This question has been asked in the earlier 2000s based on my searches, but I am a holdout in 2023. I tried switching to a Yonex VCore 98 for a couple years, which is a very different racquet, but never got the same feel and constantly hit long - so came back to the Ti. Radical.
Can anyone who played with the Ti./liquidmetal Radicals recommend a more modern substitute? I haven't tried the modern Radicals, but am wary of the 16x19 string pattern. Looking for something with similar control/feel but more forgiving. I am thinking Speed Pro or Prestige Pro.
I demoed the Dunlop CX 200 18x20 and liked the plush feel but may be too demanding. Didn't love VCore Pro 97D or Blade 18x20, but maybe that was because of the old strings in the demo.
