Head Radical Motion 2026

The Head Radical Motion 2026 is the lightweight model in the Radical series: a teardrop shape, 355 g, a 260 mm balance and a double carbon layer with a hard feel. Head aims it at advanced and tournament players with a tactical game who set the pace of the rally and value placement.

Head Radical Motion 2026 specifications

Who is the Head Radical Motion 2026 for?

It suits you if your technique is solid, you spend a lot of time at the net and want a quick racket for volleys, blocks and placed bandejas. If you are starting out or want a soft, easy ball exit, look at the Radical Team; if you finish points with big smashes, a diamond racket will suit you better.

Strengths and things to consider

Strengths

• Manoeuvrability: at 355 g with a 260 mm balance, the racket moves quickly in defence and in fast exchanges at the net.
• Precision: the double carbon layer and Control Foam give a stable impact for directing lobs and low balls.
• Feel on impact: Auxetic 2.0 and the new drilling pattern transmit the ball well and enlarge the sweet spot.

Things to consider

• Demands technique: the hard feel punishes off-centre shots and gives little free power at a slow pace.
• Less explosive smash: the teardrop shape and low weight offer less momentum than a diamond racket.

Radical Motion 2026 compared with Radical Team 2026 and Coello Motion 2026

The Head Radical Team 2026 shares the teardrop shape and Control Foam, but it weighs 360 g, lowers the balance to 255 mm and swaps carbon for a soft glass fibre face. Choose the Team if you are an intermediate player or want comfort; the Radical Motion is for advanced players who want a firmer, more precise response.

The Head Coello Motion 2026 weighs 360 g, but it is a diamond with a 268 mm balance, a 475 cm² hitting surface and a hard feel. It is designed for attacking with a light racket. Pick it if you smash a lot; stay with the Radical Motion if you build points with control, placement and speed at the net.
