Head Extreme EVO Padel Racket vs Head Extreme EVO Woman Padel Racket — Padel Rackets Comparison UK 2026

Our Take

Buy the standard EVO unless you specifically want a lighter swing weight or smaller grip — then the Woman version is the same racket, gentler.

These are essentially siblings within the same Head Extreme EVO family. The standard EVO at £55-75 is a 350-365g teardrop with medium balance, Power Foam core and fibreglass face — Head's stepping-stone option for beginners who've outgrown a pure round and want a touch more attacking shape.

The EVO Woman at £65 is the women-spec colourway, typically lighter at the top end of the swing weight range and tuned for slightly smaller hands. The internals and shape philosophy are basically the same.

Don't overthink this one:

If you find the standard EVO heavy in the head after a long match, the Woman version will be friendlier on the wrist and shoulder.
If you're a male player with average-size hands and grip strength, the standard EVO is the default choice and you don't need to worry about the Woman badge.

Both share the same teardrop shape that adds a bit of attacking zip versus a round, at the cost of being slightly less forgiving on off-centre contact. Buy whichever feels right in the hand — there's no wrong answer here.
