Easy Control. Forgiving Feel. Built for Consistency.

The HEAD Radical Team 2026 is designed for players who want a racket that is comfortable, easy to control, and forgiving across all areas of the court. It’s the most user-friendly model in the Radical range, making it ideal for players building confidence and consistency.

With a soft fiberglass face, low balance, and large sweet spot, it delivers a controlled, predictable feel, helping you keep more balls in play and improve your overall game.

Built for Control & Easy Playability

Teardrop Shape for Versatility

The hybrid shape provides a balance of control and usable power, helping you defend comfortably while still being able to finish points when needed.

Fiberglass Face for Comfort & Forgiveness

The fiberglass hitting surface creates a softer, more elastic feel than carbon, making the racket easier to play with and more forgiving on off-centre shots.

Control Foam Core

The Control Foam expands the sweet spot and improves precision, giving you better feel and consistency on touch shots and defensive play.

Low Balance (~255 mm)

Weight is positioned closer to the handle, making the racket easier to manoeuvre and react quickly during fast exchanges and defensive situations.

Large Sweet Spot & Forgiving Feel

The optimised drilling pattern increases the effective hitting area, helping reduce errors and improve consistency during rallies.

Comfort-Focused Design

The combination of fiberglass, Control Foam, and vibration-dampening technologies makes this racket comfortable and arm-friendly, even during longer sessions.
