Just picked up a used Head IG Radical MP - decided to string it with Hawk at 45. Anyone else still rocking this racket? What strings work well with this?
First impressions for me are: great maneuverability, good amount of power for me due to its relatively low weight allowing me to swing out...

Black racket with Head Tour description. I compared it with the Ti radical and it is identical in head, grommets and beam but 0.5cm longer. Weight without string (with base grip) is about 283g. Designations: T095, N985, B0925. No pallets. Attached photo. what do you think?

Can anyone help me ID this racquet? This racquet was ordered from a former pro and is likely a pro stock. The throat only says radical, not radical mp, and there are no specs listed on the frame. There is a sticker on the inside of the throat with numbers. I do not believe it is a 2023 radical...
Hello. I recently acquired a couple of Head YouTek Radical MP's. The 2009 version. TGK260.1 I do believe. Anybody have insight on where to source replacement grommets and head guards for this particular model? Will these parts from other Radical models work? Also, will the black Head buttcaps...
I do know Head released a 25th anniversary back in 2018, but it was the wrong Head/Prostock Code by using the Ti.Radical OS mold but not sure about the layup itself. Anyway since the recent release of the Prestige Classic 2.0, would players/collectors want Head to release this frame with the...
I've been playing on a set of iRadical MP frames for a while now, mostly strung with PSG 16 gauge at 54 lbs. I'm a low-4.0 player and considering how hard it is to get these rackets these days, I'm considering switching to something else. I'd also like to be able to get a little more spin from...
Hello fellow tennis players,
Been using Radical S so far, and would like to go two ways to upgrade my racquets.
Current like: Serve Power, Precision
Current dislike: Stability, Sometime too powerful
Option 1: Add lead tape to increase stability, less power, more control.
Currently Radical...
hi folks
can someone tell the difference in radical series of liquid metal and micro gel .. i am curious to know why these two rackets are admired till date ..
please help
Long-time lurker (ever since 8th grade when I began thinking about racquets and a coaching change) but first time poster. For reference, I am an All-State tennis player who is turning down DII/DIII/JUCO offers for academic reasons and will likely be playing DI Club Tennis next year. I want a new...
One of the underappreciated junior rackets I think. There are very few 18x20 98 softer rackets with low swingweights around, so for a junior player it's a good introduction to 'proper' rackets. Plus points for being cheap to boot. Bought one to try myself, to get a sample of what that fuss about...
Just saw a tennis spin video revealing the new 2021 radical pro. Seems that the new face of the radical is Taylor Fritz. This is a move that I cannot understand, as there are much more successful players endorsing the radical line, such as Schwartzman and Garin. Any thoughts or explanations?
I've been playing with a few version of the Radical 690/Oversize, and now I find myself in the situation that I should get two "new" frames, as my old ones are getting close very scruffy. So I wanted to ask you tennis nerds what is your favorite version of the Radical Tour OS frame? And why...
I mean just look at how TW presents the racquets to the general public: "The Speed family of racquets sits between the classic control of the Prestige line and the modern power of the Extreme series. These racquets are perfect for all-court players looking for a good balance between power and...
I have a question for the people who know more about the Radicals than me. Anyway, is the Youtek Radical MP mold the same as the Youtek IG Radical Pro/MP? Besides the different drill pattern of course.
Hello, sorry for the translation, I'm french;)
Following a small injury (gardening + tennis), I want to play with my old racquets Head radical OS 690 (trisys 260), less rigid than the pure aero and no longer play with a full mono but with a hybrid mono / synthetic gut.
BUT as this racket has a...
So, I can now confirm that the New 2019 Head Radicals are going to be released on May 16th.
Changes:
Handle shape will change from the more traditional Head rectangular shape to the new "Modern" square shape seen on the Speed line.
The racket will be introduced to the new Graphene 360...
Hi guys,
I’d like to know if a new line of HEAD Radical racquets will be released soon? Gonna buy a pair of them but I’ll wait if new models are coming.
Thanks!

In celebration of the Radical 25th Anniversary, could the Radical experts out there please list all the versions of the Radical line along with the year released and the the specs of each? Thanks in advance!
I'm running out of my beloved i.Radical MPs after having cracked one recently (I have one good one left). I'm struggling to find more in my grip size (3/8) so I'm considering switching to something else.
My first thought would be another Radical of a different generation, but I'm not sure...
I want to buy a clear grommet for the radical graphene pro, however tennis warehouse only sells the orange cap one. Does anyone know where I can get a clear grommet for the graphene pro? or a grommet that is similar to the clear one?
Hi people. Im looking for advice to changing racquets. I bought a pair of Head GSMP but never feel comfortable with their grip for forehands strokes...Before I played with a Blades BLX (Black and Gold) and I love it but I have to sell them because it had vibrations on tip so on serves destroyed...
I know that this racket has been out for awhile now, but I thought I would give this a full in depth review as I am in the market for a racket currently, and this being tennistalk, I'm sure many others have commitment issues with rackets as well as myself.
Background: 25 years old, SW Forehand...
hi guys, I've been looking to cap my xt radical pro, but in my country, head doesn't sell the radical xt cap grommets, so i was wondering if the prestige pro xt caps (16x19) would fit, given that they have the same head size, and only 1mm difference in beam width. Anyone has tried this?? i want...
Hey guys, so this is what I'm looking for in a racquet:
- Plush, buttery feel
- Stable (while being under 12 oz would be ideal!)
- Tons of control
- Free power (this is just an added bonus, and does't have as much priority as the previously mentioned - if I'm not asking for too much)
Based on...
Hi! I'm 23 years old, and I play with a semi western forehand and a single handed backhand. I play an aggressive baseline game, and love to go to the net when the opportunity presents himself. I hit more flat shots than I do topspin.
Ideally my racquet should be comfortable (plush, buttery feel...
