HEAD Radical Pro Padel Racket

The HEAD Radical Pro 2026 is designed for players who want to control the tempo of the game, place the ball with accuracy, and build points with intent. This is a control-first racket with added weight and stability, giving you confidence in both defence and attack.

As the heaviest model in the Radical range, it generates power through your swing while maintaining a low balance and controlled feel, making it ideal for players who rely on technique rather than raw power.

Built for Control & Tactical Performance

Teardrop Shape for Balanced Control

The hybrid (teardrop) shape gives you a mix of control and usable power, allowing you to defend comfortably while still finishing points when needed.

Double Carbon Face

A double-layer carbon surface provides a firm, precise feel, improving shot accuracy and giving clean feedback on every contact.

Control Foam Core

The upgraded foam delivers a slightly firmer, more connected feel, helping with touch shots, volleys, and controlled placement.

Low Balance (~260 mm)

Despite its heavier weight (~370g), the lower balance keeps the racket manoeuvrable, making it easier to defend and react quickly.

Auxetic 2.0 Technology

Improves feel and feedback on impact, giving you more confidence when striking the ball cleanly.

Enhanced Sweet Spot & Stability

Updated drilling pattern and construction expand the sweet spot and improve consistency across the face.
