Head Radical Motion 24

The Head Radical Motion 24 is built for advanced players who want precise, consistent control without sacrificing too much power. If you already have solid technique and you're looking for a racket that rewards clean ball striking, this is worth a close look. It is not aimed at beginners or intermediate players still developing their swing mechanics.

The teardrop shape sits between a round and diamond, giving you a sweet spot that is generous enough for off-centre hits while still letting you generate pace when you need it. At around 400g, it sits on the lighter side, which helps with quick reactions at the net and reduces arm fatigue during long matches. The medium balance keeps the weight centred rather than pushed into the head, so the racket feels stable and easy to manoeuvre. Medium hardness means the frame absorbs some of the impact on each shot, which is easier on the arm than a stiff diamond racket, and it gives you good feedback on touch shots and volleys.

If you play an aggressive baseline game and rely heavily on smashes and power drives, a diamond-shaped, head-heavy racket will likely suit you better. The Radical Motion 24 is at its best in the hands of a player who reads the game well, plays with variety, and wants the racket to respond accurately to what they ask of it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this racket suitable for beginners?

No. The Radical Motion 24 is designed for advanced players. Beginners and improvers will get more from a racket built around forgiveness and easier power generation.

Does the medium hardness affect durability?

Medium hardness frames are generally reliable for regular play. The flex in the frame is a design choice for comfort and feel, not a sign of reduced build quality.

How does the teardrop shape compare to a round racket?

A teardrop sits slightly higher in balance and sweet spot position than a pure round shape, giving you a bit more punch while keeping control manageable. It is a good middle ground for all-court players.

Is 400g too heavy for recreational play?

For advanced players, 400g is on the lighter end and should feel comfortable. If you are newer to the sport or have a history of arm issues, it is worth trying before committing.
