Loaded with power and spin, the Head Graphene Touch Radical Pro will be a rock solid racket for intermediate to advanced players who like to control the court. With the addition of Graphene Touch, this update had more of a muted feel and comfortable response, which translated into a large, powerful sweetspot from all areas of the court for the TW playtesters. Off the ground, our team was rewarded with ample spin and the ability to play offensive tennis, yet they noted a lack in consistency and precision. At net, the racket remained solid and stable, but our team missed some touch and feel when crafting volleys. However, ample plough through and an open string pattern proved to be a lethal combination for big serves and returns, and our team started off points in an offensive fashion. All things considered, this Radical Pro will reward players who prefer power over control and aggressive hitters who don't mind opting for larger targets when pulling the trigger.

Upsides

• Big power and spin
• Solid feel

Downsides

• Erratic stringbed

Bottom Line

This racket has a very dampened feel and delivers awesome power and spin for big hitting tennis, although the response can be erratic.

Ability

Intermediate to Advanced Level

Groundstrokes - Score: 81 / 100

Big power and easy spin were the standout features for our team when using the Graphene Touch Radical Pro from the baseline. Our team has come to expect such a response from the Radical Pro, and compared to the previous version, it felt like the mass was distributed differently, resulting in more spin and power but less control. The power was very impressive as well as the feel and stability at contact, but we did note the downside to be a lack of control and precision. This was great when our team was looking to be aggressive with big targets, but it was harder when they were pressed to thread the needle.

Volleys - Score: 76 / 100

For the most part, our team found the Graphene Touch Radical Pro to play stable at the net, but they all agreed there was a lack of feel and touch. Our team seemed to agree it became frustrating in pressure situations, but they appreciated how they could command the net with aggressive volleys when playing offensively. One playtester, Chris, noted, "Obviously, putting the ball away with power was not an issue with this racket! But I didn't feel as accurate as I did with the previous version."

Serves - Score: 79 / 100

Aggressive servers who could get the Graphene Touch Radical Pro moving were rewarded with power, spin and plough. But again, accuracy was a bit sacrificed on this shot as well. Chris said, "I ended up serving to big, safe targets and taking some speed off to be more consistent." While Michelle mentioned, "I could ramp up the pace and be aggressive with first serves. I found satisfying amounts of power. I also got the ball moving well on kick and slice serves."

Serve Returns - Score: 80 / 100

With all the right tools to be a solid returning racket, the Graphene Touch Radical Pro aided our team offensively and defensively as they could redirect pace easily. It felt very solid there was a stable response on block returns; plus our playtesters found easy access to depth. "The solid response held up well to big serving, yet the racket also felt fast and easy to manoeuvre."
