Mansewerz · 04-01-2009, 10:56 AM

But from what I saw earlier, they suck!! (the paintjobs that is)

The asymmetrical black paint at the top of the Speed and Radical racquets is meant to mimic the HEAD ski tip logo/stencil. Get used to it.

No, that's just how the Radicals will look--I've held unstrung versions in my hand. Besides other pics of the new Radicals have been posted in other threads.

Haha it isn't an april fools joke. The website really had pictures of the new radicals and the new speed pro line. The Speed pro pics are still up, but they mysteriously took the radical pictures down... I'm really disappointed that they took down the pictures. Head probably didn't want the pictures up so soon. If you want to see the website/ the speed pro line, here is the link:

The new "youtek" line that you saw may or not come out... There are a few different names they are working with...

You 'sorta like it' but it 'looks awful'--makes no sense.

I explained the 'YOUTEK' in post #11 of this thread.

Mansewerz · 04-01-2009, 08:14 PM

Actually, it doesn't look too bad. But in comparison with the MG's, no contest.

Goseki · 04-01-2009, 10:04 PM

Nice concept, although i'm not sure how it will play. Comfort-wise if it stiffens upon impact, wouldn't that make it less comfortable when returning hard serves and shots? I'm just gonna hog as many MG as i can when the price drop and these come out. The d3o stuff doesn't seem like it will play as well. I guess time will tell.

it'd be pretty damn funny and messed up right when the rackets are about to come out, Head's like "ok this was all part of our 2009 april fool's joke"

The Rad MP is right in its usual sweetspot, perfect (if a little light as per usual allowing lead modification). The beam is wider by 0.5 than the LM Rad and MG. A beefier beam should translate as a little more power (I find the MG underpowered) and a little more stability.

The Speed series is all heavier.
