I SERIOUSLY think you should try the MP version leaded up. I think it will allow you to get that extra spin and maneuverability you’re looking for while also being able to keep the racquet look and feel that the Radical gives. Either that or the PA 98! I used to only try Pro or Tour versions as well due to my level and never gave MP’s a shot but there are a lot of solid ones out there that are perfect to customize from my experience.
I second this. I just ordered some rad mps. Found it easier to use than the pro when demoing and it offered easier power. Surprisingly stable even at 300g. You should check it out with some lead to get the specs more in line with what you are used to.
@@chadallen3211 He liked the PA VS and the 100 PA in his previous reviews, so it’s not super far from what he likes. Control and extra spin. He has previously used an old Aero as well as an Extreme, which are VERY similar to the 98 Aero and the VS.
I play with the Liquidmetal version from 2003, still can't find that feel in any frame i've ever tried. Hard to believe i play with a frame my age lol.
Hey, Cade! Thanks as always for the great video! Are you still willing to demo rackets of our choice? I remember you mentioning that a little while ago. I'd really love to hear your thoughts on the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98 (my current racket of choice!).
I have the prestige mp 2021 previous 360+tour , would you say that it’s not exactly same on the power level and feel ? The cpi index on my prestige mp 2021 is 400, that’s head power index . The radical pro is 200 , and radical mp is 400.
Racquet looks great! This Radical got some mixed reviews, your review was well balanced and informative! Have you thought about adding more topspin to your backhand? just wondering. Thanks man excellent vid 🙏👍🎾💯
For landing short on the forehand, shouldn't that be an indication to drop the tension maybe 2-3lbs instead of it being an issue with the frame? Just curious how you think about that for finetuning the best setup per racket. I wonder how that behavior would change if you went 50/48lbs on those solinco strings instead
@@MPTennis i had a pure aero before and that one also had power but the radical definitely has more power I have really fast racket speed maybe that's why I wanted to be able to swing extremely fast with control but the ball is really fast with the radical. Also feels very light when you swing hard for some reason
Omg, I’ve a moment thought that you were Taylor Fritz😂😂

The PA98 is a terrible frame compared to the Radical. Night and day differences.

@@Mewborne89 Good memory and loyal sub here👌

Lol I still play with liquidmetal radical too. Interested to try the new radical with 16x19 though
Congrats on the 3k!
Thanks Javi!

I have 1-2 more rewviews coming out but I'm going to slow down because my season's starting. Maybe in the spring/ summer.
Looks like a sick racket. 315 a bit high. Maybe lead up the Mp I think?
yes agree
Great review - comparable to the Blade you'd say on Wilson's side of things?
I would say so, maybe slightly less power but pretty similar.
Ya I would say so. Less power.

Thanks. Yes, I can do it. I just like it flat. Especially indoors :)

You are exactly right. It's not everytime. However, I have dropped my current tension as well.
@@MPTennis got it! At that point, when do you decide to add weight for more power, instead of dropping tension more?
@@andrewpatterson9833 it depends on the player I would say.... But obviously I don't want to have a string tension below like 47 or anything.
@@MPTennis ahhhhh I see now. That makes sense!
Good video as always ! You have to try the ezone tour. I just switch to it with a leather grip 🔥👌🏼 the PA 98 could be a good option as well
That is what I am thinking!
PA98 is a bust. Stop the hype train!
@@chadallen3211 oh really? Why do you say?
7:27 damn that onehander’s smoooothhh
HAHA. YES🔥🔥. Fun fact I switched to one handed for like 2 weeks when I was 15. I love hitting it.
interesting racquet. I might add it to my list of racquets to test after my season ends
I agree with Charlie89.
😀👍
The MP customized a bit will fit the bill.
👀👀👀
Careful, Fritz uses an old 95 sq in Radical, not the current one.
Djokovic also uses an old school 95 sq. in. Radical.
im pretty sure, by everything you said in this video, that if you go MP and lead you gonna find what you want
That's what I tried to tell him.
You completely forgot to tell people that head renamed each frame In this line 😑 the head radical pro was called the pro before
Honestly it has way too much power for me cuz it's kinda hard to control I have lynx tour 17 at 55
Too much power??? A radical? What is your current racquet.
