Head Radical Team 2026 Padel Racket

Improved control and feel!

Head presents the Radical Team 2026 Padel racket, a model designed for players seeking maneuverability, comfort, and control on the court.

Its dynamic orange and dark green design gives it a distinctive visual identity while staying true to the Radical spirit.

This racket builds on the foundations of the Radical line but stands out with its fiberglass frame, offering a softer feel and better vibration absorption compared to carbon.

The Control Foam core provides a precise and comfortable feel at impact, allowing for optimal control on every shot.

Weighing 355–360g, it is particularly maneuverable and well-suited for fast rallies and movement across the court.

Auxetic 2.0 technology, meanwhile, reinforces the frame’s structure and improves energy return upon impact, ensuring a perfect balance between power and control.

Located between the handle and the head, the Smart Bridge stabilizes the racket and optimizes energy transfer based on your playing style.

Thanks to Tailored Tube technology, each section of the frame is engineered independently to enhance durability, consistency, and overall performance.

This year, the racket features a detachable wrist strap that’s practical and hygienic—easy to remove for a quick wash or simple replacement.

Finally, Optimized Sweet Spot technology, with its new drilling pattern, strategically repositions the holes to expand the ideal hitting zone.

It provides better ball feel, increased control, and enhanced consistency, even on slightly off-center hits.

Technologies integrated into the Head Radical Team 2026 Padel racket: 

Control Foam 

Exceptional control you can feel with every shot. Control Foam technology optimizes the sweet spot to give you a better feel when you hit the ball.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass is a lightweight and flexible material. It offers excellent playing comfort, effectively absorbs vibrations, and provides a softer feel at impact, while remaining durable and easy to handle.

Graphene Inside

Auxetic 2.0

An evolution of Auxetic technology, this version enhances the frame’s resistance to opposing forces generated upon impact. Dynamic deformation delivers a more direct, comfortable feel and increased power without sacrificing control.

Tailored Tube 

The tubular structure is engineered independently for each section of the frame, allowing for precise adjustment of stiffness. This improves the racket’s overall strength and responsiveness.

Smart Bridge 

Optimized Sweet Spot 

The string pattern is strategically designed to expand the ideal hitting zone. This provides greater consistency, even when the ball isn’t perfectly centered.
