I suggest you demo a variety of rackets before you buy one. Why the new radicals? Based on your previous racket I believe the Youtek Prestige Pro (non IG) would be closer in weight than the new IG Radicals. With so many great frames out there nowadays getting recommendations are pretty subjective. The fun part shopping for a new stick is test driving them! FYI, I've been playing tennis my whole life and still in search of the perfect setup (strings included). Good Luck!
Hi! Nice video! And they playing WAY different! Do you know where to get the TGKs grommets? I have a pair and would like to have backup grommmets (actually I'm needing one right now). Thank you Vini
and if I put some silicone inside and lead it at the hoop? Other than the beam section, the retail will be close to the tgk? (i assume the material of the tgk is 100% graphite? and its flex rating (RA)? is the same as the retail version?
well one is an 18x20 and one is 16x19. The 16x19 weighs more and has a much higher swingweight. Which means more depth and more spin on shots, including power obviously. The 18x20 is more control oriented. The Pro stock racquets will always be better but at an expense of being heavier and less maneuverable.
Head fooled us all. The retail garbage they ve been selling for years. I recently got a pro stock radical which is much heavier than the retail and it played nicely.
Too few people are aware of these marketing lies. Your video will open their eyes to the truth about the tennis racquets. Great job!
I would like to hear about a play test of pro stock rackets and a comparison against retail racquets.
TGK231.3 is Marin Cilic's racquet
@pauken0022 there different racket, meaning different weights, string patterns etc. therefore yes they will
A few key points missing in your video is the grip shape, custom buttcap, the balance and swing weight.
I know someone who insists only on purchasing and playing with pro stocks.

is there any difference in the throat shape? where the throat meets the handle i mean? Great video by the way!!
Serban Tudor Yes the pro stock looks a little more rounded at the throat and a bit more wider where the tubes separate

Any chance you still have the 231.1?
Hello is the 231.3 made in Austria?
Just want to point out that 25/24 mean 25KG main, 24 KG cross, not pound.
He was converting it to pounds for those in the USA that aren't using metric. Don't be weird.
How you get your hands on These racquets?
I have some Yonex pro stock racquets. They are more like baseball bats then tennisracquets in a good way.
do the rackets play significantly different?
well one is an 18x20 and one is 16x19. The 16x19 weighs more and has a much higher swingweight. Which means more depth and more spin on shots, including power obviously.

I have a HEAD radical pro stock. I am a pretty good player so it is worth it for me to spend $399 on a racquet.
Sad they never sold the 231 version of radical. The new ones really suck
