Head Radical Pro 24
Head Radical Pro 24
The Head Radical Pro 24 is a padel racket developed for advanced and competitive players who base their game on control, stability and precision, with sufficient power to finish the point when the opportunity arises. This racket is intended for players with good technique who want to build and direct the game, and who are not dependent on maximum power from the racket.
Within the Radical line from HEAD, the Radical Pro is the most demanding model. The racket feels solid and controlled and requires active input from the player. It is not a light or forgiving racket, but a model for players who consciously choose stability and control.
What type of player is this racket suited for
The Head Radical Pro 24 is ideal for players at advanced level who play tactical and controlled padel. Players who are strong in rallies, placement and defensive play, and who want to set the pace, get the most out of this racket. Players who enjoy working with volleys, bandejas and controlled smashes also feel at home with this model.
For players who need a lot of help with power or who want a light and easy racket, the Radical Pro is less suitable.
Key Features
The teardrop shape provides a sweet spot positioned slightly higher than on a round racket, which helps to generate controlled power without losing much control. The balance is in the middle, making the racket feel stable and remaining easy to control in fast situations.
The face is built from 3K carbon, providing a firm and direct ball feel with a lot of precision. This material gives clear feedback on ball contact and is suitable for players who hit cleanly and want to direct their shots.
The core consists of Control Foam, which dampens the ball exit and contributes to control and stability. In addition, the racket features Auxetic technology, which improves the feel on impact and gives extra feedback, especially on defensive shots and volleys.
Playing Feel and Performance
On the court, the Head Radical Pro 24 feels stable, controlled and precise. In defensive situations you play with a lot of calm and confidence, while at attacking moments you can generate sufficient power from technique and timing. The racket forgives few mistakes, but rewards players who play technically cleanly and consistently.
The Radical Pro 24 is therefore a clear choice for players who put control and precision at the centre and seek a racket that helps them dictate the game, without being dependent on maximum power.

Shape
Round:
Round rackets have a low balance with a large sweet spot (ideal hitting point) in the center of the racket. Round rackets are very maneuverable and offer a lot of control. Perfect for beginners or experienced players who desire a lot of control in their game.
Droplet:
Droplet rackets have a slightly higher balance and a slightly smaller sweet spot. This provides an excellent balance between control and power. These versatile rackets are suitable for intermediate players and various playing styles.
Diamond:
The balance point is towards the top of the racket and the sweet spot is even smaller. The racket is less maneuverable but offers maximum power. These rackets are suitable for advanced players with an attacking playing style.
Hybrid:
Hybrid rackets combine features of droplet and diamond-shaped rackets. These hybrid shapes are often difficult to classify or even completely new. Usually, these rackets offer a mix of power and comfort. These rackets are often ideal for intermediate to advanced players and are accessible for multiple play styles.
Game type
Controlling:
These rackets are focused on precision and consistency, allowing players more control over their shots. They usually have a lower balance point and a larger sweet spot, making them suitable for players who prefer placement and tactics over power.
All-Round:
This type of racket offers a balanced mix of power, control, and maneuverability, making it suitable for various playing styles and skill levels. They are versatile and can be used for both offensive and controlling game strategies, with a sweet spot that offers a compromise between power and precision.
Attacking:
These rackets are designed to promote powerful shots and help players generate speed and spin for aggressive attacks. They often have a higher balance point for extra power in smashes and volleys, but a smaller sweet spot for more precision and control over powerful shots.
Touch
Soft Touch:
Rackets with a soft touch provide players with a subtle feel and cushioning when hitting the ball. These rackets absorb vibrations and offer more comfort, making them ideal for players who prefer control and precision over pure power.
Medium Touch:
Rackets with a medium touch offer a balanced mix of control and power. They provide sufficient feedback to the player when hitting the ball while still offering a good level of comfort. These rackets are suitable for players looking for versatile performance.
Hard Touch:
Rackets with a hard touch provide a more direct feel and less cushioning on impact. They deliver more power to shots and promote aggressive play, making them ideal for players seeking maximum hitting power and explosiveness.
Feeling
Light Feeling:
Rackets with a light feeling offer not only speed and maneuverability but are also less prone to causing injuries and feel comfortable during long play sessions. These rackets are ideal for players looking for a sense of control without compromising on comfort and arm health.
Medium Feeling:
Rackets with a medium feeling provide a balanced combination of control, power, and comfort. They give sufficient feedback to the player when hitting the ball and are suitable for players of various levels looking for reliable performance.
Heavy Feeling:
Rackets with a heavy feeling offer players more stability and power with each stroke, but they also often feel a bit heavier in the hand. These rackets are suitable for players who prefer a solid feel and maximum hitting power, even if it means a bit of extra weight.
Blade
Smooth:
Rackets with a smooth surface provide players with a consistent and smooth hitting experience. This surface minimizes friction and promotes quick ball movement, making it ideal for players who prefer control and precision in their shots.
Sand:
Rackets with a sand surface have a rougher texture that offers more grip on the ball. This surface enhances spin and placement, allowing players to impart more spin to their shots and better manipulate the ball during play.
3D:
Rackets with a 3D surface feature a relief pattern that is three-dimensional, creating a unique texture. This surface promotes spin, control, and precision, allowing players to add more variety and spin to their shots while maintaining a comfortable grip.
