HEAD Youtek Radical MP and Speed MP

[jediluke]

So I've been demoing racquets to buy and I've narrowed it down to these 2

I haven't demoed the radical mp as my shop didn't have any available.

Could anyone tell and describe the difference in feel, spin generation, power, control and etc from the two?

Thanks

P.S The Speed MP I demoed was 16x19.

I can't help with the new radical, but the Speed MP 16x19 felt almost exactly like my flexpoint radical mp, despite being quite a bit heavier. i got more spin with the speed mp.
i think most of the sameness feeling was due to the nearly identical swingweight.

i liked the radical better, but only after adding weight to it. i'm used to a heavier racquet. the radical IMO is better than the speed in terms of feel and control. the speed definitely has the edge on power and spin generation.

Very confusing. Many have said the same thing about the power level but Head lists the Radical MP as an L4 and the speed as an L3- L4 is considered more powerful. Spin generation makes sense-16x 19 vs. 18x 20

I'm actually holding the Speed MP in my hands right now and the swing style is listed as L5. It probably has more power because (1) it's heavier and (2) flex is 63 compared to only 59 on the radical mp.

That makes sense... and I stand corrected. The Speed Pro MP is listed as L5. L5 is less powerful. However, the speed is heavier, etc.
