Buy the Head Extreme EVO if you're a beginner stepping up, otherwise the Nox AT10 Genius if you're confidently advanced.
Massive jump in price and ambition between these two. The Head Extreme EVO at £55-75 is a beginner teardrop with a Power Foam core and fibreglass surface. Lightweight at 350-365g, accessible, and a sensible first attacking-shaped racket if you've outgrown a round.
The Nox AT10 Genius 12K at £160 is the signature racket of world number one Agustin Tapia. Diamond shape, high balance, HR3 core, 12K carbon fibre — engineered for advanced players who want maximum spin and aggressive winners.
A few honest points:
Buying the AT10 as your first attacking racket because it looks elite is the classic upgrade trap. Earn the racket with court time first, then move up. Tapia's racket won't make you Tapia.
