HEAD Radical Motion 2026 Padel Racquet

Take full control of your game with the HEAD Radical Motion 2026, the lighter and more maneuverable sibling to the Radical Pro. Designed for advanced and tournament-level players with a tactical, rhythm-controlling play style, this racquet delivers exceptional precision, comfort, and responsiveness.

With its teardrop shape, low balance, and reduced weight, the Radical Motion 2026 is effortless to swing, easy to position, and highly effective both in defensive situations and when accelerating forward to finish points at the net. Its upgraded construction includes a double-layer carbon hitting surface for increased stiffness, superior touch, and enhanced control.

The racquet also features a new drilling pattern for an extended sweet spot, improved Control Foam that offers a drier and firmer impact feel, and Auxetic 2.0 technology for unmatched feedback and connection on every shot. Finished with a fresh premium design, the Radical Motion 2026 includes the upgraded Soft Cap + system, offering an exchangeable cord that can be customised or removed for cleaning.
