Head Graphene 360 Radical S Grip Shape

[SARIM]

Hi.

A quick question to anyone who uses this racket, or to @TW Staff.

I have read on a website that the Head Graphene 360 Radical S, specifically, has a square grip shape just like the Speed line, and not like the rest of Radicals;
"The Graphene 360 Radical S features the same square grip shape found on the Speed racquets. This is a change from the previous version and it now features the same handle shape as the Speed series".

Is this true? I have not find a similar statement on your website. I have purchased a used one and I was planning to order TK82S pallets. But if this racket already has the TK82S, I would not have to order 'em.

Please confirm it to me.
Thank you,
SARIM

I have found this statement on TW:
"The grip has been updated to a rounder shape"

Does this mean that the racket has 2 official versions? Round and square?

The entire Radical 360 line was switched to the TK82S pallet when it released. Same with the new Prestige. Only the PT 2.0 has the classic TK82 pallet now

In this case, as contradictory as it sounds, rounder = more square.

Basically it's gone from rectangular TK82 to being more uniform in terms of height/width, which is why some people use "square" and some people "round"

wonderful racquet with exceptional power and feel(RA 61)....needs lead tuning to get to at least 11.8....Yeah great grip shape.....I'm done trying racquets for the foreseeable future and see if I can work on my game instead(chased away my TE and racquet addiction)

Sorry I meant square and rectangular* versions

Yeah I like that it has a larger head size than the MP and Pro, but it definitely needs extra weight as you said.
What string set-up do u use?

Hmm. I'm more into poly hybrids.

Then no, I would say that they're all TK82S by default and that they're going to phase out the TK82 pallets (or at least, make them purchasable, but not installed on any racket by default).

I see.
Thank you very much.
