Comments: Since my January 7, 2022 review, here are some more observations: First, the racquet setup is unstable against harder variety balls like ProPenn, Penn Tour and Penn Ti. My setup was super bouncy, and it was impossible to control balls that my opponent was hitting with heavy topspin. This was a racquet setup issue since this didn't happen with my spare racquet, the Liquidmetal Radical. Second, I have since had to add about 6 grams in the handle and a second overgrip, in order to improve the playability of this racquet for serve and volley. Third, I now feel that this racquet should be played with a soft poly like Head Sonic Pro. Lastly, my playing weight is now around 335 grams and 6 points head light. Still a decent racquet.

Comments: I love this racquet! I demoed about a total of 12 racquets over a two month period when searching for a new racquet. Loved my old Prince racquets, but they no longer made them, so I was forced to find new that was close to what I had. Of course I started with Prince, but was not feeling it. Reading Tennis Warehouse's reviews about the Head racquets made me explore them based on my game style. I am an all-around court game player who loves to drop shot and spin the ball, while at the same time like to hit deep shots from the baseline. The Head Radical MP can comfortably do it all. I feel like I have a lot of control with this racquet, and like it's an extension of my right hand. It's a solid all-around racquet that's well balanced and fun playing. I highly recommend it.

Comments: I was playing with the Gravity MP and felt that I was missing velocity on my ground strokes. So I decided to try the new Radical MP and I have loved it. 
From: Felipe, 1/28/22

Comments: I was looking for a replacement for my Radical Pro Graphene Touch racquet. I've been a Radical Pro user since the Microgel days, but decided to demo both the 2021 Radical Pro and the 2021 Radical MP. The Pro felt heavy but the MP felt just right. Maybe because I'm getting older (71), but the MP felt more maneuverable than the Pro but still has the same solid feel. The MP has great touch at the net and produces solid ground strokes. And my serve has a little more power and spin than it did with the Pro. I am very happy I switched to the MP.

Comments: I have been playing with this racquet since August 2021. I am a NTRP 4.5 player, 50 yrs of age, and about 61 kg. All court game. Grip 4 1/4, strung with Head Lynx @ 50 lbs. This racquet is excellent for the modern game. It's got just the right amount of power and stiffness. Very precise on almost all shots. Very good at the net. Great off the ground, good spin potential, good doubles racquet as well. But this racquet has some issues as well. It has a double handed backhand bias - meaning it's better suited to players with a DHB. If the head size of this racquet were to be reduced by about 2 sq. inches, it would be perfect for both the SHB and the DHB. Secondly, specs wise, this would be even better if the swing weight were to be about 318 instead of the current 326. Thirdly, the stiffness of the racquet needs to be brought down by about 3 RA points. I think the best Radical MP of all was the Liquidmetal version, IMHO. Head should have just upgraded the material technology on that same mold, and should have kept the same specs. I think they will make that change in the next upgrade. But still, this is a very good racquet. It's been impressive despite its limitations.

Comments: Great balance and feels very solid while playing.
From: Jon, Chicago, 11/14/21

Comments: Very nice and balanced feel overall with great control for ground strokes and volleys. I'm very happy with my purchase.
From: Jonathan, Dallas, TX 11/9/21

Comments: Extremely solid and versatile racquet for intermediate levels and up. Swing weight is quite beefy, but it makes for excellent stability. Racquet is more on the control side, but still with decent power and spin. I can't get as much spin as I do with the Head Speed MP, but substantially more spin than a racquet like the Prestige or Pro Staff. Sweet spot is very big. Great baseline and net racquet.
From: Anonymous, 10/1/21

Comments: I am a 4.0, and have been playing with beefier frames since the original Prince Original Graphite, to most recently the Head Gravity Pro and Head Pro Tour 2.0. After turning 30, my endurance hasn't been keeping up and I decided to go with something lighter for a new racquet. After doing extensive research, I landed on the Head Radical MP and with a leather grip it fit the bill for my play style. I am an all-court player with a one hand backhand, and the Radical MP has a generous, but controllable amount of power and spin. I have Solinco Hyper G 16L strung at 52 lbs. It's an eye sore, but it's hard to beat this combo at the moment!
From: Don, California 8/8/21

Comments: I purchased a Babolat Pure Strike 100 3rd Gen in March, but never was able to fully get comfortable with the racquet. As a result, I did racquet research, demoing a bunch of different racquets (Yonex Ezone 98 Tour, Babolat Pure Strike 16x19 3rd Gen, Prince Ripstick). The EZONE Tour was out of my spec range (although it has a great feel to it), and I didn't like the feel of the Pure Strike 16x19 3rd Gen, Ripstick, Head Extreme MP or the Head Speed MP. I did really like the feel of the Prince Textreme Tour (310), but after 5 minutes of hitting with the Radical I knew it was the racquet for me. I get lots of effortless topspin on my forehands, it feels good with my one-handed backhand and I love how it feels hitting backhand slices. I ended up buying two of these, and the two I received were the exact same weight - don't know if that is a sign of good QC on Head's part or if I got lucky. I've tried two string setups: Solinco Confidential (17g) in the mains/ Solinco X-Natural (16g) on the crosses and Solinco Hyper G (17g) on the mains / Solinco Vanquish (16g) on the crosses. Both setups used a Sergetti pattern with 53 lb reference tension. I am definitely preferring the Hyper G / Vanquish setup and plan to use this going forward. The swing weight with this setup and a head dampener is 323. If I have one complaint, its that Head doesn't offer replacement Hydrosorb Pro grip in the gray/silver color. I've been using Wilson Pro Cushion overgrip instead and it has been fine. In summary, the Radical is a great all-around racquet that I highly recommend.
From: Jason, 7/31/21

Comments: I've been playing with the Radical MP, strung with 17g Cyclone at 48 lbs, for about 6 weeks now. My previous racquet was the Prince Textreme 100 (310). The design of the Radical is interesting because it is light (just 300g), but has a substantial 326 swingweight. The feel is crisp, but not hard on the arm (and that is with a full bed of poly). I find it possesses nice plow through without compromising the maneuverability. The Radical MP swings more easily than the Head Gravity Pro. In my opinion, it is more powerful than the Radical Pro and Prestige Pro, with the Prince Textreme 100 (310) feeling similar. Overall, I would say this is a versatile racquet most suited to the all court player.

Comments: I arrive to this frame after I played with Blade 98 v7 16x19 and Wilson Clash 98. I also had a Pure Strike Project One7, but did not like the stiff feel of that racquet. I've also demo'ed a bunch of other tweener and player frames in 98 and 100. Overall, Radical MP is far more precise than the Clash 98. Crisper and more powerful than Blade 98. In my opinion, it is much safer (really) on the arm, slightly more maneuverable and equally controllable and precise as Pure Strike 98 Project One7. The 2021 Radical MP in general is a versatile, accurate and comfortable racquet. Definitely a frame for a well rounded 3.5 and above player. Probably a 4.0+ to really appreciate it. It is amazingly accurate on the serve. With Tecnifibre Triax, it is also completely fine on the arm. Great on all other shots. Good power, good precision, good spin (not insane, though). As for the color, I would have never considered such a radical and loud orange colored racquet before, but it plays so well that I think it is actually cool. This is a very good frame. I strung it with Triax at 55lbs. I am 3.5/4.0 rec all round player.

Comments: I have been playing the latest Speed MP (Stormtrooper) for most of the year and have been really happy with the way it handles. Only issue was getting the string tension correct as the Speed, for me, could get a little launchy. But overall the Speed is a great racquet. Not too stiff, and it is powerful, easy to generate spin, and awesome backhand slices. As for the Radical, I have played/tried every generation going back to the YouTek IG Radical Pro. But, from the Graphene XT forward, I thought the Radical was only getting worse as Heads seemed to be struggling to find the right distribution of graphene so that the racket performed well. I really liked the first gen Graphene Radical Pro, but the XT, Spider Man/Touch, 360 were just all over the place, with the last generation being so awful that it made me swear off the line. But as the reviews started coming out for this newly redesigned Radical I did my best to ignore them, but then I started seeing more and more of them in league play and at my club. The reviews were really positive, but I wasn't totally sure if it was marketing or reality. So I demoed one. Right off the bat I was really impressed. The sweet spot was back. The added weight (thank you, Head, for making the MP very consistent across all lines), the feel of the 360+ and the overall performance compared to the Speed was, to me, a bit more controlled and more focused thanks to the rounder 98" head size. I have been playing it with ALU Power for about 2 weeks now and each time I use it I like it more and more. Club pros see it and say "That is a great racquet!" I guess the word is out that Head thankfully returned the Radical back to its former glory. I still carry a Speed or two but they've been playing understudy to the new Radical. Wish the cosmetic was at least partly glossy like the Speed, but I will survive. AWESOME racquet that does everything really well.

Comments: This racquet is best for the versatile player looking for a crisp response accompanied by lots of spin and moderate power. A great new update from the previous version, offering even more versatility at net and around the baseline. I am in love with this new version of the Radical MP! Currently, I'm a 4.5 player who has been playing with the radical MP since the Youtek days and these racquets just keep getting better and evolve with the modern game. I have tried switching to the Wilson Blade 16x19 to see if they were similar but nothing beats the feel of the radical line, the Wilson Blades are so muted now but the radical line still offers that crisp, responsive feel that every player should look for. Highly recommend this racquet.
From: Max, 6/2/21Dennis, MA, USA

Comments: I'm a recently retired weekend warrior type looking to get into tennis. With so many racquets to choose from, I viewed Tennis Warehouse Racquet recommendation video for my ability level. I demoed the Wilson Blade and the Head Radical MP. I liked the feel of the Head so I bought it. I'm playing 5 times a week and loving my racquet. As a developing player it's a racquet that will grow with my abilities.
From: Greg, 5/29/21Valencia, California, US

Comments: I've played with the 2015 version of the Wilson Blade 98 16x19 since it was a new frame. I never could find a replacement that felt like my racquet. I've liked plenty of newer frames over the last few years, but none nearly enough to switch from the Blade. Until this new Radical MP. I tried it because it is the closest thing on the market to my Blade's specs, and I was not disappointed. It swings the same, but has a bit of a firmer feel without sacrificing actual feel of the ball. Plenty of spin. Tons of stability for defensive shots and returns against hard serves. Light enough to maneuver, but hefty enough to give power. Overall more powerful than the Blade was, but with similar control. Serve pace increased immediately. The other variants of the Radical MP usually felt too light or unstable, that was corrected with this iteration. Strung at 52 pounds with Head Lynx Tour 17 gauge. I'm a 5.0 level all-court player, in my 40s.
From: Danny, 5/4/21

Comments: This is a great racquet for someone who's a 3.5 or 4.0 NTRP, perfect for the younger player that can accommodate a stiffer frame, 65 RA, and who can benefit from the leverage this frame provides to generate depth and power. It will help achieve short term directional control, and variety, definitely will help execute aggressive serves with confidence. With time and patience the racquet will become more familiar, and help the player win long rallies.
From: Gabriel, 4/28/21

Comments: Plays like a Pure Strike with a tad more comfort and is a tad easier to swing with slightly less plow through. I'm not against neon colors, but I just wish it wasn't so monotonously orange, will be waiting for a cosmetic update.
From: Anonymous, 4/22/21

Comments: I have been playing with the last three or four generations of Head Radical MP. After a shoulder surgery I felt I needed a racquet that would demand less work and effort, with a lighter swingweight etcetera. Got Yonex EZONE 98. Great and easy racquet, but overall I needed more stability and firmness. Got back to a Head Radical MP 2021. Stupendous! It is smooth, stable, firm. It provides power, control, and touch!
From: Juan, 4/1/21

Comments: Love it! I have the Radical MP from two generations ago. This one seems easier to swing, better to control, and maybe a tad more power. I like the stability on volleys and good depth with groundstrokes. My serves seem better spin and power. Plus good feel. I use Tecnifibre NRG2 17 gauge string, strung mid range. I did try the Radical MP that came after the one I have, mostly dark grey and orange on throat personally, I didn't care for it. So, when I demoed this one, I was amazed at the difference, I was sold! I've gotten plenty of positive compliments on the paint job. Therefore, high fives all around for this racquet! Thank you for the incredibly quick turn around when I ordered this racquet! I got it in two days.
From: Ann, 3/25/21

Comments: I am an older player, 70 plus and playing for more than 50 years. I have been playing with a Prestige S for about five years. I did a demo with the new Radical MP and fell in love with it. Easy power, a bigger sweetspot, and only a slight drop in feel and control. I am still experimenting with string and tension, but my game has improved noticeably. I give the Radical a thumbs up!
From: Robert, 2/25/21

Comments: I used to really think Head racquets were mediocre, but I started playtesting these Graphene 360+ frames, namely the Prestige line, and was blown away by the performance. I demoed all of the 2021 Radicals when they dropped and ended up picking this one as my new frame. Just effortless depth on groundstrokes and massive serves. It seems like no matter what I do this racquet just pulls the ball down into play, super access to spin. Keep it up Head, I think you are currently making the best racquets on the market.
