Head Radical PRO 2024

This model targets experienced and advanced players — particularly men who already have reliable technique and want a racket that rewards precision and timing. Because of its firmer impact and medium-high balance, it favors players who mix controlled play with opportunistic attacking: those who build the point tactically and capitalise with volleys or aggressive overheads.

Club players moving into tournament-level matches, or any player wanting a step up in feedback and stability during fast exchanges, will find this racket a compelling option. Less experienced players may find the hard feel and higher balance less forgiving while they develop consistency.

The teardrop silhouette and medium-high balance push the Head Radical PRO 2024 toward the attack side of the spectrum while retaining a measure of control. That balance gives the head extra swing momentum for overheads and attacking drives, so you can generate meaningful power when you load the swing or step into the ball.

Because the racket is positioned as versatile rather than pure power, that extra velocity is delivered with a controlled character: you won’t get the ballistic output of an oversized power frame, but you will get punchier smashes and sharper finishing shots that still feel predictable.

• Teardrop shape: higher sweet spot for overhead power
• Medium-high balance: extra momentum without excessive unwieldiness
• Game type labeled as versatile — leans toward attacking point construction

At roughly 370g and with a medium-high balance, the Head Radical PRO 2024 strikes a balance between stability and handling. The weight gives the frame enough mass behind drives and volleys to feel steady on contact, while the teardrop form and overall setup preserve reasonably quick handling at the net compared with heavier, head-heavy racquets.

Expect the racket to feel responsive in faster exchanges: it won’t be the lightest around, but experienced players should appreciate the control through preparation and the racket’s willingness to sit behind precise placement and tactical shot-making.

• Approximate weight: 370g — steady but still maneuverable
• Balance: medium-high — favors controlled power without sacrificing too much agility

The head face is constructed from 3K Carbon, providing a crisp, consistent contact surface that supports control and durability. The racket uses a Control Foam core, which contributes to a firmer rebound and quicker ball departure compared with softer foams — a setup that complements the Radical PRO 2024’s control-leaning intentions.

A textured surface is present on the face, helping with bite and spin on shots that require added ball grip. Combined, these material choices deliver a firmer, more precise response that experienced players can use to shape pace and trajectory.

• Face: 3K Carbon — clean impact and consistent response
• Core: Control Foam — firmer rebound and quicker ball exit
• Surface: Textured — assists spin and shot placement
• Hardness: Hard — contributes to a firmer on-court feel

On court the Radical PRO 2024 reads as firm and articulate. The hard overall construction makes feedback immediate: you’ll know where on the face you’ve struck the ball, and the combination of Control Foam and 3K Carbon returns a quick, compact response that rewards clean technique.

That firmer feeling translates into confidence when executing precise volleys and aggressive overheads; however, the trade is less natural shock absorption than softer frames offer. Players who prefer a direct, responsive connection between hand and ball will appreciate the clarity the racket provides.

The Head Radical PRO 2024’s firm hardness and medium-high balance create a performance profile with clear strengths and expected compromises. The hard impact feel delivers precision and power, but it can be less forgiving on off-center hits and may transmit more vibration than softer models.

Because the racket is geared to advanced players, its combination of weight, firmness and balance may be challenging for those still refining technique or for players who prioritise maximum comfort and shock absorption. If you need a very plush feel or are prone to arm sensitivity, test it alongside softer alternatives before committing.

• Hard feel: great precision, less shock absorption
• 370g weight: steady but requires solid technique for prolonged control
• Advanced level: not the easiest transition racket for beginners
