Radical Tour

The HEAD Radical Tour is a standard-shaped pickleball paddle with a 15mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The graphite face is often associated with enhanced control and feel. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The swing weight is 110, considered relatively low, which may make it easier to maneuver. The 4.125-inch grip circumference may be suitable for players with smaller hands.

With a spin rating of 3.7/10 and a twist weight rating of 5.2/10, this paddle may offer moderate spin potential and stability. The twist weight of 6.4 suggests decent resistance to twisting on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players looking for a balance between power and control.

A potential strength of this paddle is the combination of the polypropylene core and graphite face, which could provide a blend of power and control. The standard shape may offer a familiar feel for players transitioning from other racket sports. A potential weakness could be the shorter grip length, which may not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands. The lower swing weight, while contributing to maneuverability, might limit power generation for some players.
