The Racquet Behind the Racket.
What made Agassi, Murray, Fritz, Stephens and Schröder so Radical in their endorsement?
Tennis isn’t just about talent. It’s about grit, power, precision—and having the right weapon in your hands. The best players forge a connection with their racquets, molding their style around its strengths. As we celebrate our 75th year of making high-performance tennis equipment, we look back at legends like Andre Agassi, Sloane Stephens, Andy Murray, Taylor Fritz, and Sam Schröder who endorse(d) the Radical Series.

Andre Agassi: A Radical Rebel.
Agassi was never your typical country club kid. He played with fire, attitude, and a relentless baseline game that changed the sport forever. In 1993 HEAD developed the original RADICAL Line specifically for Andre. He endorsed the Radical Series because for him this wasn’t just a piece of equipment—it was an extension of his rebellious, hard-hitting persona: control to paint the lines with those blistering forehands, while dictating play from the back of the court. While endorsing the radical series, he simply dominated the ‘90s, winning eight Grand Slams and proving that tennis could be played with swagger. Nice work, Andre.
Andy Murray: Radical Warrior.
If Agassi was the rock star, Murray was the street fighter. A grinder, a tactician, a player who built his career on solid, relentless endurance. During his time as part of Team HEAD, Murray was a strong endorser of the Radical Line, perfect for Murray’s versatile and counterpunching game. Unforgotten is his ability to absorb his opponents’ power and redirect it with devastating accuracy. Three Grand Slams, two Olympic gold medals, and countless five-set epics later, Murray’s game is proof that sheer willpower can lead to championship trophies.
Taylor Fritz: The Radical Powerhouse.
Big serve. Heavy groundstrokes. A game built for the modern era. Taylor Fritz isn’t here to rally—he’s here to hit winners. In 2024, Fritz became the first American to reach quarterfinals in three different clay Masters 1000 events, proving his adaptability. His style of play is an essential part of that evolution, having all the balance needed to unleash his massive forehand while still maintaining enough touch to mix it up when needed. Stand back, here comes a terrifying shot. This guy means business.
Sloane Stephens: The Radical Definition of Effortless Power.
With her silky-smooth movements on the court, Stephens blends precision and explosiveness, crafting points with her signature heavy forehand and fluid defensive skills. She endorses the Radical Line which brings her the control to counterpunch with finesse and unleash jaw-dropping winners at just the right moment. With a US Open title and a career built on resilience, Stephens proves that the right racquet can turn talent into triumph.
Sam Schröder: The Quad King gets Radical.
In wheelchair tennis, power and precision are everything. Sam Schröder, a dominant force in the quad division, endorses the Radical Line because it delivers both. From his stunning 2020 US Open debut win to multiple Grand Slam titles, Schröder has shown that the right mixture of power and precision, combined with sheer determination, can break any barrier.
Radical Line. The Radical Choice.
The Radical line is endorsed by other phenomenal players including Nuno Borges, making waves with his consistent play and all-court versatility. Wu Yibing’s with his aggressive game style and natural strengths, is quickly becoming a force to watch on the ATP Tour.
