New Racquet Releases 2025?

The new radical is ORANGE as hell.

Salmon orange mix kind of like Cocos Boom. I wonder if this is an alternate and there will be a more toned down version or if this is what they’ll all look like
Looks pretty good me thinks. Liked the orange and salmon/coral PJ. I think I saw it on FB yesterday.

If the new Dunlops SX 300Tour can achieve the performance of the 2019 SX300Tour and reduce the weight to around 305g, 290SW, it will make people want to try it. The 2019 SX300Tour is the best in the series, except that the excessive weight of 315g and 306SW affects the endurance and volleying. The later models are getting worse and worse.
 
What's going on with Volkl, are they going to release a new V1 and V1 pro ? Seems like it's been awhile since the Vcell version was out.
Exactly what I’m waiting for im Interested in the V1 pro but can’t get any info anywhere , if you do find out release date let me know as they have to be next with the V1 mp

Same here...but honestly - it kinda fits with the Radical and I would say many people will like this bright orange.
I think Head's paintjobs are not getting better with the Auxetic 2.0 models. The Extreme is still OK, all the others don't look good in my opinion, maybe the bright alternative paintjob for the Boom is still OK. The Radical is a strange mix of shades of red in my opinion. It could be more neon and loud and I think there is a lack of contrast of the two colours. Head made some really awesome paintjobs during the last years, for example I really like the 360+Prestige which is one of the best looking rackets ever for me, the Gravity Auxetic was superb, also the current Speed Legend is very nice. Other Auxetic 2.0 designes are not for me so far.

My postewith the link to Reddit was deleted. So if anybod is I treated in what the new Radical will look like, just use Google an you will find the Reddit thread including high resolution pictures. There are also the first online shops listing the racket with pictures, at least some can be found in the Google image search previews.

Head continues to make their racquets look worse and worse with each generation, bravo.
strongly disagree, auxetic 2.0 prestige, extreme, boom, and gravity are all solid upgrades imo. i like the new auxetic 2.0 gravity to be released but i can understand why some don’t. and truthfully there is nothing wrong with minimalism. head just makes minimalist color blocked frames. while i personally prefer the more maximalist pj’s from the early 00’s, most people don’t.

agree, Auxetic 2.0 prestige and speed legend are one of the best paints I have seen in recent years. I originally disliked the extreme paint, but after seeing it in the flesh, it is indeed fabulous. From the photos circulating, gravity Auxetic 2.0 will definitely be amazing. For Radical, surely it will be polarizing but I guess there will be someone like it.

For the Radical, I wish they'd switch out the lighter orange and darker orange for each other. So it'd be dark-light-dark instead of light-dark-light. But i definitely prefer the 23 paintjob.

I like the current Prestige paint job but I'm still wondering what they were thinking with the matte black areas. Quite frankly it looks awful to the point of it looking like a manufacturering flaw.

i thought so at first too, but its grown on me. i do wish it was a little more figured or busy so it looks a little more on purpose though. but overall i’ve grown to really like it.

Isn't that just how the Graphite looks when pressed into the mold? It's not a paint, it's the pattern of the molded graphite. At least that was my interpretation. They had that on the 21 Prestiges as well. I think it looks interesting.

Or replace the lighter one by black. But would maybe be too close to current PJ.

These very orange-sh paint jobs I don’t get. I like the current paint job. Navy /orange. Black /orange as well like the old pure storm

Honestly they need to get away from the yellow/black paintjob for the SX series, it looks horrible and it's just a transparent copying of Babolot's use of that color scheme for spin rackets.
I wish all would drop the yellow scheme..
Switch the spin rackets to green.
Hi all,

This is weird because a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to have chance to see and have a hit with the new 2025 SX 300 and Tour. I've seen the finished paintjob that is coming beginning of next year, a rep brought them in.

They're changing the colour scheme a little to have a bit of green. There's still yellow but it's mostly green now, with a bit of darker green accents thrown throughout. I liked it, it reminded me a little of a café's wallpaper with an Amazon theme but it looked good, not too loud. I looked to see if I got a pic of it but sadly I only managed to get a bad pic of the bags in the background of one.

I have the cropped image below

Ezone are confirmed to have new generation in Jan 2025. No news so far for Vcore but most likely 2026 considering Yonex has a 3-year cycle now.

Yes. And Percept will get a new paint.
So it seems Yonex now does new paintjob after 2 years and new line after 3 years.

Interested to hear in what way ??
The reviewer who is already testing them is a "tennis friend" of mine and we message quite often about the newest updates etc. and he himself mentioned that the design of the new V3 Clash "doesn´t really shine" in nice words...Since Wilson created some very nice designs in his last releases of Blade, Ultra and Pro Staff too (at least I liked it), this Clash V3 is a bummer...

So you are referring to the cosmetic ??
