Video overview

The Head Radical Motion is a medium-balance teardrop racket built for intermediate players who want controlled power and a faster, more comfortable swing than heavier models offer.
- Shape: Teardrop, a balance of control and power that covers every part of the game.
- Level: Suits intermediate players.
- Face: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: Medium, an even feel between quickness in hand and punch on the ball.
- Weight: 360-370g, a middle-ground weight most players adapt to quickly.
- Standout: Auxetic 2.0 technology strengthens the frame on impact, adding both power and frame stability without adding weight.
- Value: Lighter and more manoeuvrable than the Radical Pro, giving you the all-round game without the arm load of a flagship racket.
- Control Foam Core: A lighter, firmer foam that enlarges the sweet spot and gives you better feedback on contact. You feel where the ball sits on the face, making it easier to place shots like the bandeja and chiquita with repeatable precision.
- Double-Layer Carbon Surface: Two layers of carbon fibre on the face deliver rigidity for power and durability for the long haul. The firm surface converts your swing speed into faster ball speed without going soft after a season of play.
- Auxetic 2.0 Technology: The frame material strengthens and stabilises on impact, adding both power and structural durability. You get a more solid feel on off-centre hits and the frame holds its shape longer under hard use.
- Carbon Framework: A carbon frame construction keeps the racket rigid through the swing, so your power goes into the ball rather than flexing the racket. It also adds durability where the frame takes the most punishment.
- New Drilling Pattern: The updated hole layout fine-tunes the sweet spot for better control on touch shots and placed drives. You get tighter response where precision matters most.
- Soft Cap + Technology: Dampens vibration at the grip, reducing shock transmitted to your elbow and wrist. Noticeably more comfortable over a long match or training session, and less injury risk if you play frequently.
- Interchangeable Cord System: Lets you swap out the wrist cord quickly for hygiene, safety or personal preference. A small detail that makes regular racket maintenance simpler.

How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
