The HEAD Radical Tour is a classic graphite paddle that was a hit among former tennis players for combining reach, lightness and a good price. It has a graphite face with texture for spin, a polymer honeycomb core and a 5 inch handle with a 4.25 HydroSorb Pro grip. It measures 16 x 7.875 inches and weighs 8.0 oz on average. The graphite face gives a quick response and a good feel for the ball, while the polymer core keeps the touch soft. It is a durable, comfortable option for those who are developing in the sport.

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.
