SPECIFICATIONS:

Skill Level

Expert

An expert player competes at a professional level, with full control over every shot and a high ability to read the game. They adapt strategies during the match, using the full height of the front wall to dictate the pace. Their strong mental resilience allows them to handle pressure from opponents effectively.

Player Type

Tactical Player

A strategic player who prioritizes consistency, patience, and a mix of pace and control, forcing errors by playing to the backcourt and gluing the ball to the sidewall. They attack selectively, using holds and mixing pace. Positioned deeper on the T-line, they play long rallies, minimize errors, and control the game’s pace. They vary their shots with lobs, holds, angle changes, boasts, cross-courts, and drop shots.

Racquet Benefit

Ultimate Speed

Power is generated through the speed of the player's movement, translating into powerful, precise impacts without losing touch with the ball. The "all-rounder" power that maintains control.

Shape

Slimbody

The slimbody design features a thinner beam, offering slightly less power but providing a more direct feel during impact and making the racket easier to maneuver.

Weight

Midweight

146 g / 5.2 oz

A balanced mix of power, stability, and control, making it the most versatile option. Suitable for all playing styles, it offers stability on shots while remaining maneuverable for technically correct play, making it ideal for most players.

Balance

Head Light

335.0

Weight is concentrated closer to the handle, enhancing control and maneuverability while reducing demand on the player. It allows for quicker reactions and easier returns of difficult shots. Ideal for tactical players who focus on longer rallies and strategic placement to control their opponent's movement.

String Bed

Longer Main Strings

Deliver more power thanks to a stronger trampoline effect. The ball rebounds faster and picks up more speed off the string bed, helping you hit with greater force.

Construction

High Modulus Carbon.

TECHNOLOGIES:

Auxetic 2.0

Auxetic engineering gives a unique experience compared to non-Auxetic constructions. Due to their internal properties, Auxetic constructions expand when a "pull" force is applied and contract when squeezed. The bigger the applied force, the bigger the Auxetic reaction. The Auxetic cage means you feel the impact right when and where the action happens, it is the ultimate connection between player and racquet.

Graphene Inside

Refers to Head's use of Graphene, the world's strongest and lightest material, within the construction of their tennis rackets to improve performance. The Graphene is strategically placed to optimize the racket's weight distribution, enhance energy transfer, provide greater stability, and improve power and control. Head has developed several versions of this technology, such as Graphene XT, Graphene Touch, Graphene 360, and Graphene 360+, each with advancements in how Graphene is integrated to achieve different playing characteristics.

Stringbed X-Tension

The groove in the upper part of the frame enlarges the space where the strings are able to move during ball contact. This enables an extended use of the trampoline effect and creates more acceleration.  It gives you the extra power and ball speed you need to excel in your game.

AFP

More power or more control - now you can have it all in one squash racquet. The new Adaptive Fan Pattern (AFP) technology allows you to choose between two different pattern depending on your individual style of play and personal needs. You can choose between the straight string pattern to maximize your power game and the special fan-shaped pattern to optimize your ability to control the ball. The new AFP technology is available in the new Radical & Speed racquet series.
