Difference in feel and comfort between the XT Radical Pro and MP

[Frans Bleker]

Hello Folks,

Just a question about the following: I've tested the XT Graphene Rad Pro with a stiffness rating of 67. The Graphene XT Radical MP was reported to have 63 stiffness rating according to tennis warehouse. I found the Rad Pro to be really stiff and crisp. Did anyone test both rackets and can tell me how the MP differs in terms of feel, comfort and stiffness from the Pro?

Thanks!

I've played both the Pro and MP of the previous non-XT Graphene Radical.

The numbers don't lie... the pro is stiffer, more powerful (from the weight and stiffness), more stable, and less comfortable. However, I really enjoy both and wouldn't consider either uncomfortable.

Personally, I prefer the MP with a bit of lead in the hoop. I like the added control and flex of the MP, and adding some lead gives you a bit more stability.

What are you stringing the Pro with?

I demo'd the XT pro one time. I also own two normal Graphene Radical Pro's and i'm stringing them with Head Lynx or Sonic Pro normally. But I would like a bit more comfort/flex from the frame.
