean into responsive feel and power-control balance for developing players who already strike cleanly.
The Head Extreme EVO Woman is half the price and aimed at all comers, which usually means a softer, easier frame to learn on.
Diamond-shaped frames flatter players who already hit the middle. If you're not there yet, the Head saves you £75 and your elbow.
