HEAD Radical Team Auxetic

The HEAD Radical Team Auxetic returns for 2026 as a re-release of the ultra-popular Radical Auxetic series, first introduced in 2023. Back by popular demand, this latest stock is exclusive to All Things Tennis and continues to impress with its exceptional feel, classic Radical colourway, and perfectly balanced 280g weight—ideal for intermediate players. It also comes pre-strung, so it’s ready to play straight out of the bag.

The HEAD Radical Team Auxetic offers incredible value, combining easy manoeuvrability with impressive stability for its weight class. We noticed a clear improvement compared to the previous version, thanks in part to the integration of Auxetic fibres, which enhance both feel and responsiveness.

This racket is a fantastic choice for both beginners and intermediate players. Its well-rounded specifications and forgiving nature mean it can grow with your game, reducing the need to upgrade as your skills develop. It’s a frame you can rely on for the long term.

Versatility is where this racket truly shines. It performs exceptionally well across all areas of the court—from groundstrokes to volleys and serves. We found it easy to generate topspin while still maintaining a high level of control. It’s especially well-suited to players who are still developing their style, as it supports a wide range of playing approaches and skill progression.

Technologies

Auxetic
Integrated into the graphite construction, Auxetic is a unique material that enhances feel and comfort. It remains soft during normal play for better touch, but stiffens under tension—delivering extra power on aggressive shots like serves and smashes.

Graphene
One of HEAD’s most renowned technologies, Graphene reinforces key areas of the frame, including the throat and hoop. This improves stability and energy transfer, resulting in a more solid, controlled response on impact.

Sound Grommet
The Sound Grommet system allows greater string movement upon ball contact, increasing power while also enhancing sound and feel.
