What is different
Face and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
12K packs 12,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 3,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Technical's 3K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Extreme, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
The same weight, 370 g.
No edge either way
The same balance point, 270 mm from the end of the handle.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
