Which one suits you

Pick the Babolat Technical Viper 3.0 if

You want to spend less: it is £15 cheaper delivered today (£191.99 against £206.95).
You swing fast and want a crisper response: the core is firmer.
You want the more forgiving of the two: the brand pitches it at advanced players, so it asks less of your technique.

Pick the Head Extreme Pro if

You want a bit more give: the core is medium rather than hard, so it is less harsh on off-centre hits.
You already hit the ball cleanly: the brand pitches it at strong competitive players.

Not a factor, because they are the same on both: shape (both diamond), balance (both high), weight.
