Auxetic Gravity and Radical


And you can buy from Head directly.
 
man I really hope the new Radical design looks less plastic than the current model. I don't mind the neon orange, but it just looks and feels so cheap IMO. not really a fan of the diagonal two-tone design Head is moving all their racquets to either.
 
Usually the paintjob is the same... But in the specs (I don't speak or read Austrian) they don't mention anywhere the Auxetic, so I don't know if this is a completely different model.
I think I like this one better just because is an integrative design of the 4 colors and if its glossy that would look amazing
 
I would say the new Gravity PJ might be in the top 3 of best PJs ever put into mass production. It's just sleek & cool with some crazy details on the frame.
 
When will they be released, i just want to hit one. The Auxetic technology has definitely made a difference in the Speed line. I’m really interested to see what it does for the Radical MP & Pro. Love the way they play, just not the way the make my arm feel though. The auxetic technology should give the Radical the added feel & comfort it needed.
 
Didn't like the livery on the previous Radiacal (those different coloured stripes around the head). This new look seems great. From this clip, one can see there's a longer silver-ish stripe on the other side of the frame.
Who else doesn's like both the previous and this 2023 Radical orange-red colour? Seems like a poor paintjob. Couldn't they've made it more glossy like the Gravity? This livery makes the racket look 6-month used already...

sure and agree of the laver cup mp..
Always a opportunity to expand the line..
Ex.... offer a 100 in 300 grams. They have a S in 102..
Even Wilson offers a Great Blade in 100...
98, 100, 102, 104.
Babolat offers the Strike in 98, 100, 103..
 
Very curious about how the Auxetic affects the Gravity MP. It's lighter and has a lower SW than the Pro and Tour, and has the 16/20 pattern. But it's original design lacks a bit of pop.
 
My notes on the new Gravity Pro

So some thoughts after roughly 5 hours on court with the Auxetic Gravity Pro courtesy of @dr325i.

Head definitely has hit gold with the new Gravity line. The frame, to me, is the ultimate combination of precision and control. This was my first time hitting a frame with the Auxetic material, so I'm not really sure what its intended use is, but for me it made the frame feel a lot more solid than my GPs (which are weighted up from spec to achieve the desired stability). The stability was there, especially when I hit it out of the sweet spot. Top spin was no issue and when I wanted to flatten one out, it felt like the frame was super responsive and very plush. I feel like this frame is the epitome of taking the information the player puts into their swing (spin/pace) and generates the desired outcome. I think the frame has a bit more power in it, but it doesn't feel like it is because Head has really altered the mold, just made it more stable throughout the hoop which I love.

One thing I was eager to see was how the new frame handled serving, which was the one thing that I think the old GPs struggled with. Head nailed it again, no issues with the serves and returning was by far my favorite.

To cap everything off the PJ is top tier and I think it will be one of the best Head has ever released.

I was told by the GOAT, that the spec I tested was over-spec from the retail model that will be launching, but it perfectly fit my game. I loved the static weight and the SW.

I'll post some more notes when I get a chance.
 
quick upload)
-looks like the pics got deleted (i tought they would!!)
-but i got to see them :rolleyes:
-but this color way makes more sense to me (the deep red-ORANGE and gray-BLUE)
-this is in line with the string just released "head.hawk.power", grayBLUE hue!!
-very similar to the previous 2019 head.rad graph.360 color way

-i gotta say, i am not crazy about the 2023 color way, seems disconnected!?, but if it "feels" good, then it will be ok
-i have high hopes for this release!(2023)
 
I don't understand Head's paintjobs. So ugly and uninspired.
-yeah, its a bit of a let down, but who knows
-gotta wait to get it on hand and on the sun light to make a final call
-but even then, if its SOFT and plush, it will be our new best friend!! (y)

I’d say that the Gravity PJ is probably one of the most beautiful released lately.
The Prestige is amazing and very fitting for the legendary line.
The radical PJ fits the name and history perfect
 
what exactly are the cosmetic haters looking for?? I mean if you want more graphic patterns and visual things I can get that, but what about the paint jobs aren’t good?? They have always committed to a brand aesthetic with each line up and the new colors are really cohesive.

maybe I love bright colors, no matter how saturated, but for real, what’s the beef??

I think a lot miss the legendary bumblebee and candycane paintjobs of the "original" and "classic" radicals. Same with missing the more plush-flexible response. I miss the latter and find it way more important.
Obviously the radical pivoted to orange-ish/red many generations ago, but nonetheless some are likely hoping for a throwback.
 
I only came to know the Radical as an orange frame and found out about its history through this website. But yes, the plush-flexible response is a good way of describing what's been missing.
 
there's lots of funny things about people creating alt accounts on here, but what's cracking me up is a grown man calling another grown man a GOAT. didn't realize Michael Jordan was letting people test new Head racquets
