Head Radical Tour EX15 2026 pickleball paddle

Introduction

Discover the Head Radical Tour EX15 2026 pickleball paddle, designed for demanding players seeking a precise balance of control, power and stability. Offered by HEAD PADEL, this Tour paddle carries the Radical DNA to deliver versatility and refined feel, ideal for intermediate to advanced competitors who want to dominate rallies by constructing points or accelerating when needed.

Materials

The Radical Tour EX15 2026 combines a reinforced composite face (a blend of carbon fiber and fiberglass) for an excellent compromise between stiffness and feel, with a high-strength carbon fiber frame for increased stability at impact. The core is a 15 mm closed-cell polymer (EX15) optimized for shock absorption and controlled ball response. The materials assembly promotes durability and consistent performance over matches.

Weight

Positioned in a Tour-oriented weight range, the Radical Tour EX15 2026 features a medium-high playing weight (approximately 8.0–8.4 oz / 227–238 g) to ensure good inertia on powerful shots while retaining sufficient maneuverability at the net. This profile suits players who want increased stability and ball penetration without sacrificing responsiveness during transitions.

Shape

Its slightly elongated hybrid shape enlarges the sweet spot while maintaining a manageable balance for fast exchanges. The Tour geometry favors a generous hitting area and allows reaching difficult balls while offering precise control over placement and trajectories. Ideal for a varied game mixing dinks, volleys and topspin shots.

Playing style

Versatile with a slight lean toward measured aggression, the Radical Tour EX15 2026 is aimed at players who build points strategically but also want to finish with powerful accelerations. It excels in volleys, topspin drives and resets from the non-volley zone, while providing a precise touch for dinks and drop shots.

Technologies

The EX15 core (15 mm) provides an excellent balance between absorption and energy return for consistent ball exits. The composite face construction includes a surface texture optimized to improve grip and control of spin. The carbon frame and internal reinforcements reduce vibrations and increase stability on decisive shots, while the ergonomic handle finish enhances grip and playing comfort.

Design

The design of the Head Radical Tour EX15 2026 combines a modern, sporty aesthetic with dynamic lines and satin finishes that emphasize its Tour positioning. Subtle graphic touches and the HEAD PADEL logo reinforce the model’s premium image, offering a paddle that is as stylish as it is high-performing on court.
