Buy the Head Extreme Pro if you're an advanced attacker, otherwise the Nox Equation WPT is the wiser intermediate-to-advanced pick.
These two illustrate how much you can save by stepping one rung down. The Extreme Pro (£180-235, 360-375g, diamond, hard EVA, 3K carbon) is full advanced-tour spec. The Equation WPT at £160 is a more neutral all-rounder from Nox at a meaningfully friendlier price.
Things to weigh:
If you're a genuinely advanced player who wins points at the net and has the technique to use a hard EVA diamond without your elbow protesting, the Extreme Pro is in another category. For most strong intermediates and all-court advanced players, the Equation WPT does 85% of the job for noticeably less money. Don't buy the Head as a stretch purchase. It'll punish your weaknesses, not paper over them.
