Which rackets play most close to Ti Radical MP

[MichaelChang]

hi guys, need some advice to find the rackets to replace my Ti. Radical MPs, which is no longer in production. So, without going through the hassle of finding Ti Rads on the auction site, I just want to find some other rackets that play close to that. Any advices? Thanks. To me, Ti. Rad MP is light (compared to other head mid or MP player rackets), and dense string pattern.

Try some Fischers if you can stand the grips

Which Fischer?

If you like the Ti Rad, I'd say stick with it because there isn't really anything out there with those specs that is better. I still see them all the time on the bay. The Fischer's are good, but heavier. Plus you got those flat grips to deal with.

n blade?? is surely a great choice

I had the same problem 3 or 4 years ago.. I even posted a topic like this I think :mrgreen:

But unfortunately as stated above, there is nothing currently available that is the same as the Ti. Radical MP.

I currently use the nBlade, it's a step in the right direction, but it definately doesn't play the same as a Ti.Radical MP, the nBlade has a mucht higher swingweight.

You could however, try the new kBlade. On paper it has a considerably lower swingweight than the nBlade, so it's more like the Ti.Radical MP. The kBlade (on paper) is a little stiffer, but I never felt the Ti.Radical was as flexible as the specs said. I haven't played with the kBlade however, so I can't tell from own experience.

Otherwise you could try the Fischer M Pro #1 98 light. Plays a little like the Ti.Radical, but with more power and again, the flex feels very different from the Ti.Radical.

Furthermore, on paper, the new Dunlop Aerogel 300 comes close. Haven't played with that either however.

I played with the Aerogel 300 and Pro#1 Light. The AG is a heavier, nice swinging racquet. Powerful, comfortable, good spin. The one i got was 324g. The #1 Light had the lowest swingweight of a decent club level stick I've ever used (like a 300G). My slices and volleys flew a little but other strokes were fine. It was pretty comfortable, like an O3 racquet, but with a more feedback. You'd need to put lead on it. Didn't try the tour one. In general I'd suggest more flexible racquets, but I don't have a particular Fischer in mind. Maybe Pro Kennex, etc?
EDIT: Yeah, the Fischer grip is VERY square.

The T-fight 320 plays pretty close. IT is a little heavier, but the balance evens that out. Also, the Dunlop Mfil 200 16x19.

MichaelChang, if you'd like a BRAND NEW Ti Rad MP, please email me. I have one in my collection.

 

[jasonchu]

I havent found one that is similar .. even amoung the Head Radical lines since LM, FXP, or MG.

which is why when i sold my TiRad's I never went back to the Rad line.

Good luck, and talk to Anirut -- excellent source.

Did you try the i. radical? Also the nBlade is similar although it feels stiffer. The Ti radical is a titanium based racquet so you might want to look into that. I am sure you can still find a few on the bay.

Thanks to all!!

Tennisguy777, I don't think they really put "titanium" into the racket. It is still the old graphites and some twaron maybe.
