HEAD Radical Pro Padel Racket
The HEAD Radical Pro 2026 Padel Racket is a tournament level padel racket built for tactical players who control tempo and construct points with purpose. It suits competitive club and tournament play across New Zealand, especially for players who value control but still want the option to accelerate at the net. This is the heaviest model in the Radical padel range, designed to maximise force through your swing.
With its teardrop shape and low balance, the Radical Pro offers versatility without feeling sluggish. The low balance keeps it manoeuvrable in defensive situations, while the added mass helps you drive the ball deep when stepping into attacking shots. It is easy to handle at the back of the court and reactive when you transition forward to finish points.
A double layer of carbon fibre on the hitting surface increases stiffness and strength, delivering a more precise and controlled response. The updated drilling pattern improves control and extends the sweet spot, giving you more consistency on pressured contact. Inside, the improved Control Foam is lighter with a drier and stiffer impact feel, supporting clean ball feedback for players who rely on touch and placement.
Auxetic 2.0 technology enhances impact feel and energy return, adding controlled power without sacrificing accuracy. The new Soft Cap + system includes an exchangeable cord while retaining soft material in the butt cap for comfort and reduced vibration through the hand.
If you are competing regularly and want a control focused padel racket that rewards strong technique, this is a serious option. Available in store and online NZ wide.
