Touch Radical Pro Cap Grommets

[DanS]

Hi,

I was wondering when you guys will be getting the cap grommets in for the 2017/18 Head Graphene Touch Radical Pro. Head's website said they are an option on this racquet, same as they were on the XT model. Also, are they only going to be available in black, or will they have a clear option available?

Just a thought, but does the Touch model have the same drill pattern as the XT version? If they are backwards compatible, I will just order those.

Thanks in advance!

Hi DanS,

There isn't a cap option for Touch Radical Pro available. However, the XT cap grommet should be able to fit, but we haven't tried it to confirm.

Thanks,

Hi Tiffani,

This is from there website:

"Created with the versatile all-court player in mind, the new RADICAL series offers the perfect combination of power, control and spin for all player types. Thanks to the introduction of the innovative Graphene Touch technology, the RADICAL PRO now offers an incredible touch and a solid dampened feel. Recommended by Andy Murray, the most aggressive racquet of the series also features a new exciting design and an upside-down logo execution that perfectly represents the silo's versatility. If it is even more power you need, then you will love this heavier frame and the fact that this racquet can be equipped with a longer pro-player cap for a very powerful and unique feel."

I didn't see the standard grommets/bumpers listed on TW either.

Touch/Graphene Radical MP/Pro/Rev Grommet Clear $6.95 8+

I found the standard grommets. Oddly enough, it is listed together with the Graphene Radical instead of the XT. The XT actually has it's own separate listing. It looks like they went back to the original Graphene string pattern on these? They don't list the Touch model on the cap grommets though! lol

The Touch radical is the exact same mold and drill pattern as the XT. they will fit.

OK, cool... Thanks for the info! I really wish you could find clear cap grommets like the IG Radical had, which would make sense since the stock grommets and bumper guard is clear.

I think HEAD trying to pretend that is what Murray is doing. HEAD is trying to come up with something that looks close to Murray's PT57A in the new Radical spiderman paint.

Hello.

I want to purchase the full Black Cap Grommets for the Head Graphene XT Radical Pro how I know on the options which is the full Cap not just the regular?

Thank you.

The description for the set will also say "CAP"
e.g.
Head Graphene Radical MP/Pro/Rev CAP Grommet Orange
Head Graphene XT Radical Pro Grommet CAP Black

Yeah I´ve seen the options on the list but is a bit confusing if is just the single cap one that come originally from the fabric or it is the full Cap like mentioned.

Thanks for the advice.

Not sure what you are asking. The CAP sets normally are fully capped guard and side strips. I have seen frames with only the bumper guard piece capped, but those have to be probably created from different grommet sets. Maybe @mad dog1 can chime in.

I got it all clear now

Thanks for the help !
