I'll cheers to that!!
$89.95 for the racquet, less than $10 for some silicon, lead tape, dampener and overgrip and you'll have the closest thing to the PT57A and heaven. At least for anyone who has good technique and can generate their own power. ie. 4.5+ NTRP rating..
The IG Radical Pro is a great racquet but there was something about the way it flexed that made me sell it. I wanted to like it but the soft flex coupled with incredible power made it hard to control (For me anyway).
My good mate had the Pro One 97. It felt great. The more I used it, the more I realised why he liked it soo much. Solid yet flexy like a PT57A. The only gripe for me was the significant power increase took away a lot of the control the PT57A had, and control is soo important for me.
The Microgel Radical MP was another story. A half decent racquet in stock form but a tad light and tinny/hollow for me. Add 10-15grams of silicon in the handle, an overgrip, 2-4grams of lead each at 3&9, and this thing transforms to a soft, solid, stable non tinny weapon with incredible control and feel.
Close your eyes, press 'add to cart' and checkout.. You will never regret it. And your wallet will thank you for it too.
