It does look a lot better than the picture from the leaked catalogue. Hopefully we get more details soon on the differences between the pro and the mp.

I’ve got both. I’ll get with @Geoff sometime in the next few days and get the different measurements and post them for you guys.

right now all I have is they came strung with Lynx and it weighs 328g out of the bag.

Thanks, please kindly keep updated, and compare with 360 ones if possible.

That’s the prototype/unreleased graphic. The releasing graphic is bright and orange. I’m excited that the weight bumps up on both! MP up to 10.6 and the pro is 11.1 oz.

Correct. Ill be getting that one soon too but I won’t be able to post it until it’s officially released. I can tell you that the balance already looks good from my POV.

Shall do! After hitting with the Extreme Tour I have high expectations for this one.

Really looking forward to your opinion on the Pro. I really liked the new Tour, esp from the baseline, but it didn’t work as well for me at net, so I’m back to the GPro.

That's the Pro right? probably 310gr/315mm unstrung, same as before. And having this in mind the MP is probably 300gr/325mm with the two being the same mold and swingweight (ie. the difference is 10gr in the handle). Although head will not release to retail as such that paintjob is very nice, it would look great if it was glossy.

The proto PJ looks amazing with orange head logotype on the silver grey frame.

The Gravity Pro is the perfect retail frame. There’s no need to customize that frame and I hate stock frames but that racquet is epic! The Extreme with some work was fantastic so I’m really excited about this narrow beam, head light racquet.

The beam is narrower than the previous model. Looks and feels very promising

Pro version too? All of Head’s flexier 16 main racquets the last few years have been pretty light sticks. It would be nice to have even a medium weight, flexy, 16 main stick from them.

Looks similar to the gravity pro in the handle area (20mm?) but it’s definitely wider in the hoop (22-23mm?). Did you take measurements?

Catalogue beam spec: 20-21.5-21mm
The final paintjob is a wreck though. I don't like these current fluoroscent paintjobs Head is serving. The test/demo/promo paintjobs are great.

Thats a prototype! They're strung with the new Head Lynx Tour Orange!!

Maybe a new idea for their pro line, prototype paint jobs on the racquets. I do like the 2021 Gravity racquet paint. My only complaint is it is slightly too busy. Most of the other lines I am not fond of their paint design choices. Speed line looks ok, older extreme pro looks reasonable. If the current Radical had 360+ I could live with it. I might buy a radical down the line, but Gravity is here now. I would prefer the new colors, but don't want to wait. String is nice looking. It would be hard for me to pick between the gravity and the silver radical. I think I would have to get both.

I understand it’s along the lines of the prestige and extreme but in orange. Is it glossy at least?

I served and hit some volleys with it yesterday. I need to cut out the Lynx as I really dislike it and replace it with Hawk Touch.

it definitely has less power than the Extreme Tour. This felt closer to older classic radical. Very solid feel. Felt great at the net. I used it during a lesson with a 12 year old. I’ll post a full review on Monday night after I hit with it and my tournament players as well.

Think more speed type style. Gloss in the throat.
I will throw out a dirty teaser. There will be an adjustment to the color scheme of the Speed. No other details though.

For those wondering the width of the beam here is a picture alongside with the Gravity Pro and Extreme Tour

Radical Pro 20/21.5/21mm; 315g; 315mm BP.
Radical MP 22/25/23mm; 300g; 320mm BP.

Long grommet channel ("Flex Groove" technology) which was first seen in the Gravity Tour/MP (but not Pro) - intended to enhance flex. No reason to believe it doesn't, given the nice feel in the Gravity line.

I’ll let you know tomorrow! It’s definitely not as soft as the Gravity Pro. That’s on another level. Restringing my Radical Pro with Hawk Touch at 52lbs today. May add lead to it as well.

if anyone wants more pictures just let me know

My thought exactly. Maybe they want to sell a new paintjob ? head now has the most number of lines in the industry but garbage is garbage.

Head 360+ is the one of the best racquet series on the market. You wouldn’t know a good racquet if it appeared in your hand. Take your vitriol back to the Blade Pro thread where you can argue about the wrong beam width of an H22.
