Can someone post the specifications of the:
( 1993-1994 ) Trisys 260 OS
( 1995-1997 ) Radical Tour OS Twintube (gray or white/silver I believe)
( 1998 ) Radical Tour OS Twintube (yellow/silver/black/red)

Also, has anyone played with all 3?

It's hard to describe. One thing I like about the 1995 Radical was that it's very soft and buttery. The Trisys 260 has an entirely different feel. Not bad in any sort of way but very different from the 1995 Radical.

As mentioned above, post your questions in the Radical thread. You'll get more direct answers to your specific questions.

Good luck!

The only difference is the Layup between the Original Radical Trisys 260 and the TwinTube versions. This effects how the racquets will feel. Both are great racquets.

The Original is high-modulus Graphite and high-modulus Twaron fiber construction. While the TwinTube racquets are made of a "inner shell of the TwinTube is made of stiff, high-modulus graphite" with "the outer shell of the TwinTube is made of a soft Polyamide to improve both string and frame dampening.

My favorite Radical is the Radical Tour Twintube. But both are very fine racquets and you can't go wrong with either of them.

The Trisys plays a bitter stiffer, I was a little better all around. The Twin Tube played softer and flexier, wasn't as good at the net, but awesome from the baseline.

The Twin Tube still remains my favorite of all Radicals.

I recently came across 4 unused Pro Tour 690 (blue and black). They look like the LE Agassi Radical OS (yellow and black). but on mine there is no mention of "Radical". So are they in fact the same racquet but for European/Asian markets? appreciate any advice.

The Pro Tour 690 used the same mold as the Original Radical Trisys 260 Oversize/Radical Tour 690. The Pro Tour 690 just had a different layup. The Pro Tour 690 came out in 1994 and in the U.S. was called the Pro Tour 280 Oversize.

thank you for the above. would you happen to have specs for the Pro Tour 690? I am assuming very similar to current specs listed on TW for LE Agassi Radical OS.

Hi vsbabolat, could you tell me please is there is any different and what, between the HEAD Trisys 260 OS (made in Austria) and the Radical Tour OS 690 (WITHOUT the Twin-Tube)...the very first one used by Agassi.
I supposed the first was the USA name, the second the EUROPE name.....in fact are they exactly the same or not?
thanks

Yes, the Radical Trisys 260 Oversize made Austria was the USA name. The made in Austria Radical Tour 690 yellow and black is the same fame just different marketing for Europe

Trisys was a marketing name for a swing style rating. The higher the number longer the swing you needed to generate power. The lower the number the shorter the swing and the racquet was more powerful. It ranged form 150 to 300 That is the Trisys System. Isn't marketing great!?

Ahh my bad! Yes I meant to say which one would you guys prefer between the Bumblebee and the CandyCane. Thanks for the clarification

Both are very good, just different. The twin tube candycane and zebra have a softer, more plush feel. The bumblebee is more direct.
