has anyone hit with the Youtek radical mp and the dunlop aerogel 4D 300?

[EKnee08]

It seems to me that the specs of the Youtek Radical MP is very similar to the Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300. Has anyone who has hit with both, give me their impressions? In addition, I realize that the Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300 is a 16 x 19 but how does that compare to the Youtek Radical MP?

I hit with both of them just a week ago. The feel of the Radical is much better to me, but the Dunlop seems a little more stable. From everything I've read on here, most people have put a touch of lead tape on the MP and said it's magical after that.
I, however, purchased the Radical MP's and am going back to my APD...just need the forgiveness. Email is dangrelecki@yahoo.com if you want a sweetheart of a deal on the MPs in perfect shape.

Current KBlade fan so demo's the youtek Radical but it just didn't feel right to me, not enough power and too light.
Have heard many positives about the radical pro...

I've hit with both and I actually prefer the YouTek Rad MP. It plays bigger than it's weight suggests. The AG3004D is fine but needs lead to keep from getting pushed around against heavy hitters.

Thanks. As amazing at it may seem, you are first who has responded who has hit with both. I have always been a Head guy.
Has anyone else experienced both sticks?

Thanks, you are the first person who has responded. Which do you think has better control? spin? power?

All else being equal, I am a Head guy.
I have never customized a racket before. If I go with the Radical, where would you recommend I place the lead tape and how much tape?
Thanks for your input.

Thanks everyone, now leaning toward the Youtek radical MP and will hit with it tonight. Hoping, I will not miss the 16 x 19

I hit w/ a pro's Youtek radical mp w/ tonic 16 last night for two hours of singles. Loved it. Played a very good all court game against one of my regular opponents. Great feel and was able to hit heavy. Did not lose spin despite being an 18x 20. Had better control than the Dunlop and was able to pinpoint shots. Power was fine and the frame was easy on my arm. Going with it over the Dunlop.
