Head rolls out a very solid performance racquet with a very solid graphic pack….again!

The Radical MP is at the top of the list of performance racquets, and this presentation takes it to the top of the list of cool-looking racquets as well.

Take a look and tell me this isn’t one of the neatest racquets ever!

Head Radical MP Plam Tree Crew.   Due to the special edition nature of this racquet, demos are not available; however, the current Radical MP demo is available.  We have only four (4) left.

Head Auxetic 2 Radical MP 2025

Feb 22

Posted by

The Head Radical MP has always been a popular racquet for many reasons, and we believe this series will be no different and maybe a little more popular…who doesn’t like Orange?

This is a true performance racquet for the unafraid!

You will be noticed when you step onto the court with this year’s model.  Be prepared!

Head Radical MP 202

The MP (mid-plus) model is a 98-square-inch head racquet with a very reasonable stiffness. It provides considerable control with as much power as needed.

As you look at the following specifications, you may notice the swing weight of 310kg/cm^2.  At first, it may seem a little timid.   The good news is that the property can be changed to suit your current or next-level game.

This racquet can stay with you for as long as you want. It won’t need to be changed as your game changes.

Head Radical MP 2023

Feb 4

Posted by

You have seen the pretty pictures; now see the specs of this new Radical series!

We are starting our property review with the Head Radical MP 2023.  The MP version will probably be the most popular due to the very lovely weight and “player” style head size of 98 inches!

Head Radical MP 2023

The Auxetic component should contribute to a comfortable but aggressive racquet.

As you look at the following specifications you may notice the addition of some “numbers”, specifically “beam width”.  

We have been taking this number for many years but now believe it is time to expose it to you, the readers.  

Briefly, the beam height-to-width ratio contributes to in-plane stiffness which is important for consistent string bed stiffness (SBS).

Head…just when you thought it couldn’t get any better

Feb 1

Posted by

Well, we think it just got better!

The Head Radical has always been one of the best performance racquets available and doesn’t require much in the way of annual changes!

You can order yours now for the release date of February 9, 2023

We think this new group is right on target!  Adding Auxetic in the throat brings this series into the overall success of the Auxetic component!

We will be doing full reviews very soon, but in the meantime, take a look at these new Radicals!

The Team is the new “S” in the Radical Series!  Based on our initial testing, we think this model has a trick up its sleeve!
