@ texnation, They are fairly similar racquets. The Microgel will actually feel a lot softer and more plush, whereas the Youtek IG will be a little bit crisper and more powerful. If soft feel and comfort is a priority, go with the Microgel. If you want a little crisper feel and a little more pop, go with the Youtek IG. Andy, TW
You are right, the music was too distracting and loud in this review. I've tried bringing the music down a lot because I want it to compliment the piece and not overwhelm it, which I hope I'm doing nowadays. Please continue to give us feedback. Thanks. William, TW
@ Adam Stephenson, It would play nicely, giving you the control and spin that would complement this oversize racquet. If you play with it and feel like it's too stiff and dead feeling, go down a couple pounds in tension and it should fix that problem. Andy, TW
@ 7zero, This will give you a more generous and forgiving sweetspot, and also more power. It will help you get more consistent depth and power on your shots. Since you already like the feel of the Radical line, give it a try! Andy, TW
@ iawuisest, The Youtek IG version will be softer and more plush feeling compared to the Liquidmetal, which will feel a little crisper and stiffer. Andy, TW
@bennyboy51599 The new colors of the Propulse 3 just arrived. We are really enjoying the new Ascis shoes. Looks for our reviews to be posted soon. Chris, TW
@ mrearthlywood, Unfortunately, since it's a model that has been updated quite a few times already, we will not be reviewing that racquet. Sorry! Andy, TW
@KooKookid520, The Team is the better of the two. You should have no issues with maneuverability and the added stability will help you find more power and comfort. It offers a nice, control-oriented response that will encourage you to swing through the ball correctly. Chris, TW
I agree with Chris, the Radical Youtek IG and the last couple of generations lack mass, I played the Radical Original and the Twin Tubes back in the day, but the weight was totally different in those generations, maybe Head should consider a Radical PRO Youtek IG OS around 325 grs.
I have beens using a Wilson nRage OS for a year and a half now. And was going to upgrade to the BLX Six.One 95 16x20. But the 4 oz increase in weight kinda scares me to be honest, would you recommend the BLX Six.One Team or the BLX Six.One Lite? The Lite is closer to my weight now, but I wanted to go a little heavier.
I am about to purchase either 2 of the Microgel Radical OS, or the Youtek IG Radical OS. Was wondering if anyone at TW could compare the two? Specifications are nearly identical the big thing for me right now is justifying $190 over $90, is the "d3o" and "Innegra" technology on the IG much more advanced over the Microgel? 3.0 medium powered player, looking for a players OS to make good contact with increasingly tough opponents. Preferred string setup (Black Code 17G 55 lbs, NRG2 16G 58 lbs.)
I play Youtek IG radical S and despite liking its touch, control and feel I can not get deep balls to the opponent baseline - probably I do not generate enough power and I miss hit sweetspot too. Do you think this racquet could be solution? or you have any other stick suggestion? thanks
I have brought one of these to try os rackets my current racket is a prostaff 95 with Alu power mains and vs crosses at 56/54 I was wondering what tension I should put a full bed of Alu power in in this racket as I am used to mid and mid plus rackets

@ joshmunt9,
They are two different racquets. The OS has a 107 sq inch head and is heavier. The S is lighter with a 100 sq inch head.

We have reviewed all of the IG Prestiges and Radicals and they are all posted.

@tenniswarehouse I noticed after I put that! Very good review, I stil prefer the Youtek Prestige to the IG Prestige.

@Bradley Knight,
Try it at 57 lbs and see what you think.
Andy, TW
Or I was thinking of trying problend like agassi used
Can you do the Prestige IG review please?
would luxillon big banger power rough at mid-high tension be a good set up for this racket? what would your recommendations be?
When do you Share the racquet Review of the dunlop biomimetic s 8.0 lite?

Carly is also a great new reviewer!
Is this the same as the radical lite?
