The HEAD Radical MP Palm Tree Crew (PTC) edition is a limited-edition collaboration between HEAD and Palm Tree Crew, the lifestyle brand founded by DJ Kygo. Endorsed on tour by American star Taylor Fritz, this frame pairs a vibrant, tropical-inspired aesthetic (featuring custom pastel blues, purples, and palm graphics) with the updated performance specs of the 2025 Radical MP.
Known as "The People's Frame," the Radical MP is built for versatile, all-court performance players who hit a wide variety of shots.
Performance Profile
- All-Court Versatility: Exceptional. The Radical MP is designed to balance power, control, and spin seamlessly, making it effective whether you're rallying from the baseline, attacking on the rise, or finishing points at the net.
- Control & Trajectory: High. Featuring a tighter dynamic main string spacing in the sweet spot (Control Pattern), it provides a lower, highly predictable launch angle for driving flat shots and precision target hitting.
- Feel & Shock Absorption: Crisp and plush. Upgraded with Auxetic 2.0 technology built into the bridge and handle base, it offers superior impact feedback, improved stability, and excellent dampening on off-center contact.
- Spin Generation: Solid & Manageable. The 16x19 string pattern combined with a variable beam profile (20/23/21 mm) gives reliable spin potential to shape shots with depth and heavy bounce.
- Maneuverability: Very Good. At 300 g unstrung with a 4-point head-light balance, it feels quick through the hitting zone and responsive during fast volley exchanges.
Best Suited For
- Intermediate to Advanced All-Court Players: Hitters who construct points creatively and need a versatile stick that handles offensive drives, defensive slices, and touch volleys.
- Flatter, Precision Hitters: Players who prefer driving through the ball rather than hitting ultra-high loop clearance.
- Collector & Style Enthusiasts: Tennis players looking for a distinct, limited-run frame that breaks away from traditional paint jobs with Kygo’s signature tropical aesthetic.
