The Head Radical MP 2025 is the versatile, "all-court" centerpiece of the Radical line. Known as "The People's Racquet," this version maintains its signature balance of power, control, and spin while introducing technical refinements for a more comfortable feel.
Key Updates & Technology
- Auxetic 2.0: The 2025 version expands this technology from just the yoke (in the 2023 model) into the handle and throat. This provides more accurate feedback and a slightly more dampened, stable sensation on impact.
- Controllable Power: It features a variable beam (thinner in the shaft for feel, thicker in the midsection for stability) that allows for more pop than a traditional control frame without losing precision.
- Dynamic 16/19 String Pattern: The mains are more tightly spaced in the center for better directional control, while the edges remain open to help with spin and forgiveness.
- Graphene Inside: Strategically placed to strengthen the frame, ensuring efficient energy transfer and better stability on heavy shots.
Performance Profile
- At the Baseline: It offers a "crisp" feel. While it requires a medium-to-fast swing speed to generate depth, it provides exceptional predictability, allowing you to swing big without fear of the ball flying long.
- At the Net: The head-light balance makes it very "whippy" and easy to position for quick reflex volleys.
- Comfort: The inclusion of Auxetic 2.0 in the handle makes it noticeably more forgiving and dampened compared to the 2023 version, which some players found a bit stiff.
Technical Specifications
The MP is lighter and more maneuverable than the Pro model, making it ideal for a wider range of players from competitive intermediates to advanced strikers.
