Buy the Head Extreme Pro for brand reliability; the Siux Diablo if you want something different at similar power.
Two top-tier rackets that compete on similar money. The Head Extreme Pro at £180-235 is a pro-spec diamond: 360-375g, high balance, hard EVA, 3K carbon. You're getting tour-grade power and spin, but with the warning attached, it's punishing without sound technique.
The Siux Diablo Revolution at £200 is the cult-favourite alternative. Siux fly under the radar in the UK but they make properly spec'd kit, and the Diablo line has built a reputation among advanced players who want something distinctive without paying Head or Adidas brand tax.
My call: - Head Extreme Pro if you want the safer, well-supported brand and you'll hunt out the £180 deals (they exist). - Siux Diablo Revolution if you fancy something off-piste and you've handled aggressive frames before.
At similar money I'd lean Head for warranty and resale, Siux for character. Both demand a clean strike, so neither is a step-up racket. Pick on personality.
