Description
This is the HEAD Radical Team Light 2026 – the lightest racket in the new Radical range. It has been designed for those who appreciate the powerful character of the Radical series, but who physically require a racket that is as light and manoeuvrable as possible.
The racket is ideally suited to intermediate players who prioritise wrist health and speed. It is an excellent choice for:
-
Players who want to avoid ‘padel elbow’ or strain on their joints.
-
Young people making the transition from junior rackets to adult models.
-
Women or men who enjoy very quick reactions at the net, where every millisecond counts.
Weight and manoeuvrability
-
Weight: Just 340g. That’s 30g lighter than the Radical Pro and 20g lighter than the Radical Team. This reduction in weight makes it one of the most manoeuvrable rackets on the market.
-
Shape: Teardrop. Although the racket is light, the teardrop shape still allows the head to ‘accelerate’ at the moment of impact, delivering the necessary power.
-
Balance: Low to medium, which further enhances the feeling that the racket is ‘responsive’ and light.
Technology and comfort
-
Auxetic 2.0: As with the entire 2026 series, this racket features an enhanced feel on impact, providing more precise feedback.
-
Glass fibre surface: This racket lacks the stiffness of carbon. The glass fibre makes the shot softer and more flexible, and helps you ‘hit’ the ball with less effort.
-
Control Foam: Helps to stabilise the racket at the moment of impact, despite its light weight, and expands the sweet spot.
-
Soft Butt Cap: Provides additional protection against vibrations, which is essential when playing frequently and for long periods.
