Who this racket is for
The Head Radical Pro 2024 is designed for competition or pro-level players who prioritise performance and precision over comfort. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. Its 370g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
