The technologies built into the Head Radical Team Light 2026 padel racket:
Control Foam
Exceptional control you can feel on every shot. Control Foam technology optimises the hitting area to provide better sensations when striking the ball.
Fibreglass
Fibreglass is a lightweight, flexible material. It offers excellent playing comfort, effectively absorbs vibrations, and provides a softer ball feel, while remaining durable enough to ensure longevity and manoeuvrability.
Graphene Inside
Graphene is distributed throughout the racket's internal structure, reinforcing the frame while optimising mass distribution. The result is a more stable, powerful, and durable racket with improved energy transfer.
Auxetic 2.0
An evolution of Auxetic technology, this version reinforces the frame's resistance against opposing forces generated at impact. The dynamic deformation provides a more direct, comfortable feel and increased power without loss of control.
Tailored Tube
The tubular structure is individually engineered on each section of the frame, allowing precise stiffness adjustment. This improves the overall strength of the racket as well as its responsiveness.
Smart Bridge
The bridge located between the handle and the face of the racket allows you to adapt your power and precision to your style of play.
Optimized Sweet Spot
The drilling pattern is strategically designed to widen the sweet spot. This ensures better consistency, even when the ball is not struck off-centre.
Soft Cap+
Located at the base of the handle, the Soft Cap+ uses a softer material to improve comfort, reduce vibrations, and lessen fatigue during long playing sessions.
Interchangeable wrist strap
The detachable wrist strap makes it easy to remove the strap for washing or replacement. It provides hygiene, practicality, and comfort, while keeping the racket secure during play.
