Description

The Radical Elite is a stripped-down Radical that should appeal to players looking for a lightweight racquet that offers a forgiving blend of power and control at a more budget-focused price.

With a slightly larger-than-average head size of 102 square inches, this racquet offers a more comfortable feel, a bigger sweet spot, and extra power due to its trampoline-like effect. The open string pattern adds a lively response and makes spin easier to generate. Weighing 9.5 ounces (unstrung), it is lighter than average, providing a focus on an easier swinging experience. This lighter weight helps increase swing speed for accessible power and spin while also making net play and volleys easier. Its head-light balance further improves manoeuvrability, allowing for quick reactions, better spin, and faster whip on serves.

The Radical Elite is a lightweight, easy-to-swing racquet with a larger sweet spot for extra power, control, and spin, making it perfect for players who want a forgiving and manoeuvrable option to enhance their game. Even though it may not come with the latest technological complement of the other 2025 Radicals, HEAD has made a focused sacrifice to appeal to players looking for a no-fuss racquet to get them on court.

  • Graphene 360: Strengthens the frame, providing greater stability and optimized energy transfer from racquet to ball.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.

Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

Adult Racquets Sizing information

Grip Size Length
L0 (4") 4" (4 inches)
L1 (4 1/8") 4 and 1/8" (4.125 inches)
L2 (4 1/4") 4 and 2/8" (4.25 inches)
L3 (4 3/8") 4 and 3/8" (4.375 inches)
L4 (4 1/2") 4 and 4/8" (4.5 inches)
L5 (4 5/8") 4 and 5/8" (4.625 inches)

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
