HEAD Radical MP 2021 Men's Trainers

Product Information

The Radical MP followed the same pattern on the serve as it did on the groundstrokes and the volleys. The praise continued from Erik. He added, "I really liked this Radical MP on groundstrokes. It took a little getting used to at first, but once I dialed it in, this racquet was really solid off of the ground. I could get nice plow through and hit a really heavy ball with a lot of spin." Volleys - Score: 85 When it does this, the energy you’re putting through the ball is dispersed into different directions. The spin and power levels were spot on so long as you weren’t swinging too aggressively, and I found the Graphene 360 Radical MP to be more comfortable than previous versions. The Radical MP's characteristics came together nicely on Jason's serves. He said, "I felt like the maneuverability, stability, spin and control all added up to make this a very solid serving racquet. I would've liked just a tad more pop on my serves, but other than that, no complaints."

Whilst Sue agreed, “I love the colour. It would take a bit of time getting used to.. having something so bright in my hand, but at least you can see it hitting the ball.” When returning, I found a similar story. It was right in the middle of other Head tennis racquets. I generated good power and spin against second serves, and had enough stability to defend against hard-hit first serves. The Radical MP is a great tennis racquet for intermediate or advanced players looking for something a bit easier to handle. Brittany - "Players who have used the previous Radical S will not be disappointed with this update. Head made some small changes that didn't seem to affect the overall playability. Feel is slightly changed, but I found that to be an upgrade. There are not a lot of similar racquets on the market since the head size is not widely made, but I would say the Prince Warrior 100T, Babolat Pure Aero Team and Yonex VCORE 100 280 have some similar specs." However, if you play with more medium-paced swings then it could certainly be worth taking a look at.On groundstrokes, you’ll find the Radical is easy to swing, but with enough weight to get depth on your shots. You’ll have good control on offensive or defensive shots as well. Intermediate and advanced players who like to control their shots with spin and feel will like the Radical MP. It doesn’t sacrifice too much power either. Weight: The Head Radical MP weighs approximately 11 ounces (without strings). In my experience, this is a medium weight for a tennis racquet, providing enough weight to generate power while still being easy to maneuver.

Head Prestige– The Prestige is a slightly more control-oriented racquet than the Radical. Advanced players will find better touch and feel with less power.

While views varied slightly on serves, our playtesters thought the Head Radical MP 2021 offered the qualities needed to close out service games successfully. Chris had no issues settling into a nice, consistent serve. He said, "I was getting enough power on my serves with the Radical MP 2021 that I never felt like I had to work too hard. I'm not the biggest server, but my first serves had the pace needed to draw errors from the returner. I could even sneak in some aces with my slice serves wide on the deuce side. I was happy with the spin I was getting on my second serves, and I found I could keep the pace up and still maintain consistency." The Head Radical has been one of the most popular models of tennis racquets in the world for decades. String pattern: The string pattern of the Head Radical MP is 16x19, which means that it has 16 main strings (vertical strings) and 19 cross strings (horizontal strings). I used RPM Blast and this pattern provides a good combination of power and spin. Austin then moved up to the net, “I started off with a few volleys going long but once I worked out my rhythm I was finding it really easy to get my spots, getting nice depth on my volleys and closing it out really well.” Of course, there’s always the option of customization and I think that’s something more advanced players would look at.
