Which one suits you
Pick the adidas Match 2026 if
- You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
- You want the current model (2026).
- You want choice of where to buy: 3 UK shops stock it, against 1.
Pick the Head Evo Speed 2025 if
- You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.
- You want a lighter racket: about 18 g less.
Not a factor, because they are the same on both: price (within a few pounds today), feel (both soft), level (both beginner).
