The Head Radical Motion gets an excellent update for 2026, offering increased maneuverability and a more stable feel throughout contact. The Radical Motion is one of the more user-friendly teardrop frames out there, with its 260 mm balance and 355 gram weight. Its teardrop profile offers an excellent blend of power for overheads and smashes while still having a generous sweet spot for reliable spot-targeting. The Double Carbon hitting surface offers reliable spin production while remaining powerful enough for putting shots out of reach. Increasing comfort in the handle, Head's Soft ButtCap+ technology makes for a softer impact sensation without sacrificing connectedness to the ball. Internally, Head's Control Foam improves stability and comfort throughout contact while also increasing dwell time. To boost structural rigidity, Head uses a Smart Bridge connecting piece across the throat of the racket. Elsewhere, the strategic inclusion of Auxetic 2.0 boosts both comfort and stability throughout contact, using auxetic fibers that stretch wide where normal materials would otherwise become compressed. We found the Radical Motion to be aptly named, as its speedy nature translated seamlessly to good movement and action on the ball. In particular, our team liked this racket when serving, cutting through the ball with ease and consistency. For a lighter weight frame that perhaps has more to offer than anticipated, consider the Radical Motion for its ease of play and high ceiling.
