Head Graphene XT Radical MP A Tennis Racket [16x16]

Opt for extra spin with the Adaptable String Pattern System.

Radical creativity meets ultimate versatility in the RADICAL MPA. Just like the rest of the series it features the groundbreaking Graphene XT technology, which distributes the weight to where it is needed most for more power and an improved energy transfer. In addition, the MPA with its dynamic and colorful razzle dazzle design comes with the innovative Adaptive String Pattern (ASP), which allows you to exchange the grommet set and choose between a 16/16 and a 16/19 string pattern for ultimate string adaptability.

Please note that the racket is supplied pre-strung in 16x16 string pattern with HEAD Lynx strings. You can change the string pattern by using an alternative grommets supplied separately.

String pattern denotes the number of times mains strings (running vertically when racket is held up straight) and crosses (shorter horizontal strings) span the frame. So for example, in a 16x19 string pattern, strings will run as mains 16 times and 19 times as crosses. With 16x16 string pattern, strings traverse three times less on the crosses, leaving bigger gaps between strings. This allows the stringbed to brush the ball with more bite, creating more spin. In short, opt for 16x16 for extra topspin and power or 16x19 for better string durability and feel.
