HEAD Radical 120 SB Squash Racquet

The HEAD Radical 120 SB (Slimbody) is a highly specialized, ultra-lightweight squash racquet engineered for advanced, attacking players. While the 135 SB version prioritizes raw frame stability and weight behind the ball, the 120 SB centers entirely on blistering head speed, rapid deception, and maximum maneuverability.

Core Performance

1. Lightning Head Speed: The exceptionally low unstrung weight allows for instant wrist snaps and rapid reactions, making it deadly for volleying aggressively on the "T."
2. Maximum Tight-Space Clearance: The ultra-thin frame profile lets you swing cleanly right against the glass or sidewalls without clipping the frame, rescuing balls that thicker-beamed racquets struggle to reach.
3. Deceptive Attacking Play: Because the racquet maneuvers so quickly through the air, you can hold your swing longer, freeze your opponent, and flick a last-second drop shot or cross-court flick.

Key Technologies

1. Auxetic 2.0 Technology: Built into the frame’s throat structure, this material adapts dynamically upon ball contact. It offers crisp tactile feedback and a deeply "connected" feel, giving you the high-level touch needed for delicate drops and nicks.
2. Graphene Inside: Placed strategically to reinforce the frame, stabilizing the ultra-light graphite construction and maximizing energy transfer despite the reduced mass.

Adaptive Fan Pattern (AFP): Just like its heavier sibling, it features customizable grommets that let you choose your string configuration:

• Straight Pattern (14 x 17): Delivers a more forgiving sweet spot and elevated power generation.
• Fan Pattern (18 x 17): Generates optimal string friction for extreme ball control, spin, and cutting the ball.

Ideal Player Profile

• This racquet is famously associated with top PSA pros like Paul Coll. It is custom-made for the aggressive volleyer, front-court trickster, or high-tempo attacker who relies on sheer hand speed, relentless volleying, and deceptive drops rather than grinding out heavy, deep lengths.

Summary

The HEAD Radical 120 SB is the ultimate weapon for front-court specialists who love to play a fast-paced, improvisational game. By combining a featherlight 120-gram unstrung frame with HEAD's thin 16 mm Slimbody aerodynamic beam, this racquet offers lightning-quick handling. It is designed to let you delay your shots until the absolute last millisecond to deceive your opponent, and it makes digging deep, dying balls out of tight side-wall corners feel effortless.
