Head Radical Tour EX15 2026 Pickleball Racket

Introduction

Discover the Radical Tour EX15 2026 pickleball racket from Head, a sup designed for demanding players seeking a blend of precise control and masterful power. Designed by HEAD PADEL, this 2026 edition builds on the “Tour” DNA of the Radical line while adapting it to the needs of modern pickleball: responsiveness, comfort, and a premium finish for competitive players and advanced players looking to improve their game.

Materials

The Radical Tour EX15 2026 combines a carbon/graphite composite face for a stiff and responsive hitting surface with a polymer core made of poly honeycombe (PP), optimized for excellent trajectory control. The frame is reinforced with a carbon reinforcement to improve stability upon impact and durability. The materials were selected to offer a good balance between feel, energy return, and resistance to deformation.

Weight

The Radical Tour EX15’s weight falls within a performance-oriented range, typically between 225 g and 240 g. This weight allows for great maneuverability at the net while providing enough inertia to generate powerful shots from the baseline. The weight distribution is optimized for a control-oriented balance without sacrificing acceleration.

Shape

The racquet features a slightly elongated shape to widen the sweet spot and enhance ball penetration at medium to high speeds. This geometry provides a larger hitting area for powerful shots while maintaining good accuracy on volleys and slices. The frame profile has been engineered to offer good lateral stability and consistent energy return.

Playing Style

The Radical Tour EX15 2026 is designed for versatile to advanced players who prioritize control and precision but also want a reserve of powere when needed. Ideal for tactical rallies at the net, well-placed volleys, and topspin shots, it’s well-suited for competitive players looking to dictate the pace of the game while being able to punish opponents’ errors with powerful shots.

Technologies

This racquet features a high-honeycombe polymer core optimized for controlled bounce and progressive energy return. The carbon/graphitee face has a textured finish to improve grip and spin. The carbon-reinforced frame increases torsional stiffness for stable impacts and precise feel. An internal damping system reduces vibrations for greater comfort and reduced muscle fatigue during intense sessions.

Design

The Radical Tour EX15 2026 features a modern, understated design, combining matte finishes with contrasting accents for a professional look on the court. The graphics highlight the “Radical” signature with dynamic lines and clear “HEAD PADEL” branding. The ergonomics of the handle and grip have been carefully engineered to ensure a secure and comfortable grip, suitable for long training sessions and competitions.
