HEAD Radical TEAM 2025 Tennis Racquet

The HEAD Radical TEAM 2025 is the lighter, more forgiving, and highly maneuverable entry in HEAD’s iconic Radical lineup. Built for all-court playability, it expands the head size to 102 sq. in. and lowers the static weight to 280 g, offering an ideal bridge between player-generated control and effortless depth. Updated for 2025 with Auxetic 2.0 technology extended into the handle, it delivers enhanced vibration dampening, crisp power, and optimal connected feel on every shot.

Performance Profile

1. Maneuverability & Handling: High. At 280 g (unstrung), the frame swings fast and easily through the air. This light swingweight allows developing players to generate head speed effortless from the baseline and react quickly at net.
2. Sweet Spot & Forgiveness: Excellent. The enlarged 102 sq. in. head provides a noticeably larger sweet spot compared to the 98 sq. in. Radical MP or PRO, making off-center hits retain depth and trajectory control without harsh feedback.
3. Control & Trajectory: Balanced. Incorporating HEAD's dynamic Control Pattern (denser center main strings in a 16x19 grid), it keeps launch angles predictable while giving you the accuracy to place balls precisely.
4. Comfort & Touch: Outstanding. Featuring Auxetic 2.0 and a moderate stiffness rating (~63 RA), shock on off-center contact is smoothed out, offering an arm-friendly response and direct feedback on touch volleys.
5. Power: Accessible. The thicker variable beam (22/25/23 mm) offers more built-in pop and trampoline effect than the standard Radical MP, assisting players with medium-paced swing speeds in pushing depth.

Best Suited For

1. Rising Intermediate Players: Hitters looking to step up from beginner frames to a true all-court control-and-spin racquet without taking on the heavy static weight of a tour frame.
2. Juniors Transitioning to Adult Frames: Young competitors moving to their first full-length adult racquet who need quick handling and a broad target zone.
3. Club Players Seeking Comfort & Speed: Doubles and singles players who want a quick, forgiving frame that reduces arm stress during long matches.
4. Players Transitioning from Light Frames: Anyone who wants the signature Radical versatile control profile with added forgiveness and pop.
