What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
18K packs 18,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 12,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Extreme's 12K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the AT10, 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 Extreme is about 12 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The AT10 puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Extreme, for quick hands
Where each one balances, measured from the end of the handle. The lower the point, the more of the weight sits in your hand: the AT10 at 265 mm, the Extreme at 270 mm.
Edge: the AT10, for your arm
* 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.
