HEAD Radical Motion 2026
Specification and verdict.
Mapped across the face.
Every measurement is taken on a 5 × 7 grid over the hitting surface and read outward from the sweet spot. Switch layer to see how the frame behaves in each dimension.
Read this before the first hit.
Where to strike, how long to swing and which side of the court it belongs on — read off the stat block and the specification, not the marketing sheet.
The compromise shape: power above centre, still usable below it.
The best contact is just above the centre; the lower half still returns the ball but with less bite.
Balance 260 mm is neutral — neither the smash nor the volley is favoured. At 355 g it is light: easy on the arm and quick, so add pace with the swing rather than the racket.
Padel handles come in one size; thickness is set with overgrips. Each overgrip adds roughly 1 mm and 5 g in the hand, which pulls the balance a touch lower — useful if the head feels slow. Keep the grip thin if you rely on wrist work at the net.
Works on either side — it neither forces you forward nor pins you back. Double Carbon face.
Skip it if you are players who want a soft, cushioned feel.
