Who is the Head Radical Pro 2024 for?
It suits you if you have solid technique, play often and want a precise racket for volleys, bandejas and viboras without losing stability on blocks. The 3K carbon and 370 g reward a clean swing. If you are an intermediate player, the fibreglass Elite will feel more comfortable; if you live for smashing for three, look at a diamond racket.
Strengths and things to consider
Strengths
- Precision: 3K carbon and Control Foam give a direct response that makes it easy to place the ball into tight angles.
- Stability: its 370 g absorbs hard-hit balls well on blocks and when defending off the glass.
- Handling: the 260 mm balance, which HEAD describes as reduced, offsets the weight and speeds up play at the net.
Things to consider
- Demands technique: with 3K carbon faces, off-centre hits are felt more than with a fibreglass racket.
- High weight: 370 g can tire your arm in long matches if you are not physically well prepared.
Radical Pro 2024 compared with Radical Motion 2026 and Radical Team 2026
The Radical Motion 2026 keeps the teardrop shape, the 260 mm balance, which HEAD now rates as medium, and Control Foam, but drops to 355 g, uses double-layer carbon faces and adds Auxetic 2.0. It is just as demanding and quicker to swing; the Pro 2024 offers more mass for defending and blocking.
The Radical Team 2026 swaps carbon for fibreglass and drops to 360 g and a 255 mm balance that HEAD rates as low, with a soft feel. It is the choice for intermediate players or anyone after comfort; the Pro 2024 is for advanced players who put precision first.
