Version · 12 optionsRadical NiteChange

The HEAD Radical Nite is the evolution of the Radical Tour Raw for those who wanted more power and stability. It has a 16.5 x 7.5 inch EX elongated shape, a raw T700 carbon face with Spin Fusion texture, a 15 mm polypropylene honeycomb core with a foam perimeter and thermoformed construction. It weighs 8.1 oz on average, has a 5.5 inch handle and a 4.125 grip. The foam perimeter enlarges the sweet spot and the extra weight helps drive through the ball on drives, with lots of spin.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%72
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
