Another good video. Funny how you just uploaded a video on this racquet. Literally was at a tournament and during practice someone enthusiastically informed me across the fence that the new Radicals are the 'racquet to get' on the market. The edition before I was not fond of at all but I used to use a 2016 Radical MPA 98 sq inch which was ok.
Can only agree when you say the Radicals are more a tournament players choice. This is more so the case when you notice how few Pros even use it or endorse it. I have nearly never seen a Radical at open or lower level pro tournaments and rarely at club competitions even.
Do you think this new Radical Pro would suit well for 1-handed back? And is there any other racquet similar with a 18x20 pattern? Surprised they dont try 18x20 also as Tecnifibre does.
Yeah, there is lots of things that surprise me to. The lack of variability in string patterns, the lack of 100 inch2 version and so on. But that's the beauty of marketing. It's just my idea but I believe, if they would make Radical MP with 100 inch2, it would be their best racket to go with if you are at good intermediate and advanced level. It would be the perfect MP. But It would damage the other rackets like Extreme MP, Speed MP, Gravity MP and so on. They would become obsolete. The Radicals really have it all if you are serious about tennis. I would also welcome 16x20 versions or 18x20 versions for sure to make them little bit more precise. But again, that would probably go against the Prestige line. So it's all about making the most money with the biggest lineup of rackets possible. And Head is for sure making the most rackets out there.
The Pro version for my taste is too slow during the swing for a one handed backhand. Somehow the balance and overall manooovrlbity is too complicated. You need the second hand to really control the frame. Sadly the balance is 315 mm. I would suggest they make it at 310 mm for the 315 g Pro version to make it more manooovrable. But again, this would probably go against some of the Prestige rackets. The MP feels better for one hand in my opinion.

Everything in this unsustainable self-destructive corporate 'world we live in' is becoming more materialistically homogenised(homogenisation works better in the organic not the inanimate) and planned inferior. I swear if you a few others, someone with access and or skills to racquet construction and a investor who wanted to see proper technology be more easily accessible to the player came together and formed a co-operative that your racquet production would be superior than a large chunk of what is on sale.
I was not that impressed(plushy feel that was it) with the new v8 Blade when it came out and the Wilson Ultras were not worth releasing.
As for Head, agreed on the Speed and Gravity, however I dont think it would make the Extreme obsolete as Extreme MP seems to be more topspin inclined and easy to use at least from my experience compared to the Radicals. Was not a big fan on Extreme on the volleys and on serves its inferior to the v7 Blade 98 18x20. I do agree that a Radical 100 would end the Speed and Gravity even though there is claims that the new Gravity Pros are one of the best racquets made especially for 2023.
''The Radicals really have it all if you are serious about tennis''
Well to say I am serious about tennis is an understatement and I have not had that positive experiences with Radicals especially the previous edition. I think they suit 2-handers and perhaps then if one is 2-hander they should try Radicals. For a future racquet review video I would like to try Radical MP and Pros and hopefully they work out better than my last experience as I am on the look for a better racquet not to mention string setup.
''but again, that would probably go against the Prestige line. So it's all about making the most money with the biggest lineup of rackets possible''
Who though is actually using the Prestige's? How many players from club to semi-pro to pros are using or endorsing them? I very rarely see Prestiges anywhere and besides Cilic and Karatsev there is next to nil using it in top 100. Maybe there is a top junior using it but I nearly never see Prestiges at clubs or tournaments. So if Head came out with a 98, 99 and 100 that was precision tournament player based then how could it not be a overall positive move?
''The Pro version for my taste is too slow during the swing for a one handed backhand. Somehow the balance and overall manooovrlbity is too complicated.''
Thats a shame but kind of what I expected. How would one customise the Radical to make it more one-handed friendly in your opinion then?
I bought new MP on the next day, and now I am learning to play the song :)
Hahaha - love the intro song, it's hilarious!!! 😂
Best review that I’ve seen. Thank you!
I love all your reviews! After seeing this I picked up the Radical MP and I love it with all of my heart. Thank you for doing what you do!
Thank you so much! 😍
Your videos are longish and quirky, but when I listen to them I end up learning a lot and find them really insightful - this is another good one - thanks!!!
And I thank you for your patience and for the support. I always enjoy doing things properly and that takes time, also for the viewers. But the one who can listen is the one who can learn. Enjoy the manooovrlbity!
Best RUclips Channel ever🎉🎉🎉
You’re singing.. I’m dancing, bro…. 😂😂😂🎾🎾🎾Kudos to the most creative creation and creator!!!!
Thank you John. Special rackets deserve special treatment. Raindrops keep fallin' on my head...😉
Great song!
This song is so great:)
Thank you. Melody comes from the song "Raindrops keep falling on my head". It just kicked in when I was thinking about the rackets and finding the best melody. I like the original song very much, it's a classic.
Excellent review! and love the singing :). Hope to see your prostaff v14, x review soon, and possible to compare these 2? I want to switch to radical pro, prostaff v14 or maybe ezone tour, you suggestion will be really appreciated!
Wow best intro summary ever
That sounds like you like it a lot. I enjoyed doing it. Thank you. 👍
The thumbnail clip is hilarious hahaha
Thank you 😀
Guts to sing your review!
Thank you Larz. Well, it took me like 10 attempts to do it the right way. I really like the original song "Raindrops keep falling on my head" and this fits perfectly to it.
love all the Tecnifibre stuff behind your back
Thank you. It's my little Tecnifibre wall. I don't really have space or extra room for shooting videos so I did it in my living room. It has been there for last three years and I leave it there no matter who comes in. I'm a Tecnifiber ambassador with a contract and I really like what they are doing, getting better every year with Daniil as the biggest star.
@@CzechTennisGuy just bought iso305...outstanding
@@DragonFly525 The ISO 305 is fantastic. Great players stick with super plush and at the same time crisp feel. Really unique on the market.
First, been waiting for so long for this review.
You were fast, like super fast! Thank you for watching.

Can't I unhear that? Just kidding, you got talent. In reviewing sticks.
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. Which Which string do you recommend for the head radical mp 2023? Thanks 😊.
Thank you. I recommend any medium firm polyester string from Head or other companies. It depends on your style and taste. Head Hawk Touch, classic Head Hawk, Head Hawk Power or Head Lynx Tour.
Similar string pattern to an Ezone 98 2022 7th edition, you will have to try to get spin but you can get a lot of it if you good enough but it allows you to flat the short out as well.
I would argue it really does matter if you get the Pro or MP because there is room to modify the MP with the low 300 unstrung weight without making the static weight too high once its counter balanced.
Great video!!!! One question…. Do you prefer the head radical 2023 or babolat pure aero 2022? Thank!!!!
Thank you. I prefer the Radicals 2023 a lot more. They suit my game better - more control, precision and feel. I don't like the Pure Aero 2022/2023, something feels off for me.
hahaha...the song from spiderman! I rewatch the cut scene from time to time
I don't know if this melody is in Spiderman, but it's actually based on a song from 1969 - B.J. Thomas - Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raindrops_Keep_Fallin%27_on_My_Head RUclips: ruclips.net/video/_VyA2f6hGW4/видео.html
watch this clip from Spiderman 2 ruclips.net/video/nL8hVXSDmNM/видео.html the context is this is right after Peter Parker quits being spiderman to focus on school and being happy with his personal life. The first time I heard this song! Sam Raimi was the director. Thanks for brining that song back for me. ah the memories! @@CzechTennisGuy
The song fits perfectly there.
In regards to the Radical MP Aux and the Extreme Tour Aux. Which racket do you believe has more dwell time? In other words... which racket does the ball stay on the stringbed longer?
For my taste which is surprising, the dwell time for me was longer when using the Extreme Tour. It feels softer compared to Radical, which is actually weird, because more control oriented rackets are usually softer and power rackets are stiffer. But for these two frames, I feel it's the opposite. And according to Tennis Warehouse numbers, it is true.
I ve been playing with a blade v8 18x20 for 10 months and im still having some problems on spin and power. Do you think a radical mp will help me on that? Thanks and great video!
Definitely yes. More opened string pattern is always better for easier spin potential. You can also try the Extreme MP/Tour rackets which have even higher spin potential.
Your Channel should renamed in to Tennis Nice Funny Guy 😂🎉❤
:-D probably. Thank you for your comments and support.
Without a doubt the most original and honest tennis reviews. Would prefer if it wasn’t so long though. 10 mins would be better in my opinion.
Thank you. I know, it's way too long, but it's the way how I process the info with all the details and I enjoy it. That's why I put timestamps under the video so people can jump where they exactly want.
10 mins is a bit short. I think 15 mins at least gives the time for a more wholistic review
@@CzechTennisGuy Your style is good, and long is OK -- there are many short reviews that cover the same specs over and over again on youtube.
How do you compare the Artengo TR960 control tour 16x19, with the Radical MP 2023 and Ezone 98 2022?
They are different. I still think the Artengo has a more classic feel that reminds me of Pro Staff rackets. There is not much going on in terms of advanced technologies, the frame feels pure and raw. You don't really feel any helping hand there. On the contrary both Radicals and Ezones feel like they are enhanced so they have some helping tech inside that boost the overall performance. For some people it's better, but for other people who want the classic uncontaminated feel, the Artengo is the racket to try.
Exactly what I'm going to ask but I add Wilson Ultra Pro v4 16x19 in my racket of choice and it's like a refined TR960CT
Keep up the great reviews, is the radical mp more powerful than the boom pro, which one do u prefer
Thank you. Surprisingly I prefer the Boom Pro for overall easy hitting experience. The Radical is let's say too radical in exposing your own errors. It's a great racket for advanced and tournament players, but you must train regularly to keep up with the rackets performance all the time.
Thanks for the reply I’ve just hit with a boom pro and really liked it , was thinking of trying radical but won’t now , now it’s what strings work best , keep up the great reviews 👍
hi 🙌 is the mp 360+ more manooverable then the auxetic? i got the radical mp auxetic and i feel a lack of manuevarability
Hi, the specs are the same so it shouldn't be less manooovrlble. Check the swingweight of both rackets on TW website based on their reviews, maybe that's the reason.
Nice Video! I have been playing blade v8 18*20, and I feel the power is a bit lower so I want to try radical. The swing weight and swing speed of blade v8 is ok for me, and I am not tired after playing 2-3 hours. And I am 2-handed backhand player. I am now a bit confused whether I should choose mp or pro. Could you give me some advise? Appreciate!
I mean that maybe my power is a bit redundant for blade? I just want to take full advantage of my power. 🤔
by the way, I prefer flat strike(that is why I choose blade 18*20 hhh)
Hello! How would you compare this racket to the tecnifibre tfight 305 iso? What do you recommend?
Hi, that's not easy to say. It depends on how strong player you are. The Radicals are easier to swing with, but at the same time the sweetspots feels smaller. 305 ISO is super stable, very powerful but also it's more demanding in terms of the swingweight. So if you can survive the 305 ISO's swingweight for 2 hours, it can become your best friend. Otherwise the Radicals are overall great players stick that are easy to pick up and play with. But it takes time to master both of these rackets. It also depends which Radical you are talking about. I would go with the MP version, it has more free power and the swing speed is faster with it.
@@CzechTennisGuyThank you for reply! Yeah, I mean radical mp
my friend, please tell me? what the better for you? head ET AUX or this Radicam MP AUX? Thx)))
For me, Extreme MP/Tour is better than the Radical, easier to use and super fun to play with. But even better feels the new Gravity 2023 Auxetic. Review coming up very shortly, so stay tuned and subscribe.
I agree on the grip shape. Btw, it happened to me too with that loose end of the base grip on Prestige. I tried to mask it with overgrip but the feel and maneuverability was worse. I am actually curious if it happens due to style of wrapping or if it is just Hydrosorb Pro problem...
This really shouldn't happen. I think the grip had a bad pin that pins the grip to the handle, you know the small steel staple.
@@CzechTennisGuy There is no pin for the base grip. It holds on the glue. But the glue on this praticular grip has smaller width thank on other grips.
@@abcd-fs2de There is always a pin at the very beginning of the grip, sometimes there are even two pins. For my Radical, only 1 pin there. But the pin is only at the first 1 cm of the grip and the rest is only glue, that's right. I checked it right now and it looks like the glue layer as you mentioned was too thin and it dried out. So it's a manufacturing issue.
@@CzechTennisGuy A send my Prestige for a grip size change so that can be the reason that the base grip had no pin, maybe by mistake. Do you somehow apply this pin when changing the base grip?
@@abcd-fs2de I usually leave the pin there with the main grip and I change only overgrips. But when I change the base grip after some time, I remove the pin and I put it back on the exact position so the base grip is holding there better. Because when you have overgrip on the base grip, it puts additional pressure to it so it is better that the pin is holding in one place.
Hi,
how is the comfort to the Yonex Vcore Pro 100 300?
Hi, the Vcore Pro 100 feels plusher (softer), less crisper, but overall more solid.
Hi ! Between radical mp and extrême tour which do you prefer? They seems very similar
Hi, for me the Extreme Tour seems more enjoyable and easier to play with. Radical MP is great for sure, but the skill required to use maximum potential of the frame is little bit higher compared to the Extreme Tour, which feels more enjoyable overall.
@@CzechTennisGuy yes interesting i like the extrême but sometimes It IS not stable. I will try radical and inform!
@@romainalbertcorsi I agree. The Extremes are not that stable at some moments, especially the Tour feels less stable than the MP version.
I dont think the flat part of the frame is the issue. The problem in maneuverability is more at the 4 pt HL . Too much weight at the top of the head. I am OK with that cos my Ezone Tour is the same.
Yeah, good point. Also the wider head and the longer throat makes feel like the head is more away from the handle which slows down the swing little bit and makes it just tiny bit harder. These rackets feel more like Prestige than Extremes, which is not a negative at all, it depends on what do you want and expect from the racket.
@@CzechTennisGuy make sense
I still like to play with a Radical TI Midplus 1999, should I try those out?
Trying a new racket never hurt anyone. So go for it, both are great rackets.
Nothing is on the market better than the Austrian made TiRadical MP!!!
@@ciprianporumb693 I'm starting to think that's true lol sticking with the ones I got for a bit longer lol
what string you use for the racket?
Head Lynx Tour 1.25 mm in orange color.
@@CzechTennisGuy I found that Lynx Tour orange feels TERRIBLE, have you tried other strings in this racket? I tried it at 48 and 52 and both felt absolutely horrific. Since I've tried HyperG 18, Razor Code 1.2, multi/revolve hybrid, multi/dunlop explosive tour, poly tour rev, TAAN 8600, and they've all felt FAR better than Lynx Tour Orange
@@kungfutennis First of all, I love your Kung Fu ball icon, it's great! I tried my favourite Tecnifibre Black Code 1.28 mm around 52 pounds and it goes really well with this racket.
Do you shoot slingshots?
No, not anymore 😀
I wonder how many of us know what song that was?
Such famous and beautiful song or at least the melody should know everyone on this planet. Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head 🎸
Hello ,do you prefer Radical 2023 or Wilson Clash V2
Hi, that's a tough one. I really liked the Clash V2, I think it was a huge improvement over the first generation - everything was done better with this update. But Radicals are generally more capable rackets from the control and precision perspective. I depends on what you want - if you want brutal power and impressive spin, Clash is a lot powerful racket. But if you want more traditional players stick, Radical's are the one to go with.
Thank u so much❤
ПрЮвет гитарюга!! Ты неправильно ракетку держишь!!🤣🌸🤣
I'm gonna save you some time. Start @ 2:00.
Your videos are FAAAAAR too long. Nobody is gong to listen to this for 40mins. Just get to the key points in less than 10mins if you want people watch.
I know but I create the videos for myself. It's important to me how I make it. The audience is just a nice bonus. If someone is truly passionate and truly wants to get into the same mood and feel like I have, he/she will watch the most of the video. Who wants quick, fast, sensation info, has plenty of other channels to watch.
Not really. You make good comments that other channels don't have but its buried amongst the padding!
Surely it's up to him how he makes his videos and then it's up to you if you want to watch it. It's not up to you to tell him how he should make his videos
isn't this AUXETIC just marketing?
Nope, it's not, I guarantee. You can also read more about it on the official Head.com page. Very interesting info: www.head.com/en/rs/stories/auxetic-the-science-behind-the-sensational-feel
In testing the Radical did you have any issues with directional control? How did it perform when you changed a shot's direction? Predictable?
Surprisingly the directional control wasn't that good as I expected to be. I struggled little bit with the long line shots. Cross courts are great. When you push the opponent constantly in the cross direction, the racket is overwhelming. But changing the pace from cross to long line wasn't that smooth. I didn't have that confidence going long line with these rackets as I feel the really precise targeting is not that great. I blaim the head shape for it and the denser 16x19 string pattern, which requires you to hit it in the sweetspot to gain the precision, otherwise you are too wide. I feel that the 18x20 pattern with wide spacing would be much better for these rackets.
