Head IG Radical MP/Pro - appreciation thread

[eucebio]

Anyone else rock these older Radicals?

Personally have been playing with the IG Rad MP - frame as ”Fritz” setup with Head Hawk 1.30 strings.

Still amazed how stable the frame is for it’s weight. Plays so much bigger than 295g unstrung!! Has spin, control, low flex, good power at least stringed with Hawk.

I personally usually don’t like 18x20, 95”, head balanced frames. I have more have been into heavier head-light classic player’s frame setup but there is something magical in this frame…

I’m not surprised Fritz plays quite stock with it!!

Yeah, I still have four of these. But I‘ve leaded and puttied them up quite a bit. About 6g of lead under the bumper and about 20g in the buttcap. Great, great racquet!!! This thing sends dive bombs a la PAVS if you let it whip through. So much spin for a 95“ 18x20 racquet.

Ah, and we coined the frame "Ken" because Fritz' gf is such a Barbie.
