Summary
The HEAD Radical Tour EX Raw is an elongated paddle with a 15mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 8.1 oz and has a medium swing weight of 115, which could provide stability and power without being overly heavy. The 4.125-inch grip may be better suited for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a shorter grip. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. The 15mm core thickness may provide a blend of power and control. The relatively low twist weight of 5.56, rating at 3.1/10 and in the 11th percentile, might make the paddle slightly less stable on off-center hits. This paddle could be suitable for intermediate to advanced players looking for a balance of power and control in an elongated shape.
