What is your favorite generation of Radical?
this one actually
@@userdjee834 this one was a pleasant surprise! what do you like about it?
@@CourtsideSportsLTD head are finally merging all of the different qualities their racquets have - together, first seen with gravity then the rest of the 360+ generation. before there was always something missing. 360+ are all very good racquets, some are really excellent like the speed mp. I would still like to see a 16x19 or 16x20 speed pro, but these radicals are 16x19 which is great, with enough SW.
Liquidmetal Radical
Great review on 2021 Radicals! I currently use the 2019 Radical Pro and although it hits well and its solid, I found its been too jarring on the arm after hard play. Just tested the the 2021 Radical MP vs Yonex Ezone 98. They are very similar in spec, however the swing weight is 326 on Radical MP and only 317 on Ezone. All things being similar, the heavier swing weight on the Radical MP feels more stable and gives great plow thru on ground strokes and serves.
Dear Beckett, Thanks for all you do. You're an excellent and organized racquet reviewer. Your thorough testing and rating system make your reviews easy to understand and more useful when making racquet choice decisions. OK, Beckett, here's the BIG 2020 into 2021 question, for me: I'm looking for a control oriented racquet, but there are so many good ones in that category over the last 12 months. So far, my fave is the 360+ Prestige MP, but I haven't tested all the competitors with very similar specs and I want to ask you how the competitors stack up against the Prestige MP and ask you which one of the entire bunch would you recommend for a control-oriented racquet seeker? The other racquets are: 360+ Prestige Tour, Gravity Tour, 360+ Speed Pro, Yonex Vcore Pro 97 HD, and the Prince Phantom Pro 100 18x20. It's a tough choice. All have relatively low RA and relatively thin beams. The Yonex is a 97 head, the Prestige Tour 99, the Gravity Tour, Speed and Phantom are 100. All are 18x20, except the Prestige Tour that is 18x19 (close enough). So....what do you think?
Hi James, I really appreciate you kind words! They help keep me motivated. I haven't tried all of the racquets you mentioned, like the Prince or the Gravity Tour. From the way I perceive a truly control oriented racquet, the only ones on your list are the Phantom, the Prestige MP and the Vcore Pro HD. Of those, I have only tried the latter two, and I prefered the Prestige. This is because if swung more manueverably which made want to swing faster and push the racquets limits. I know it's not on your short list due to the string pattern, but I believe the current Vcore 95 is the best control racquet out there. I'm excited for the new one. The 16x20 pattern has a very low and consistent launch angle.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD can you also mention a bit about serving and serve return in future videos?
@@K4R3N YES!
Be fantastic to also review the Head Instinct Line as this was on Heads list of tour rotation just a year ago and Boom tooks its place. but its still updates with the tech atleast until 360+
Love it when Beckett gets a little bit excited
You should test the vcore pro 310 if you haven't already!
Great frame for precise shots, much better than the head radical pro, the speed and even the new pure strike, I have tested.
(I'm struggling to play with head racquets, so therefore I'm biased)
Only little downside is the lack of free power, but if you can generate it on your own, it's my choice to go.
You make good content keep it up!
Thanks for the support! The Vcore Pro line is awesome but I need more free power on the court these days.
My first racket was the Microgel Radical MP. Since moved on but always get excited when a new one comes out. Definitely looks like this one won't disappoint.
It definitely quite different than the Microgel (a modern classic imo), but worth checking out for sure
Thanks for the video. I just bought an MP. So far so good. Also, project your voice , my guy. You’re on TH-cam!
Agree!
Great review and feedback. Would love to see Radical Pro vs. Ezone 98 Tour, and Radical MP vs. Ezone 98.
Sadly I'm not sure I'll be able to make this happen. I work a full time job during the week and do these videos on the side.
The Radicals feel like they have more power to me, and a more responsive feel. EZones are more muted and solid feeling. The Ezone 98 swings faster than the Radical MP. The Radical Pro swing faster than the Ezone Tour, but both feel like they have a lot of weight in the throat. I like in them in the following order: Ezone 98, Radical Pro, Radical MP, Ezone Tour. This may seem weird but something about the Ezone Tour really slowed down my strokes and I couldn't gel with the racquet. This will vary, as some people LOVE the EZONE Tour
Favorite recent Radical was the very first generation of Graphene. Ever since that one, the line has gone steadily downhill (NXT, Touch, 360) with a lack of everything -- mostly too stiff and no feel. This is the first one that I am simply refusing to get sucker punched again. Not falling for it. The YouTek Radical Pro was also pretty great with tons of plow and power. I wish Head luck trying to revive this line, but I am sticking to what I've got.
I can totally understand your hesitations toward the new racquet. It seems like Head still has some work to do when it comes to gaining back trust of some of the classic Head fans. My dad plays with the YouTek Radical Pro. It's too bad he lives a few hours away, otherwise I could have delivered a solid comparison.
Really great review of the 2021 Radical Pro and MP. Do you have a review of the 2019 Radical models (Grey and Red) versions?
Radical pro 2021 vs pro staff v13, Which is your favourite raquet of this two?? differences,spin,power,feel and control etc...i'm in doubt. Thanks for your videos 😉
I prefer the Radical Pro. I found it to have quite a bit more power, which is something I need in my game right now. I felt amazing stepping into the court with the PS97, but playing on clay, I really need that forgiveness when I'm playing deep in the court. Neither had amazing spin, but they weren't bad either. I didn't feel forced to flatten my shots out with either, and was comfortable playing my normal game with both. I found the PS97 to be more maneuverable, which I liked if I was playing someone worse than me, but I would have liked better plow through against heavy hitters. I would say, for my game, the Radical Pro is better for winning matches, but the PS97 is better for having fun on court.
This was a great rundown of the radicals. I’m looking to move from my blade v7 16x19 to something with more pop and easier to swing. Thinking of trying the latest radical mp and the extreme tour. Would you recommend either? Or maybe something else? Thanks
Beckett, great reviews….How would you compare the new Radical mp to the new Extreme Tour? And which one do you prefer?
The Extreme Tour offers more control and consistency off the string bed. I think that it has better feel too, a little bit crisper with better dwell time and a bit more solid feeling,. The Radical MP has more power and stability, although there were times I would miss long that I wouldn't miss with other racquet. Spin on the Extreme is better. I prefer the Extreme as it is my racquet of choice.
I’m considering upgrading to either the new Radical MP or Speed MP (especially with the new black pj coming).
Previously used the Ezone 98, for me it was just too inconsistent and muted, too head light and a bit hard to manouver. I was quite disappointed by it, for a 305g it wasn’t as stable as I had hoped, no juice behind it imo. I had to add some weight because the hoop vibrated so much, but then it just became so hard and unrewarding to play with.
So recently I’ve been playing with the Pro Staff 97L, somehow it felt so stable for its weight I was surprised. I could swing out and didn’t feel fatiqued at all. Of course at 290g and a 97 head, sometimes I found myself swinging too fast, serve lacks pop and put-away power, hard to handle heavy topspin balls.
So on paper the new Radical seems to fit me better, I prefer being aggressive from the baseline and have a modern topspin vertical swing path. From other reviews I heard the Radical isn’t very forgiving, a bit worried it’s gonna end up like the Ezone 98. As for the Speed MP, I worry I will have maybe too much power and launch the ball too high and long (especially on approach shots); and the 100 headsize is sluggish through the air. Guess it’s a give and take in the end. Should I go all in with my strength / playstyle (aggresive baseliner) and go for the Speed MP?
I generally agree with choosing racquets that amplify your strengths, however given your needs on court I'm leaning Radical. It offers a less muted feedback and feels very connected. I didn't find the Radical to be very demanding on court. There's a lot more plowthrough available here than with an EZone 98. My issue with the Speed is the muted feel and the open string pattern can lead to launchy balls. A lot of the racquets in Head's line are quite similar and its becoming tough to choose between them.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD Did you find the Radical’s power and plow to be dramatic less than the Speed? I assume the Speed is better at handling pace and allowing you to hit through more? And the Radical I guess has more weight in the head than the Ezone 98? Also is the launch angle of the Speed dramatically higher than the Radical?
My grip I think is somewhere bettwen Semi and Full Western, sometimes I brush the ball too much like you said in the video Serve and volley is my weakest skill so I need some help there tbh. A bit worried about the thinner beam and smaller 98 headsize, when I’m not 100% it’s gonna be a little hard to manouver, but then again I defnitely don’t like a muted feel, hated Yonex’s VDM. With the Speed did you find your groundstrokes to have more kick and easier to create angles. I did try the Clash 100 and man that was an uncontrollable rocket launcher with no feel at all, also used the Prince tour 100T at that pattern was too open as well. I feel like I’m missing a but of that “Oomph” in my game but at the same time wanna be able to hit out and not spraying balls everywhere, man it’s hard to pick!
@@cd8145 Im not going to be able to answer your questions with complete accuracy, because I didn't hit the Speed and Radical back to back. I hit the Radical against the Pro and my personal Vcore 95.
It's kinda hard to tell on video (especially because I haven't been playing a lot of tennis lately) but my opponent is one of the biggest hitters I have ever played with. He hits it extremely hard and deep with lots of height over the net. Most racquets under 315g unstrung cannot hold up to this type of hitting, but the Radical MP could. The Ultra 100 also could. Racquets that can't are the Prestige Tour, older Aero Pro Drives, the Prostaff 97 and even my customized Vcore 95 struggles.
I did find the launch angle of the Radical to be less erratic than the Speed, but it's hard to be very specific when I haven't hit them back to back.
I think the Ultra 100 may be worth looking into for you as well. It has the most controllable launch angle of any powerful 100 on the market, although it is a bit stiff.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD First off all thanks for the very thorough replies, really appreciate them! Realy surprised to hear that the Radical, relatively thin beam and smaller headsize is that stable compared to the other rackets you mentioned that on paper should be more stable. Was your Mp perhaps over spec or this version just has lots of weight in the head, perhaps leaning towards Pure Strike territory but easier to use? Overall I myself I’m leaning towards the Radical too, don’t really gravitate to 100 headsize powerful stiff rocket launcher type of rackets. If the Radical is more stable and predictable, less muted than the Speed then it’s a clear winner for me, I assume it’s a bit more manouverable as well but I have to put in more of my own power? Any weakness you found with the Radical?
Anyway thanks again for such helpful answers, if I were in Canada I’d purchase from you store right away, thanks Beckett!
@@cd8145 My Radical was measured at 322 strung SW which shouldn't be too far off average spec. Downside for me was control. I definitely was confident taking full swings on every shot. It does actually play like a Pure Strike but with a softer, more connected feel and fastest swing. It doesn't plow through the ball as well, but it feels stable through the ball.
We do ship internationally, by the way :)
How would you compare the mp with the blade, v7 and 8? Thanks man!
And with an old lm radical?
Indoor Clay court? is it outdoor in the summer and then they put up a tenth in the winter?
Comparison to the NEW HEAD Graphene 360+ Extreme PRO?
sadly we dont get that one in Canada, so I havent tried it
Great review.
Do ypu think the Head Radical Pro is a more powerful racquet compared to the Babolat Pure Aero??
No. The Pure Aero definitely has more power, even though the Radical Pro have so much more mass coming through the impact zone. Both racquet redirect incoming pace very well, but the Pure Aero can help you create pace out of nowhere.
Great review
how would you compare it with blades v7 (both) and speeds, mp and pro; in terms of power, control and feel? your favourite?
Hello i want to buy this racket radical pro but only like this) prototype silver model) 4 1/4. Do you know where i can found it ? Thx
Thanks for your great reviews.
I currently play with a Gravity Pro 18 x 20. What would be your recommendation if I’m looking for a little bit more free power? Would the radical pro give me more power or would you recommend to go to an extreme pro?
Thanks for your advice and for your videos.
Hi Gaston, thanks for your comment. I am actually in the process of switching racquets and one of the ones I was considering was the Gravity Pro so I have good recent memory of it compared to the field. The Radical Pro would be a good move, you lose a bit of stability and control but gain spin and power. I actually really like the Extreme Tour, not the Pro. It is noticeably more powerful and forgiving, but still encourages you to swing hard. The Extreme Pro can be over powered at times. With the Tour, even though it's a lot lighter, the stability is very good, and could get even better with some customization.
Hello, i find your videos are great, your tennis racket test are maybe the best on youtube !
I wonder what would you make of differences between the mp radical and the mp speed (the new one for both of course).
The speed mp is 62 RA (not very power) but 23mm all the frame and 100 inch make it power raquet i think.
Does it make the speed mp 360+more power and more spin racket compared to the racical mp (because bigger ) ?
I have the feeling the radical has better stability and feel ? Before i did not like thin frame (21mm) and light raquet (300gr) because it has a lot of vibration. I think with new technology it is no longer the case, am i wrong ? Thank you for your awnsers !
I think you are pretty spot on. The Radical feels a bit more raw and very stable. The Speed is more muted a plush. I think the Radical feels more whippy and Speed has better plow through
@@CourtsideSportsLTD thanks you ! my fear was to loose power compared to the speed. But with good technique it would not make a big problem i think
@@Orguange The Radical MP still has great power. They made the beam thicker (but not in the direction that measure it, like the width), strengthen the throat area and the head is wider which increased the power from last year
@@CourtsideSportsLTD Many thanks. Your awnsers are with great précisions.
Gravity Pro or Radical Pro? The Gravity feels a bit underpowered and cant get enough angle.
And why you gave the mp more power? I had clearly more power with the pro.
I seen the test radical s mp pro 2021, and S lose all tests a little km/h also she is more hard to control, i have radical s from 2016, the same specs what have 2021but woth 300 balance not 320. I have 1.30 strings babolat exel 24kg and rmp blast 23kg. I need more control, i m playing 3 years at summer and theach tennis by my self, and all i can its untable and i can even serve , can you give me advace pls?
Compared to extreme tour?
Please! I’m playing the tour and love it
Stayed tuned for upcoming video on this. Right now, I'm leaning the Extreme Tour for a pusher feel and more forgiveness outside the string bed.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD you should pick your top 2 head racquets for 2020
@@mteca5093 Coming in next video
How would you compare the Head Radical MP with the Babolat Pure Strike
Thanks for the review! How does the 360+ Radical MP compare to the 360+ Speed MP? For me I look for a racquet that has an easy pop of serve and that is stable enough to play close to the baseline on returns and groundstrokes.
Both will do the this job very well. They are both clearly designed for aggressive minded players. The Speed feels softer and more muted, while the Radical feels stiffer and more responsive.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD is the radical mp more control - oriented than the speed mp?
@@nicohorer2849 i would say yes, but only because the 16x19 string pattern is a bit denser, creating a more predictable launch angle
What size are you using for the play test? Currently using a size #2 Yonex. How does it translate to the head grip size? Thxxxx!
go to a store and try it. I don't own a yonex but i played with my friend's 2021 vcore 98 and 2020 ezone 100 and both g2 with overgrip and both are fine for me. I use the radical mpa from 2016 and the new head grips which is for roundish is not to my liking, i like the old more rectangular head grip(tk82). this new one tk82s grip feels more like a smaller pure drive grip. i am myself unsure if trade it with a g1 or g3 of this radical mp
Between this one and the Blade wish one would I choose? I have this doubt. Please guys help me
thanks for great review. I am serious beginner 40 years old and not that atlethic male. I am between radical mp and new 2022 ezone 98 or 100 which you havent reviewed yet or this 2020 ones which is cheaper now because of the new version. Which you can recommmend me to get . Thanks for your reply
2022 ezone 100. forgiving racket and will grow old with you, like Fed as he grow older his racket headsize grows bigger too as smaller are more demanding. i have this radical and it is not easy to use compared to my other rackets, prince speed ports white & red, 2015 pure drive, radical xt mpa. I tried 2020 ezone 100 too it was nice and they say the 2022 is even better. I tried the new prince tour 100 290 that was nice too, the tour 98 not so much for my game. If you really want a 98 consider the Iga technifibre
Hey Beckett - how would you compare the se two Radicals (both Pro and MP) to the outgoing and new Vcore 98’s ?
Still waiting to test the new 98's. The follow is in reference to the outgoing version. I think the Radical have more inherent stability and a more connected feel than the VCores. The VCores have better power and spin (except the 95 has more control and better feel).
how would you compare the radical pro to the extreme tour and aero vs
Hi! Im choosing between radical mp, speed mp and vcore 98, coming from a blade 1820 cv and looking for litte more power, i already tried gravity tour and ezone 100 and disliked bought, considering this what stick would you recommend me
Definitely the VCORE 98
Hey Beckett, which did you prefer between the new Prestige MP and the 2021 Radical Pro?
I definitely preferred the Radical. The more modern layup suits my more whippy swing style. It's also a lot more forgiving outside the sweet spot. The MP is a good racquet for sure. It is one of the best at what it does, but it doesn't suit my game as well.
Did you prefer the radical pro over the pure strike tour?
Which racquet was better for returns and serving?
Radical has much better control, but the Strike plows through the ball so well on returns. I also like the extra power the Strike has on serve. I prefer the general feel of the Radical though.
2021 Head Extreme 360+ Radical PRO vs 2021 VCore 95 similarity/difference? I have Head Extreme 360 + Pro what is excellent, I like the power very much but I would need more accuracy.
We don't get the 360+ Extreme Pro in Canada, so it's very hard to me to make comparisons with that racquet. I haven't tried the 2021 VCore 95 yet either. In theory, they are very different racquets and I probably won't make such a big change. Going to something like the new Radical Pro or Speed would give you that extra control without being much more demanding to use
Hey I keep going back and forth on the radical MP and Pro. I like the feel and control on the pro but it is slightly to heavy. The MP seems to light for me and a little unstable but otherwise like it. I do have my best serves with the pro and have better control. If I added some weight to the mp would that get me a good middle ground?
Pro is 315grms without strings
332grms with
Add grommet 3grms
Add overgrip 10 grms
That's 345 where a pro should be.
The MP that I use is 337 grams as I've added weight to the butt 6pts hl.
It was 330 before I added weight.
That strings grommet and overgrip.
I just went from my Head liquidmetal Radical MP from 1994. I have 2 customised at 347gms.
lead at 3 and 9 o'clock will make the racket more stable. then you can either add weight at the top and butt cap evenly or at the throat till you get to where you like it.
this version of radical has 2 different mold between the mp and pro so if you like the feel of the pro unfortunately the mp will feel different even when you match the spec. the old radical has the same mold for pro and mp so usually one version usually feel very off because of the way they distribute the weight
I'm looking for a stable racket, good feel, not muted and not too powerful. Im using a wilson clash 100. Could you help me? ezone 98/100 new vcore 98/100 or new radical mp? wilson clash give me enough power, but is not controllable and os quite unstable, mainly at volleys
The Radical MP or Ezone 98 are my first picks for you. They both have a great stable feeling, with good feel and pop off the string bed. I'd probably lean Radical as it's more forgiving.
Hi, how does it compare to Wilson Clash 100?
Can you compare pure strike against Rapidical mp? I'm an aggressive base line player with a big forehand. Not a big guy though, 5 ft 9 and 71 kg. However Pure Aero too powerful for me although I do love the spin. I hit a fairly modern stroke and good top spin. Which racket would you go for? Would massive appreciate a reply :)
Radical will be better for you if you want to help real in some power. It's got a much more predictable string bed than the Strike, but still have awesome forgiveness.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD I'm looking for something less powerful than my Pure Aero. Is it a LOT more powerful than the pure strike? I've tried the PS 16X19 and it felt good, how similar is it to the Radical MP?
@@louis6787 Radical MP is very close in power, probably a bit lower powered
I’m deciding between the new radical mp and new extreme tour! Like lots of topspin with some pop. Any recommendations??
I love the Extreme Tour! I am seriously considering switching to it.
A correctly speced Extreme Tour with 2 grams total under the grommets at 3 and 9 and its the best racquet I have played with.
I cant decide between the 2019 Radical Mp or the new version. I could get the last version for under a 100 Euros (150 CAD). Do you think new version is so much better that i should pay a lot more for it?
I like it more. Given that I usually get a few years out of a racquet I don't mind paying the extra money for something I really like. Try them back to back if you can.
the 2021 paint so ugly though. the 2019 radical has the best paint job in my opinion of all the graphene radicals with the exception of the 2016 limited edition LTD or Sakura
Hi! Thanks for the great review.
I have a question regarding stifness rate.
I tend to have tennis elbow when playing with stiffer rackets, and the margin is very thin.
I am considering buying a couple of Pure Strikes 16 x 19 98 inch frame or the Radical Pro. What would your recommendation be, or would you advice to get either the radical MP or the strike 100?
Thanks.
PS insta sub your thorough review,
Thanks for the sub! The Radical Pro is the softest of the three, so if it's stiffness that bothers you, thats the money. Weight can also absorb shock which gives another edge to the Pro. However if you hit late and that's what cause the issue, maybe a lighter racquet would help you prepare fast, making the MP better. I'd avoid the Strikes. They are better than before, but still very stiff.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD huge thanks for your insight and quick response.
Im looking for a balanced control oriented racket thats not too harsh on the arm.
Thank you!
@@jopemacadam I've always like the comfort level on Yonex racquets. The newest VCORE 95 should have similar power to the Radical Pro (though I haven't yet tried it), and the EZONE 98. The Gravity Pro is also very solid feeling, but may be a bit heavy.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD Wow, great info. So, for control with feel, and and arm friendly racket, lets say you would pick de EZONE 98 first amongst the other ones we have discussed?
@@jopemacadam I like it for its forgiveness as well. The Vcore Pro and v7 Blades are probably more push feeling, but the Ezone 98 is so much easier to use, while still offering confidence inspiring control and above average comfort.
Can I get a review on the wilson clash to the Radical mp? I think the clash is the best racket from Wilson and so the radical from Head. I just want to clarify before I look in to buying.
I would pick the Radical if you have more developed technique. It responds more predictibly with higher swing speeds, whereas the Clash is phenomenal and medium or lower swing speeds, but flexes more than I'd like at pace. At around the 3.5 level, I think the CLash 100 is probably the best racquet.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD So I actually play with the first Head Tour Pro. I have for 6 months. Before that I played with the wilson federer team 105. I have been looking into a new and better(advanced) racket for about 9 months. I think I have found the racket that is best suited to me. I think I'm ready to make that step up.
@@dylanlynch9842 glad to hear you are taking the plunge!
Would you guys please consider reviewing Wilson Blade v7 (16x29 and 18x20)?
If I have some free time I will try to make it happen. Lots of releases and other plans for future videos so the Blades may not make it this year
Which do you prefer, ezone 98 or radical MP? Why?
EZone 98 by a hair
@@CourtsideSportsLTD tks!!! I love my ezone and tf40. The best racquets for me.
Hey! How would you compare the Radical (MP/Pro) vs the Head Prestige MP?
The Prestige MP has a lot more control and feels a lot softer. You'll get a lot better spin with both Radicals. I think the Radical Pro has the best stability of the bunch, mostly due to the higher stiffness vs. the Prestige MP. The Prestige is relatively unforgiving compared to both Radicals, but when you line it up correctly, the feel on impact is extremely rewarding. If i was just plaing for fun, I'd pick the Prestige. If I wanted to win a match, I pick the Radical Pro. The Radical MP has good feel for it's class though. For reference, a close friend of mine has switched away from a 15 year Prestige MP and finally picked up a Radical MP to help with shoulder injuries.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD Thank you so much for such an in-depth analysis. Awesome video as well! :)
Subscribed for sure.
@@jaiselsingh2626 much appreciated!
Between the two, which feels like it swings faster in the air?
The MP's 15g lighter weight makes it faster. The Pro does swing fast for its weight though. It feels much faster than similar racquets eg the Ezone Tour and Gravity Pro
If only they kept this paintjob for the official version. Freaking hate that bright orange
What string and tension would you recommend for each one ot them?
I thought they played quite well with the string Head sent us for demo, Head Experimental Tour 17 at 52lbs.
Can you compare the extreme tour and radical pro? What’s your pick?

@@CourtsideSportsLTD looking forward to it. I’ve just started hitting with the ET and I like it but it’s unstable. Any thoughts on the minimum swing weight it needs to play stable?

Did you like the new MP or pro better? Would you add any weight to the MP and if so locations and amount?
I preferred the Pro for my game. I honestly don't think the MP would need much extra weight to be effective for most players. It was effective for me in stock form.
Hi. Could you please compare the radical mp with the vcore98 ? I wondering which one i have to buy. I already tried the vcore98.
The Radical swings faster through the air, but doesn't penetrate the court in the same way. There is heaviness of ball you can get with the Yonex that I couldn't produce with the Radical MP. The Radical has a more raw, precise impact feel though.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD thanx a lot for this really helpful answer. Which string do you recommand on it ?
@@Le-Chuck Try as many as you can. For stiffer, spin friendly polys, I like Tourbite. For softer polys I like Polytour Pro. If you want to hybrid my fav multi is Head Velocity

How would you compare the Head Radical MP to the Babolat Pure Strike?
Which Strike?
@@CourtsideSportsLTD 18x20
@@lawrencetu7277 The Strike swings much heavier. Delivers a lot more power via plowthrough and feel more stable. Spin is better on the Strike if you hold swing speed constant, but you can probably get higher racquet head speed with the Radical to get better spin. Feel on the Radical is better. Less muted and more responsive. Overall, I pick the Strike everyday for the weight and consistent 18x20 stringbed at the expense of feel.
I hit with both today on a ball machine, and agree with your swing weight analysis. Do you have a different view about the 16x19 Strike?
@@lawrencetu7277 In theory, the 16x19 is lighter because it has less strings, but Babolat's quality control makes it impossible to feel this difference. Very unlikely that you'll get to compare the 18x20 and 16x19 with sufficiently similar specs to feel the weight difference in the string pattern.
Hi what is the title of the music intro ??? Please reply asap thanks 🎾😎☺

How would the Radical Pro compare to the Speed Pro in your opinion?
The Radical definitely swing faster. The Speed has more inherent stability and I feels much flexier. I felt the flex to be so much in the upper hoop that it tricked me into feeling it was unstable. The Radical is much firmer and livelier off the string bed. Spin and power are similar.
@@CourtsideSportsLTD cool, thank you!
The actual colour is not my cup of tea. If only they stuck with this gun metal grey😩😩😩
These Heads are so ugly in terms of paint job. Are they trying to market it to 12 year olds?
