Head Auxetic 2.0 Radical MP Tennis Racquet

Written for this world alone.

No hurry. Pick it up and hold it a moment before deciding anything. The Radical MP has been called the People's Racquet for a long time, and the reason is not marketing — it is that this frame does not ask you to be one kind of player. All-court, midplus, medium weight, open 16/19 pattern. It will serve and volley if that is your nature. It will stay back and grind if that is.

It has no preference. Notice how rare that is.

The construction is unusually honest for a frame this popular. Auxetic 2.0 sits in the yoke and the handle, added for stability and spin and for a crisp, clear feel at impact — the racquet tells you where on the string bed you made contact, and once you can hear that, you begin to correct without thinking.

Sound grommets allow greater string movement, which adds power and shapes the sound and the vibration. The beam is variable and it is the thinnest in the Radical family, which is where the feedback and the precision come from. Graphene sits inside the frame at key points for strength and stability.

Head recommends stringing it between 48 and 57 pounds.

The design is asymmetrical and bold, and you will either notice that or you will not, and both are fine.

It rests in Šiauliai. In the middle of the town is a sundial square with the country's tallest sundial and a gilded archer on top of it, and on the south wall of the cathedral tower, seventy metres of it, there is another sundial cut into the stone. Slowly. Without electricity. Breathe, and consider what you would lose if you did the same for a day.

A whole town agreeing to tell the time by the sun.

"It has no preference about what kind of player you are. Notice how rare that is."
