Its \u003cstrong\u003eT700 raw carbon hitting surface\u003c\/strong\u003e grips the ball with a dry, textured sensation, helping topspin drives and sliced returns dip with purpose. Beneath it, the \u003cstrong\u003e15 mm polypropylene honeycomb core\u003c\/strong\u003e cushions impact while keeping the face stable. The widebody shape and compact handle also make the paddle quick to position during blocks, counters, and tight kitchen exchanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Sets the HEAD Radical Tour Raw 2024 Pickleball Paddle Apart?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidebody Shape Makes Defensive Contact Easier\u003c\/strong\u003e The 7.85-inch-wide face provides a broader hitting area than many elongated paddles, giving players more room when blocking fast drives or reacting late at the kitchen. Retailer and player feedback often describes the Radical Tour Raw as stable and predictable across the face. Its traditional proportions feel reassuring during compact exchanges, although players seeking extra reach may prefer a longer, narrower frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaw Carbon Rewards Brushing Technique\u003c\/strong\u003e The T700 carbon surface has a coarse, dry feel that helps the ball grab during topspin drives, sliced returns, and rolling volleys. Outside feedback regularly highlights dependable spin and measured placement rather than explosive rebound. The paddle responds particularly well when the player accelerates upward through contact, producing shaped trajectories without making the ball leap unpredictably from the face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft Core Supports Drops and Resets\u003c\/strong\u003e The 15 mm polypropylene honeycomb core produces a muted, cushioned impact that makes pace absorption easier during defensive play. Users often appreciate the control on blocks and third-shot drops, though some note that gentle dinks require a slightly more deliberate push. The response feels composed rather than springy, which suits players who value predictable depth and careful placement around the non-volley zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort Handle Improves Hand Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e A 5-inch handle keeps the hand close to the paddle face, helping the Radical Tour Raw move quickly during counters and rapid volley exchanges. Players with one-handed backhands may enjoy the direct, connected sensation and easy wrist positioning. The compact handle offers less space for two-handed strokes, but it contributes to the nimble feel that distinguishes this model from longer Tour EX designs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePros and Cons\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePros\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCons\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidebody face provides a forgiving contact area.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort handle restricts two-handed backhand space.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaw carbon surface generates dependable spin.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft shots require deliberate forward pressure.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFifteen-millimetre core absorbs incoming pace effectively.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact dimensions support quick net reactions.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e225 g \/ 7.9 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidebody\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFace Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT700 raw carbon fiber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene honeycomb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40.8 cm \/ 16 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.8 cm \/ 7.85 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.7–13 cm \/ 5–5.1 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrip Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 7\/8 in or 4 1\/4 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrip Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOctagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFactory Grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHEAD HydroSorb Pro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Stabilizer Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrip Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComfort Grip System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Head","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56501926789460,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/5462\/3572\/files\/HEADRadicalTourRaw20241-681082.webp?v=1784399319","url":"https:\/\/pickleball-webshop.com\/it\/products\/head-radical-tour-raw-2024-pickleball-paddle","provider":"Pickleball Webshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
