HEAD Radical Pro 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 370 g it sits in the standard weight window.
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.

From the maker.
A double layer of carbon fiber on the hitting surface increases stiffness and strength, which supports control and touch. The upgrade also includes a new drilling pattern that enhances control, along with improved Control Foam which is lighter and has a drier and stiffer impact feel, and new Auxetic 2.0 technology for sensational impact feel. Refreshed with a new design, the RADICAL PRO 2026 has the new Soft Cap + technology with an exchangeable cord system while keeping the soft material in the butt cap.
