Summary

The HEAD Radical Tour CO is a standard-shaped paddle with a 15mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5-inch grip and a low swing weight of 108, this paddle should be easy to maneuver. The shorter grip may not be ideal for two-handed backhands. The twist weight of 6.55 suggests moderate stability on off-center hits. Its spin rating is 4.4 out of 10, placing it in the 20th percentile. The twist weight rating is 5.6 out of 10, placing it in the 66th percentile. This paddle may be suitable for players prioritizing maneuverability and control, potentially including beginners and intermediate players. The combination of core and face materials could offer a blend of power and control. However, the lower swing weight might limit power generation for some players.
