Hi, this is my first post here in this big tennis community!
I would like to have some advice to choose between this 2 racquets, my level of tennis is intermediate, full swing, topspin, and one handed backhand, my style of play is a base line player, only go to the net if neccesary.
My actual racquet is Head Microgel Radical MP (18x20) and Im looking for a racquet that will help to get more topspin.
I know that 16x19 will improve this, both raquects have it.

Look at the weight and especially the SW differences.
Note the 5 points difference in flex.
Can you swing faster than you currently are?
Do you need more SW than your MGRadMid? Can you handle more SW and weight?
Would it be better to go for the lighter racket that is already stiffer than your MG, and weight it up if you need it?
If you want more spin, go for thinner poly and soften the tension another 5-8 lbs.
