What do you compromise with radical mp
Head actually only has 3 different rackets. The Gravstige, the Speedical, and the Extinct.

This is one of the best reviews ever! I love the fact that you are completely honest about what you think of the rackets, that's not always the case with other youtube reviewers and people can tell that, that's why I think your channel will grow a lot if you continue this way.

Great review. My favorite review was the Instinct. Currently play with a Speed Pro myself.
I had watched tons of review videos of both the Extreme MP and Speed MP and could not decide wich one to get. Went to the store when i saw the Extreme in real life and i thought it looked great. Fortunetly for me they did not have my grip size so i bought the speed MP instead and man i love that racquet. The paint job also grows on me, looks like a stormtrooper!
Fab video. Great Analysis and entertaining to top it all off. Well done :)

Wow! The way he catches it with his racquet at 2:55! Impressive.
Great review, thanks ! Made me choose the Speed in the end.

Hi! Really appreciate the support 👊🏻
Incredible very thorough review.
Thank you so much for great content! After a long time and many demos I decided on the Speed MP and to be honest I’m glad you liked it as well. I complety agree with you on your comments 😊 How many kilos did you string it with? Normally I would go for 24 kilo. What grip size do you prefer? I’ve always played with a size 3 but then demoed the Speed MP in a size 2 because it was the only one in stock - and kinda liked it. Maybe it was all about the frame but I’m not sure what to choose now 😅
For beginner tennis members like us, your racket description video is very helpful. Thank you.

Nice work Karue, I would like to know what was your play tester in the vid preference as I have a one handed backhand as well and I used to play with a speed 360 pro the previous version.
Great review ! I would love to see prince tennis racquets reviews (tour/phantom/beast lines)
Great video really helpful Head have so many racquets I have recently bought a Babolat pure strike but thinking of trying Head as friend has one and feel seemed amazing
Excelent video. The comments were great. Thank you.
Just ordered a 360+ Prestige Pro, I demoed the MP but like you mentioned in the video, didn't care for the low launch angle of the 18x20. Much more prefer the 16x19 launch angle of the pro. May add a bit a of weight to it to get some more power out of the smaller frame.
Awesome review as always. Which is best for single handed backand?
Great job, really enjoyed your review, I play with Speed Pro - same reasons as yours !
So...how do you REALLY feel about the Instinct? 😅
Thx for the review. I was looking at the Speed, this just about confirms it.
I recently bought the Gravity Pro after demoing it. I love it. I haven't tried the MP.
He's baaack 💪🏼
The softness and feel of the Gravity Pro made me switch to it, but it's weird, when I adjust my stroke on the (one handed) backhand side, my forehand starts to suffer and vice versa. I've been thinking about trying the Prestige MP since the beam width is the same and the weight is somewhat close. But given that the Prestige MP swingweight is lower (around 320 vs 332 of the Gravity Pro) I would add a leather grip + Lead in the head.
lol I genuinely wanted to know about the Instinct though

With all due respect on this review Gravity Tour should be against all these MPs and not GravityMP. Have you tested Tour version ? To me it kinda shits between speed and Prestige MP. A very solid option with more feee power and easier to use than Gravity Pro.
Having used the instinct 360 MP, I was curious to see what you’d say for the newest model with graphene 360+ alas, no real mention about it which was a bit sad but near the end you did say that it was more of the odd one out given the other racquets do it better. Can I ask what was wrong with the instinct? I genuinely like the racquet and been using it for just under a year. Guess I’ll have to try the radical out which has been on my mind for awhile now!

Speed mp is fire, i was playing that racquet for a while until i switched to the new extreme tour. Just something about a 98 i like more than 100. Used to play prestige mp but as i get older i need a little more help from the racquet. Saying this indo have a prototype gravity mp in my bag that i do enjoy hitting with when im hitting with friends who are just there to have fun and hit. Love the content

Very nice review, thanks. It's a shame Speed Pro is 18x20 only, I would love to see and hear your opinion on it. I agree that new Speed MP 360+ is great, both easy power and control, both easy deep ball and light and maneuvrable, both stability and comfort, both flat and spin. It has a very wide span it seems to me, I am currently testing several racquets (2016 Head Graphene Touch Speed MP - Sinner, Andreescu, Gauff frame - Ezone Tour, and Speed Pro 360+) and Speed MP is so far my favourite.

@@rockieswin8724 Prior versions were quite head light, and stiffer feeling, so the added mass in the head was very necessary. To play normally with the above mentioned Graphene Touch Speed MP from 2016 I had to add a lot of lead at the tip of the racquet. Try it if you can somewhere.
The only minor problem is that the real weapon from Gravity line is the tour version. And how different those gravity’s play between them. Give the tour a try mate :)
Great Review Guys, i have a cuestión. I'm 28 years old and i actually used a Wilson KFactor 90 340grm and my style is agressive and go up at the net whit good Serves (Flat, Slice and Kick), a one-hand Backhand. I'm looking a control raquets, Do you recommended a Head Prestige 320gr 18x20 or a Yonex VCore 95? I don't like the vcore 97 because make me so slow to move my arm. Thank you guys
I'm hitting with the Speed MP but very interested in this new Radical
What fantastic technique you have. Amazing. One thing that should be mentioned is how racquets affect your arm and wrist. So many people (me included) got severe problems with certain racquets (in my case the Prestige with a poly) . One of the players here seems to have problems too so please mention if racquets are arm friendly or not in your reviews!

@@MyTennisHQ I am looking for a slightly less powerful and more comfortable pure strike 16x19. So I picked up a radical MP demo. It played nice, unfortunately they strung it with RPM blast at 27-28kg ! So I got right away elbow issues. Normally I would play with a hybrid or poly at low tension (±21kg). So, the demo did not give good insights in comfort. What is your experience with the pure strike and radical MP comfort wise ?
Hi, what kind of strings did you use to test those racquets ? Could Monofilamemt or Multifilament can change your feelilngs ? Thanks
Can you make a revier of the Wilson Prostaff V13 both the RF and the regular?
Great video and love the comparisons. I've played Prestige MP for the past 12 years and love it. I also have some old Radicals which are great but I prefer the feel of the Prestiges. I really don't like the cosmetics of the current models - the older models had more of an understated look which older folks usually prefer. One other thing - I never see anyone with Prestiges on the courts. Vast majority of players I see play Babolat APD or PD.
I need some help deciding on which racquet I should buy, currently I’m playing with the graphene speed pro( first one with graphene technology) and I can’t decide on buying a speed graphene xt mp and probably adding some weight(? I like the stability of the pro but sometimes I think like I need more help generating top spin with a more open pattern. The other option is the prestige tour that currently on ciber Monday is on sale like the graphene xt and have very similar price. Which one would be more suitable for me??
Nice vid man! I was hoping for a bit on the re-release of the Head Tour (the dark blue one)
Hi Karue in the video at 3:15 you mentioned radical mp 2020 but you tested the 2021 prototype right? I'm wondering do you think it is better than the 2020 radical?

It would be cool if you could replicate this video for the Pro and Tour moniker of every Head lineup. Thanks

It was the right INSTINCT to throw it in the garbage. The only non-playing aspect that I enjoyed about the instinct is the paint job. I find it looks awesome. I love blue, but the line has not been good since liquid-metal MP/XL. I think extending the instinct MP would produce awesome results. Only looking at specs and your thoughts, I think the gravity is like the prestige line in aspects of feel/control, but with a more accessible 100 sq inch head size. I loved the Prestige for the feel/control, but I could not play consistently enough with it to make the full switch. I am looking at trying out the Speed MP/Pro this spring. Thanks for the awesome video.

@@benjaminjensen111 The 2022 version of the MP is the same as the 360+ version. If you like a "power" and "spin" frame with medium stiffness, than the instinct will not fail you. I feel head has better frames, but the pricepoint is great. Do not let my opinion or others sway you from a racquet. Demo and than make a choice.
whats the stifness of the radical? is it less stiff or the same as the 2019 version?

Hi I see you launching the ball pretty high a number of times with the speed and gravity, not so much with the radical and prestige. Will you say that the speed and gravity line is not as beneficial generally for flat hitters as compared to the radical and prestige lines? I'm coming from the old microgel radical when they were still using 18x20 for the string patterns and it doesn't help that I hit pretty flat so I'm worried about launch angle.

I came from the MG radical as well. After TE injury with 360 radical, i switched to 360+ gravity, then later now using the 360+ prestige. Don't worry much about the launch angle, i can adapt to it after one month of practice. I added 2 gram of lead at 12 and strung it with hyperG 17g at 51, launch angle is not a problem at all. I can probably go for 18g next time.
What is in your opinión the best Head raquet for clay? Thanks
Wish u do the gravity pro
Good morning, I have a question. Some say that stiffness determines whether one racket is more powerful than another, but others say that it is the power scale or psi that determines it. If you can clarify that for me, I would appreciate it, because it happens that the radical, for example, has 65 RA while the speed pro 2022 has 61 RA, which suggests that the radical is more powerful but when you look at the power scale, the radical has 200 and the speed pro 300 suggesting that the speedpro is more powerful. Thank you very much for answering .
Which one is easier on the arm, the speed mp or the radical mp?
What do you think about Speed mp S compaired wirh Speed Mp? I am a senior club player ,over sixty,playing ,3 times a week ,on clay Grazie

Never hit with the ezone 100. But from my experience with the speed, I think the MP is the better option for what you are looking for
Anyone with their experience if they can suggest how one can compare this Head 360 Speed MP against Yonex Ezone100, Tecnifibre tfight 300RS, Head 360+ Gravity Tour. I am 37, average built, started playing last year, now looking to move from beginner to a bit intermediate level & looking to buy one racquet for the same. After research on my end my preferred choices/ options are Head Gravity 360+Tour, Yonex Ezone 100 & Head Speed 360+ MP. I am liking Ezone a bit more but m worried it's too stiff (I am also concerned about too much stiffness) ? Gravity is good but seems dull with very less power. Also saw a review of Tecnifibre 300 RS that also looked like another geniune option . I don't have demo options at my place. Any suggestions would be great help.
I'm torn between the speed pro and the babalot aero, i play mostly at the baseline, which do you recommend? Thanx
