Buy the Extreme EVO if you're a beginner, otherwise the Extreme Pro only when you're a confirmed advanced player.
Same family, completely different rackets. The Extreme EVO at £55-75 is a beginner teardrop with Power Foam core and fibreglass surface — a stepping-stone racket designed to handle imperfect technique. The Extreme Pro at £180-235 is a high-balance diamond with Hard EVA and 3K carbon — built for players who hit the ball cleanly nine times out of ten.
The shape carries over (loosely) but the materials and balance are worlds apart. The EVO's Power Foam is forgiving and lively; the Pro's Hard EVA is rigid and unforgiving. The EVO weighs 350-365g; the Pro pushes towards 375g with a higher balance, so it feels heavier still in the head.
This isn't an either/or choice for one player at one time. The EVO is what you start on; the Pro is what you graduate to after a year or two of solid play. Skipping the middle step (intermediate carbon rackets like the RX or Viper) is the most common mistake I see in UK club shops.
