radical fans...need help!

[newbie123]

I currently have a Ti.Rad MP and a 1997 Radical Tour MP(black,grey, yellow, red). I love hitting with the Radical Tour. However, this racquet is really difficult to find and I'm looking for something that plays similar to it. Good control, but good power. Awesome spin yet flat balls stay in. Awesome for groundstrokes, volleys, and serves. Heavy and flexible - buttery. The Ti.Rad feels too light and a little stiff and although it is an awesome stick, I much prefer the feel of the Radical Tour MP. So, is there a racquet out there similar to the Radical Tour MP?


Thanks

before trying anything else lead up your Ti.Radical to match the Radical Tour MP's weight. See if you like it more then.

You just missed one on ****. It went for like 35 dollars, IIRC.

Agree. Match your Ti to your old Rad, even tho the flex is different, and try it out while you post a few want ads on some tennis boards and see what comes your way. The '98 Rad (silver, bright yellow, black, red, and white would be an even closer match than your Ti and easier to find than the gray/yellow version.

Thanks. I did lead up my Ti Rad, but took the lead tape off. I preferred the lead tho, so I might try that again but with a looser string tension..60 feels kinda stiff. BTW, the pt280 seems similar to the rad tour in specs. Do they play similar?

I added lead tape to my Ti Rad to try to make it match my Twin Tube Radicals (yellow, gray, touch of red). It came out very
close except that the Ti Rad with lead feels just a tad duller
than the TT's.
You can work wonders with lead tape if you know what you are doing.
