Looks like TN likes it, softer and better feel than the previous version. The 360+ layups looks like they are working in all the retail offerings!

This one is going on my long demo list for sure! even though Mp versions are seen more on the courts.. this one could be one of the better ones since the IG radical iteration

The Tennis Nerd guy thinks that for him it might be even better than the IG Rad Pro... which in my books is high praise. Things are definitely sounding positive.
I thought he was hitting well with it.

Yes, all the 360+ line racquets have been really good so far! I am impressed with how the HEAD 360+ Extreme Tour feels, but the Radical Pro's spec is matching my range; but have to wait for few more months I think!

I just held a retail version in hand today. I believe it was the "S" which was huge and light. The greenish silver treatment only went up the throat, in that same asymmetrical shape head uses across all their racquets, and then the hoop was entirely a bright day-glow orange. Orange "RADICAL" lettering was also painted against the longer silver side of the throat. The grommet holes were exactly like the Extreme, extra big in places, and horizontal slits in the center crosses. Apart from the beam geometry, I don't understand why this line exists if there will be so much overlap in terms of emphasis on spin and stiffness with the Extreme line. Apart from Radical fandom that is, which I admit I'm susceptible to.

So much good feedback from users with the radical pro prototypes... this might be a good alternative to the wilson pro labs models... Wilson QC is a killer! I know as I am a wilson user lol

Wilson never changes, head has been surprisingly good the last couple of years for me... I ended up sending a pro labs frame back due to ridiculous tolerance levels and was quickly reminded why I never stuck with them.

Yeah I sourced matched frames myself, but it shouldn't have to be that way... adding a gram or two of lead is ok, but other tolerances can't be easily reversed or fixed.
Hopefully we are allowed to post pics soon of the actual paint without being removed... if they are released early 2021 then maybe next month or December for roll-out.

I heard the pro will be a world wide release, US included, just before Aus open start.

I can't "confirm" the date but my reliable source states Jan 2021, as the above poster mentions around the AO. Will be getting my hands on the 360+ Pro in a few days and will be sure to share my impressions to my fellow racquetaholics.

I just can't get over the cosmetics, I know, I shouldn't care about that... but I'll feel like it's a "safety racquet". But as an Agassi fan and lapsed radical lover, I'm intrigued by all the positive buzz. Hmmm... is there a racquet repainting thread on these boards by the way? (New member here. )
Nothing a can of Krylon and some masking tape can't cure! Hmm...I have a Clash that could use some de-orangification

The 2021 paintjob is critical in keeping my opponents and innocent bystanders safe when I frame and shank every other ball

Why? The final PJ actually looks great in person. The leaked Catalog pictures look way off...Now if we can only convince Head to release it in the silver color

Agree. The catalogue and final pj are worlds apart. The silver paint is pretty good though.
I like the simplicity of the prototype design. It feels refreshing and new, yet comforting all at the same time. If they made the simple colors an option or a pro frame I would likely pay more for it...

you can always repaint it for $80 if an issue
However, it looks really sweet in final paint.

Look at quite a few pros using simplistic designs on their paint job. I will look at the final in person, but the silver is just striking. Quite a few people have voiced they like the silver. Catalog picture was not flattering to boot. Not all of us have a release ready model in our hands
Even with a great paint job the Silver would be a nice option. Seems every brand is looking for a way to sell a premium offering people are willing to pay more for...best QC and a silver paint job would get my attentiondid you hit with it yet? how did it go? and do you have any SW measurements? thanks!
You can also see him using the racquet he is striking quite well...360+ seems like finally Head is back on track. The past few generations before 360+ were not really for me. In general most of the 360+ racquets are reasonably good. Some of them are actually great.
I’m not saying they are not! Asking because in the past he was sponsored by Head.

Different shade of grey (silver)
I know it's early days but any take on comfort and flex you can share please? How is it on those dimensions compared to the 360+ Prestige MP?
dr325i
G.O.A.T.
Prestige MP is softer, thinner, lower power. I have not tried Prestige Pro.
The flex feels very comfortable but crisp. Definitely not stiff or harsh. Great feel and feedback when you hit the sweet spot.
Will spend more time with it

yeah. love this paintjob.. coral orange may be a little too much for me on the upper half but I can see how the final PJ looks very cool in hand.. PJ aside.. this racket sounds like "the one" hahah.. so said the holic....This is the BEST paintjob from Head for last N years... and one of the best PJ amoung other brands.
Too shame that Head decided to have this PJ ONLY on Radical Prototypes
