Radical Elite

The HEAD Radical Elite is a standard-shaped paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The fiberglass face is often associated with improved feel and control. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5-inch grip, it's suitable for players seeking a lighter paddle. The swing weight of 112 is on the lower end, contributing to maneuverability. The 4.25-inch grip circumference may be better suited for players with smaller hands. The paddle's spin rating is 2.5 out of 10, placing it in the 9th percentile. Its twist weight is 6.6, with a rating of 5.7 out of 10, falling into the 70th percentile. This suggests decent stability on off-center hits. The Radical Elite may be a good option for beginner to intermediate players looking for a balance of control and maneuverability. While the lighter weight enhances maneuverability, it might limit power generation for some players. The shorter grip may not be ideal for players who prefer or require a two-handed backhand.
