Extreme EVO Woman suits early-improvers wanting reach; Rocket Ultra at £50 is the safer absolute-beginner choice.
Sub-£70 padel rackets are mostly about not making expensive mistakes, and these are two safer bets than most. The Dunlop Rocket Ultra at £50 is a round-shape entry frame with EVA Soft foam, the kind of forgiving tool you hand to a complete beginner without worrying about them snapping the frame on a wall recovery. The Head Extreme EVO Woman at £65 is slightly lighter overall and shaped more like a teardrop, which suits players already past the absolute basics and looking for a touch more reach on the smash with a marginally higher balance point. £15 doesn't sound like much but it's a 30% uplift at this price tier, and you can feel the difference in swing weight straight away. Buy the Head Extreme EVO Woman if you've played a few sessions and know you want some attacking edge; otherwise go for the Dunlop Rocket Ultra, which is the safer pick for genuine beginners or anyone unsure they'll stick with the sport past the trial phase.
