The new HEAD Radical series redefines control and versatility on the padel court

HEAD unveils the new RADICAL 2026 collection, a line of padel racquets designed to meet the needs of every type of player—from seasoned competitors to those just starting out in the sport.

Comprising four models, the new series combines lightness, control, and versatility, adapting perfectly to competitive players seeking tactical precision and to those who value comfort and easy handling on the court.

The RADICAL PRO 2026, the heaviest model in the range, is engineered for competitive players with a tactical, control-oriented game. Its teardrop shape and low balance provide exceptional comfort and stability, both in defense and during quick exchanges at the net. Key innovations include a double layer of carbon fiber on the hitting surface, a new hole pattern for enhanced control, next-generation Control Foam, Auxetic 2.0 technology, and a soft cap with an interchangeable strap at the base of the handle

Meanwhile, the RADICAL MOTION 2026 is ideal for advanced and competitive players looking for a balance of precision and maneuverability. Its light weight and low balance ensure a smooth, controlled feel. Like the PRO model, it features a double layer of carbon fiber, Auxetic 2.0, improved Control Foam, and the new hole pattern for added stability and feel at impact.

For those who prefer a slightly softer touch, the RADICAL TEAM 2026 is designed for intermediate to advanced players seeking a tactical and balanced game. Its fiberglass hitting surface provides a comfortable and forgiving feel, while the low balance improves maneuverability. It also comes equipped with Auxetic 2.0, renewed Control Foam, and the interchangeable strap system at the handle.

Completing the lineup, the RADICAL TEAM LIGHT 2026 is the lightest model in the series. Designed for casual and intermediate players, it features a round shape that expands the sweet spot and a low balance that enhances comfort. With a fiberglass hitting surface and Control Foam, it offers an ideal mix of softness and control with every shot.

"With the RADICAL 2026 series, we wanted to offer real options for every type of player, respecting their playing style and how they experience the court. Technological innovation serves the player’s experience—not the other way around—and that was our starting point for this development."
