New for 2022 - The Head's Popular Tour Series now comes with a choice of Graphite (GR paddles) or Composite (CO paddles) hitting surfaces. The Graphite version weighs in at 7.9 ounces while the Composite version is 8.1 ounces. It is generally said that a heavier paddle with a composite face is better for power (Force = Mass * acceleration) and that, for control, a lighter paddle with a graphite surface is ideal.
The Radical Tour CO is made for the powerful player who needs stability as well. In addition to its composite hitting surface, it features the new Control Stabilizer Technology (CST) for added stability during powerful rallies. HEAD's Composite Hitting Surface (CHS) combines a soft feel and more power for added comfort, while the Comfort Grip System ensures a tremendous feel and enhanced vibration dampening.
Technologies Used:
- CST - HEAD's Control Stabilizer Technology optimizes the torsional stability of even the lightest paddle.
- OTC - HEAD Engineers have Optimized the Tubular Construction of the polypropylene honeycomb core to create perfect playability, feel and sound for all levels of play.
- Extreme Spin - HEAD's Extreme Spin Texture offers a better bite on the ball for increased control and spin.
- Comfort Grip - Specially formulated EVA material has been inlaid into the new Ergo Grip creating a softer feel that dampens vibration for ultimate comfort and playability.
