Head Radical MP 2021 Tennis Racquet

The Head Radical MP 2021 (Graphene 360+) is often considered the "versatile centerpiece" of the Radical lineup. While the Pro version targets heavy hitters, the MP is designed for a broader range of competitive players looking for a blend of power, control, and maneuverability.

Key Technologies

1. Graphene 360+: Like the Pro, this model integrates SpiralFibers in the lower part of the head. This allows the frame to flex more naturally upon impact, reducing the "brittle" feel of older Graphene iterations.
2. Control Pattern: The 16x19 string bed is designed with tighter spacing in the center. This provides the precision of a 18x20 pattern on flat shots while maintaining the spin potential of a 16x19.
3. Variable Beam Cross-Section: The beam is slightly thicker (23mm at the widest point) than the Pro version. This provides a bit more stability and "free power," helping the racquet perform better on defensive shots.

Performance Breakdown

1. Maneuverability: At 300g unstrung, the MP is noticeably easier to swing than the Pro. It excels at the net and during quick transitional plays where racquet head speed is critical.
2. Spin and Control: The "Control Pattern" makes it a favorite for aggressive baseliners who like to move their opponents around with angled topspin without losing the ability to flatten out a winner.
3. Feel: The 2021 update moved the MP back toward its "Radical" roots—offering a more connected, "plush" feel compared to the 2019 Graphene 360 version.

Ideal Player:

Recommended for intermediate to advanced (4.0 - 5.0 NTRP) players who want a "jack-of-all-trades" frame that doesn't feel too heavy over a long three-set match.
