Buy the Flash 2.0 for the absolute first racket; pick the Extreme EVO Woman once you're starting to actually swing through the ball.
Two Head budget options that look interchangeable on a shelf but behave quite differently. The Flash 2.0 at £60-70 is a true beginner stick — round shape, low balance, soft EVA core, fibreglass face, 355-365g. Massive sweet spot, very forgiving, easy to swing for hours.
The Extreme EVO Woman at £65 sits in the Extreme family, which historically leans into the teardrop shape with a slightly higher balance for a touch more attacking pop. It's marketed at women but really it's a women-spec lighter colourway of the EVO line — you don't need to be female-identifying to play it.
My take:
Neither is a forever racket. Both are honest at the price.
