Head Radical Tour EX15 2026 Pickleball Paddle

Introduction

Discover the Head Radical Tour EX15 2026 pickleball paddle, designed for demanding players seeking a blend of precise control and measured power. Created by HEAD PADEL, this 2026 edition carries the "Tour" DNA of the Radical range adapted to modern pickleball needs: responsiveness, comfort and premium finishes for competitors and advanced players looking to raise their game.

Materials

The Radical Tour EX15 2026 combines a carbon/graphite composite face for a stiff, responsive hitting surface with a honeycomb polymer (PP) core optimized for excellent trajectory control. The frame is reinforced with a carbon structure to improve stability on impact and durability. Materials were chosen to offer a good balance of feel, energy return and resistance to deformation.

Weight

The weight of the Radical Tour EX15 is in a performance-oriented range, typically between 225 g and 240 g. This mass maintains great maneuverability at the net while delivering enough inertia to generate powerful groundstrokes. Weight distribution is optimized for a control-focused balance without sacrificing acceleration capability.

Shape

The paddle adopts a slightly elongated shape (elongated) to widen the sweet spot and favor ball penetration at medium/high speed. This geometry provides a larger hitting area for powerful shots while preserving good precision on volleys and slices. The frame profile has been designed to offer good lateral stability and even energy return.

Playing Style

The Radical Tour EX15 2026 is aimed at versatile advanced players who prioritize control and precision but also want a reserve of power when needed. Ideal for tactical exchanges at the net, placed volleys and top-spin shots, it suits competitors looking to dictate the pace of play while punishing opponents' errors with well-driven shots.

Technologies

This paddle features a honeycomb polymer core optimized for controlled bounce and progressive energy return. The carbon/graphite face benefits from a textured finish to enhance grip and spin. The carbon-reinforced frame increases torsional rigidity for stable impacts and precise feel. An internal damping system reduces vibrations for greater comfort and limited muscle fatigue during intense sessions.

Design

The Radical Tour EX15 2026 features a modern, understated design, blending matte finishes and contrasting accents for a professional look on court. Graphics highlight the "Radical" signature with dynamic lines and clear HEAD PADEL identification. The handle ergonomics and grip have been refined to ensure a secure, comfortable hold, suitable for long training sessions and competitions.
