Any pros currently using a Head Radical OS racquet??

Obviously Andre Agassi made the Radical Oversize racquet extremely popular. However, since his retirement no one has really grabbed the torch in the oversize racquet department. Just curious, can anyone name any pros that play with the Head Radical and/or use an equivalent oversize in a different brand???

It's hard to believe there are hardly any pros playing with oversize racquets. Not too long, you had Agassi, Chang, and numerous players using the Prince OG (Coria, JCF etc). It's interesting how things have changed.

If my memory serves me right, both Coria and JCF used the 100 sq inch Longbody version of the prince, not the oversize version.

Most don't like the relative lack of control in oversized heads not to say you cant control them its just not as practical

It's just curious to me that a guy like Agassi was so successful against so many generation of players (Connors, Becker, all the way to even Federer's generation) using an oversize racquet. Of course, Agassi had great eye hand coordination, perhaps like no other. However, why couldn't a Davydenko who plays a similar game use that type of racquet?? If control was such an impediment, why did Agassi play with one???

I remember back in 1982 there was big talk that Jimmy Connors was gong to sign with prince and play the POG, you know huge money for him and he was just going to go "cold turkey" on his T2000. :)
