Pick the Hack Advance if
- You want to spend less: it is £10 cheaper delivered today (£100 against £109.99).
- You want more control and a bigger sweet spot: a round head is more forgiving on off-centre hits.
Pick the Vertex Advance if
- You want more power: a diamond head puts the sweet spot higher, which helps smashes and volleys.
- You want choice of where to buy: 4 UK shops stock it, against 1.
