Head Radical Team 2026 padel racket

Enhanced control and touch!

Head presents the Radical Team 2026 padel racket, a model designed for players seeking manoeuvrability, 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 esprit.

This racket builds on the foundations of the Radical range, but sets itself apart with its fibreglass frame, offering a softer feel and better vibration dampening compared to carbon.

The Control Foam core delivers a precise, comfortable ball touch, allowing optimal control on every shot.

With a weight of 355–360g, it is particularly manoeuvrable and well-suited for fast exchanges and movement around the court.

Meanwhile, Auxetic 2.0 technology reinforces the frame structure and enhances energy return upon impact, ensuring a perfect balance between power and control.

Positioned between the handle and the face, the Smart Bridge stabilizes the racket and optimizes energy transfer according to your playing style.

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

This year, the racket comes equipped with a detachable wrist strap—practical and hygienic, easy to remove for a quick wash or simple replacement.

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

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

Technologies built into the Head Radical Team 2026 padel racket: 

Control Foam 

Exceptional control that you can feel with every shot. Control Foam technology optimizes the hitting area to give you a better feel when striking the ball.

Fibreglass

Fibreglass is a lightweight, flexible material. It delivers excellent playing comfort, effectively absorbs vibrations and provides a softer touch on the ball, while remaining durable enough to ensure longevity and manoeuvrability.

Graphene Inside

Auxetic 2.0

An evolution of Auxetic technology, this version reinforces the frame's resistance against opposing forces generated on impact. Dynamic deformation provides a more direct, comfortable feel and increased power without sacrificing control.

Tailored Tube 

The tubular structure is engineered independently on each section of the frame, allowing for precise stiffness adjustments. This enhances the overall strength of the racket as well as its responsiveness.

Smart Bridge 

Optimized Sweet Spot 

The drilling pattern is strategically designed to widen the sweet spot. This delivers greater consistency, even when the ball is not struck off-centre.
