I own the MP, but I gotta say that it laks a bit in power... I used to play with Babolat Aero Storm before, and the big difference is that with the head racket, I do have a lot softer feel and control my game way better, altough it is very hard to gain power, wich was more easier with the babolat...
I bought the MP this morning. I havent really played with it properly but I have 2 things to say . 1) It is beautifully light and comfortable and 2) the grip is great. Normally when you get a new racket they just give you a grip thats good enogh to start off with for the first few games but this grip is great. I love it!
I just got the MP this past weekend. I loved it and I'm so glad I switched over from Prince. It was gonna be head or Babolat as I was upgrading to a higher end racket. I usually only play recreationally but this racket has shown me that I have more potential than I thought. From the first time using it, it has given me an immense increase in control in both spin and direction. Love the feel of this racket and the price was right at 110 in Sports authority with $20 off coupon for a price of 90!
I've just ordered the MP i have played with it before and it's really good I got alot of feel at the net cud be due to the strings idk but overall great
The Radical Pro with Luxilon Big Banger (25-27 Kg) is perfect for baseline hitters. For those who suffer from tennis elbow...forget it, it will destroy your elbow!
I use the Radical Pro and It's great for players who hit with a lot of pace because not only can I maintain that speed, but the spin I can create also helps me to stay consistent. Great racket.
I am an intermidiate level player, and I am more of a baseline player and I like to hit hard with a bit of spin. What would you reccomend a good string hybrid for this racquet(youtek radical pro), which is durable and soft and easy on arm?. I have used luxilon alupower and it gave me some wrist problems. I like the babolat pro hurricane tour even though it is a bit old string now. Can anyone recommend me good strings for this racquet? mainly control, comfort, duration, power, feel.
I bought the radical youtek pro racquet today hurrayyy. I thought all the pros are using very head light racquets to get more swing speed. But I am surprised to find out they are only 2-3 points head light. I am using the wilson blx pro open at the moment. Can anyone compare blx pro open to youtek radical pro please???
not sure of which raquet would fit me.. which would you recomend??... I am (right now) at a begginer/intermediate point.. and hopefully, with a bit more of practice all of my "good performance" will come back.. but for that.. what would you recommend?? :)
thank you very much for all your help (with the videos, etc.)
Hi, I love the videos that you provide... I love playing tennis.. and I used to play when I was younger (I was very good at it) but that was about 13 years ago... so.. now I'm taking it back.. but.. I think that my raquet isn't fit for me anymore.. the thing is.. I'm not sure yet of my style of tennis.. so I'm
im 21 year old, i started playing tennis 6 months ago ago and i have a problem with my racquet, when i try to hit hard with it it just gets out of control and doesnt make that POP sound at all and sometimes i even get the ball off court
@ismpes your raquet is probably too powerful i dont know about u but i stay away from wilson because i find them wayy too powerful i have this raquet and it is a more control oriented but it still has a nice blend.
Buen vídeo, me gustaría que los subtitularan, ya que me gustaría saber las opiniones de la raqueta,dentro de poco tengo que cambiar mi raqueta, una babolat contac tour y quiero saber si seria buena opción cambiarla por la radical mp
I own one of these and they're actually pretty good. Heavy rackets, i think, usually feel bulky and hard to control, but this one is different. This doesnt' even feel heavy at all. It feels smooth when you're swinging and I love it! :)
Nice video, i love this racquet i have demoed this racquet, the babolot aeropro drive gt, and the pure drive gt, and out of all of them like the youtek radical mp the best because of its control, and surprisingly has a high amount of power, and also has easy access to spin. I TOTALLY 100% RECOMMEND THIS RAQUET FOR INTERMEDIATE - ADVANCED LEVEL PLAYER.
Fyb Hello, I'm Italian and I wonder if the youtek HEAD Radical Pro is for people who like me is coming out of an epicondylitis and medial epicondylitis, THANKS
I used to hit with the Babolat aero pro drive. I tried the mp out and lovedddddd it... i now use that. i get a much harder and more accurate hit with it andddd it works very well if you have a one hand back hand cuz it is even balanced. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this racquet!!!!
You know, I tried this racket out (I would say my skills are at a 2.5 level, yes, i have a lot of work ahead of me), it felt great... I mean, I have a medium build, not too strong, but likes to rip it on the baseline... o_O I like it, though are the microgel and liquidmetal sort of similar? I can't afford $190
I think that this raquet is amazing!!! I have the pro and swear by it. It took a little getting used to after comming from a lighter raquet, but the power you get with it is incrdible. I can see why murray uses it!!
Btw-the factory strings are tight, but with the closed string pattern my strings lasted about 2 months.
@olivermillen25 i have a MP with factory string i think its a crap but im not shore if they are or not.... yours broke in 1 week?? i used to broke my strings 3 to 3 months more or less...... with my old raquet but whith the mp i have it since crhistmas and the strings are dont brake.
i have the midplus and i love it i can hit ammazing shots with it from any location on the court very nice racquet my personal favorite but i do also like the old micro gel version 5 stars for great racquet, review and knowledge :)
@01sean yeah all these brands are confusing but i think i got the jist of it, the radical versions are usually orange and prestige is red. the pro versions are 16x19 string pattern
Since hard shots impact the racket very briefly and soft shots impact the racket for much longer, you get lower stiffness behavior for softer shots. When hitting hard shots impact time is short and the racket performs stiff. But for soft shots the ball impact is much longer and the racket will begin to give more than a standard frame.
Of course the racket always flexes more for harder hit shots, but not as much as a racket without this polymer (so they claim)
Guys, I have done many complex surveys on andy murrays, string pattern, weight of racket, and headsize, and results show it is neither PRO or MP, It is infact the Prestige Pro with a paintjob of a Radical MP. I have studied and surveied his racket, and this result has a 88% chance of being correct.
@jubei2008 yep, he just gets the paint job for radical. same thing with safin, he used his classic 600 frame for pretty much all variations, but had the paint job of whatever racket he was endorsing at the time, like the microgel
I just orderd the midplus with the luxilon big banger string (57lbs) which is not arm friendly. I hope it wont be so stiff because I have a onehandedbackhand.
Sorry, but there's no chance that Murray's using the Pro model... He always used the MP version since back in the day. I heard from a friend of mine that hit with him before that he actually tried the Microgel Pro in the beginning, but he got back to the MP cause he couldn't get used to it at all. Besides, the guy hits pretty flat strokes, what would fit way better in the MP patterns...
This is really a player's preference racket, I've seen reviews and I've demoed this racket. I would have to say that the feel was not quite what I wanted, I felt the vibration coursing through my arm and the control seemed non-existent. Overall, I think this racket really does perform under any circumstance, I just didn't want to hit with it long enough to find out.
try the genesis black magic, its made of softer material allows for more spin generation, and its wicked awesome, thats my opinion since thats the strings i use =]
For an intermediate player who's looking for better control but can generate decent power, which racquet would you recommend? The HEAD Youtek Radical MP or the HEAD Youtek Speed MP 16x19?
yeah you can only demo them if you live in the CONTINENTAL US i live in hawaii, i cant get shit. i can either hope i can borrow it from someone i know or just buy it.
just wondering what strings would you guys recommend on the radical mp? im most likly going to get that racket but the strings in the racket right feel weird so just wondering.
ps. the serve is great with this racket good control and great vollys!
Come on.. We both know that Murray uses a Microgel Prestige Pro... It's so obvious because of the CAP Gromets and the headsize. Please stop selling lies to people. FYB used to be about helping and not fooling.
I don't understand people like you. I don't know shit about you are talking about. Do you think they change racquet everytime they got a new paintjob?
lol motherwasp andy murray uses the radical pro, not the prestige pro. he had been interviewed a few times and has clearly said that he will be using the youtek radical pro.
and you probably believe that dont you? Andy murray has been using the same racket for a long time, the only thing that changes is the paint job(and yes, his racket IS a prestige, its only painted with a radical PJ)
no man, go to Tenniswarehouse and look it up. they have all the main pros' raquets. Safin doesnt use prestige... although its a great raquet... i got 2 but no i think he uses wilson... maybe...
I use the youtek rad mp after I couldn't find an austrian made LM radical to replace my broken one. Im a ntrp 4.5 in FL. I like the racket a lot. Very soft on my arm. Enough power to crush the ball but still control oriented. Its a players racket as Will mentioned. I think the biggest weakness of the radical line has been volleys. This racket has good touch at net. Previous radicals felt too flexy at net. If you had an off center hit . . . bad result. New youtek is more stable. Upgraded LM rad.
Just a comment about Andy Murray's racket, he actually uses a Microgel Prestige Pro painted like a Youtek Radical Pro. You can see from the string pattern and the CAP grommets.
I don't think it's a good idea for your racket to be changing characteristics from one shot to the next. Your subconscious judges your ball strike based on it's previous experiences. It's little wonder Novak has struggled for consistency since changing to Youtek.
Depends though. Yes it may not have worked for Novak as he would have hoped but it's one of those things that you need to try and see how it works for you. Like marmite some will love it while some will loathe it. :)
The "youtek" doesn't make much difference. There is so little "material" in there . . . its just a marketing scheme. Every company creates some new infused crap to spur sales. If they actually made a difference top pro's would be using them instead of using older rackets painted over as the new ones. Andy roddick for instance doesn't even use his own signiture babolat.
i own this racket, and it is awesome! i put hurricanes on it and use the shock absorber that comes with it. it performs very well (especially for my service)
I uses the radical MP with 98 square inch, level 2.5~3. I found it is especially to creat top spin with the forhand, and hard to return a good double backhand strike. the good is this raquet is soft and protective when swing with a moderate speed, and a lot control with flat hit and backhand slice and volley. however, if you swing hard and miss hit the sweet area, it damages your wrist very fast for the strong vibration of racquet. in short, it is good racquet for moderate speed practice.
Since the sponsor of the review is a racquet store, I think it would be nice to see a comparison of two racquets with the same specs but different brands
hi, first of all thx for this review, but i have a question, which one has actually more control, Head Radical MP or Head Prestige MP (since there is no Youtek Prestige yet, so assume that both racket is using microgel technology)? thx.......
@FYB2007 Will help...i cant decide which racquet to get...the head youtek speed pro or the head youtek radical mp or pro.....cause they all almost hv similar type which is more top spin n having more control....but i do not know which hits more power..help pls :) !
haha, love the enthusiasm.. i currently use the kblade tour (93) which is an awesome frame, do you think you'll switch to the kblade 98 anytime soon??
Yes, I can answer this truthfully -- we will never compromise our integretity when doing a review like this.
I could feel the racket get a little bit stiffer the harder I hit.
Regardless of this technology -- or any other -- you should use a racket you like. If it feels comfortable when you hit and you hit a nice ball, use that racket.
To add some context, I just wanna say that I deeply admire Sampras for not switching rackets (i.e. paint jobs) in his career, winning the 2002 USOpen with a racket first made in 1985.
Today, every 2-3 years the racket manufacturers invent some new magical hocus-pocus technology and I feel that this is extremely dishonest.
Hi bobomber. You're absolutely right that there is a lot of marketing involved w/these names. We're aware of that.
However, manufacturers do put a lot of thought into how they construct rackets. For example, simply putting lead tape on a racket can dramatically affect how it feels when you swing it.
So small tweaks in how you build a racket really do make big differences.
My opinion is that these manufacturers are putting out legitimate products with some occasional over-the-top marketing.

Come on.. We both know that Murray uses a Microgel Prestige Pro... It's so obvious because of the CAP Gromets and the headsize. Please stop selling lies to people. FYB used to be about helping and not fooling.

I don't understand people like you. I don't know shit about you are talking about. Do you think they change racquet everytime they got a new paintjob?

lol motherwasp andy murray uses the radical pro, not the prestige pro. he had been interviewed a few times and has clearly said that he will be using the youtek radical pro.
YouTekZerker 2 years ago
and you probably believe that dont you? Andy murray has been using the same racket for a long time, the only thing that changes is the paint job(and yes, his racket IS a prestige, its only painted with a radical PJ)

I hear that Safin uses a prestige that is painted like a current racquet also. Deceitful.

no man, go to Tenniswarehouse and look it up. they have all the main pros' raquets. Safin doesnt use prestige... although its a great raquet... i got 2 but no i think he uses wilson... maybe...

I know he uses head racquets. I've read that he uses a prestige. Either way, I want to try one. I use a head Ti S6. It's seem pretty nice.

I use the youtek rad mp after I couldn't find an austrian made LM radical to replace my broken one. Im a ntrp 4.5 in FL. I like the racket a lot. Very soft on my arm. Enough power to crush the ball but still control oriented. Its a players racket as Will mentioned. I think the biggest weakness of the radical line has been volleys. This racket has good touch at net. Previous radicals felt too flexy at net. If you had an off center hit . . . bad result. New youtek is more stable. Upgraded LM rad.

Just a comment about Andy Murray's racket, he actually uses a Microgel Prestige Pro painted like a Youtek Radical Pro. You can see from the string pattern and the CAP grommets.

I don't think it's a good idea for your racket to be changing characteristics from one shot to the next. Your subconscious judges your ball strike based on it's previous experiences. It's little wonder Novak has struggled for consistency since changing to Youtek.
dodododa 2 years ago
Depends though. Yes it may not have worked for Novak as he would have hoped but it's one of those things that you need to try and see how it works for you. Like marmite some will love it while some will loathe it. :)

The "youtek" doesn't make much difference. There is so little "material" in there . . . its just a marketing scheme. Every company creates some new infused crap to spur sales. If they actually made a difference top pro's would be using them instead of using older rackets painted over as the new ones. Andy roddick for instance doesn't even use his own signiture babolat.

You're wearing a Davidson shirt? That's not where you're hitting is it? I'm looking to apply to that school.
bcon4136 2 years ago
I uses the radical MP with 98 square inch, level 2.5~3. I found it is especially to creat top spin with the forhand, and hard to return a good double backhand strike. the good is this raquet is soft and protective when swing with a moderate speed, and a lot control with flat hit and backhand slice and volley. however, if you swing hard and miss hit the sweet area, it damages your wrist very fast for the strong vibration of racquet. in short, it is good racquet for moderate speed practice.

Since the sponsor of the review is a racquet store, I think it would be nice to see a comparison of two racquets with the same specs but different brands

hi, first of all thx for this review, but i have a question, which one has actually more control, Head Radical MP or Head Prestige MP (since there is no Youtek Prestige yet, so assume that both racket is using microgel technology)? thx.......

Do you believe in these make-believe technologies? Are you at liberty to answer that question faithfully?
bobomber 2 years ago 2
Yes, I can answer this truthfully -- we will never compromise our integretity when doing a review like this.
I could feel the racket get a little bit stiffer the harder I hit.
Regardless of this technology -- or any other -- you should use a racket you like. If it feels comfortable when you hit and you hit a nice ball, use that racket.
FYB2007 2 years ago
Thanks for the honesty and sound advice.
To add some context, I just wanna say that I deeply admire Sampras for not switching rackets (i.e. paint jobs) in his career, winning the 2002 USOpen with a racket first made in 1985.
Today, every 2-3 years the racket manufacturers invent some new magical hocus-pocus technology and I feel that this is extremely dishonest.
bobomber 2 years ago 3
Hi bobomber. You're absolutely right that there is a lot of marketing involved w/these names. We're aware of that.
However, manufacturers do put a lot of thought into how they construct rackets. For example, simply putting lead tape on a racket can dramatically affect how it feels when you swing it.
So small tweaks in how you build a racket really do make big differences.
My opinion is that these manufacturers are putting out legitimate products with some occasional over-the-top marketing.
