Radical Tour Raw PB 2024

Designed for a balanced and familiar feel, but with the control and spin of "raw" carbon texture, the HEAD Radical Tour Raw Pickleball Paddle takes the venerable Radical line up a big notch. The recognizeably-HEAD teardrop shape gets maximum USA Pickleball proportions with its 16-1/16" length and 7-7/8" width, easily weilded from its 5" long handle and tapered neck. The new carbon fiber hitting surface offers optimal grip on the ball and a soft, comfortable hitting feel resulting in very control-oriented performance. The best part of this new face material is the raised texture of the individual carbon fibers which grab the ball as it lingers, allowing you to impart spin in any direction, opening up a world of options with your cuts, slices, and topspin drives.

HEAD backs up the highly controllable hitting surface of the Radical Tour Raw Paddle with a polypropylene honeycomb core measuring 15mm (0.59") in thickness, and a midweight design averaging 7.9 ounces to help you feel confident and in control from the first point of the day until match point. The combination of the carbon fiber face and 15mm core further contribute to this confidence and control by stretching the central sweet spot, limiting power loss on off-center strikes, and reducing vibrations that can travel up your arm and cause fatigue or injury. The 5" long handle arrives wrapped in a standard tacky grip, and is offered in two different circumferences which allows you to easily build up your handle with overgrips until you reach your optimal handle thickness, if needed.

The Radical Tour Raw Paddle from HEAD Pickleball delivers "raw" spin for players who appreciate HEAD's familiar build quality and stellar reputation for quality products.
