The Radical Pro represents the pinnacle of a player’s racquet. So, this review is based on our desire to see how much power we can squeeze out of it through string bed stiffness.
The following specifications explain why this racquet’s natural properties make it a powerhouse.
This 98-square-inch racquet packs a powerful 339-gram weight with a very easy-to-handle 331 swing weight!
With this racquet, you will not be pushed around by big hitters.
As tested, this racquet has a stiffness rating of 66, which is moderately high. However, with an effective stiffness of 27.1, it is well within the range of any player who can benefit from the other performance factors.
As you can tell from the picture, the racquet is ORANGE. These pictures are the skills of Bobby Diviliansky, a high school student who just happened to stop at the World Headquarters! His brother Ryan is a client, so he had a reason to be here.
