Comments: It took a while to get into a groove with this racquet; however, after I got used to it and realized I had a great racquet! It gives plenty of power (pop), has a good sweetspot and a ot of control. I was impressed with the spin that this racquet produced from the baseline. Serves and overheads are fantastic. I definitely recommend!

Comments: I am a hard-hitting baseliner with topspin and flat hard first with a kick second serve; also a two-handed backhand. I tried this racquet because of the weight and stiffness. Most people don't pay attention to the stiffness, but for me and my shoulder, it's very important to find a softer racquet to keep injuries down. That along with the price makes this a great racquet. I think it's safe to say it plays like an I Radical but is much softer with better control and more pop than the Prestige. This racquet gave me the weight, a slightly larger head, and the ability to hit out on my forehand. I found this racquet to hit phenomenal topspin, slice and kick on my second serve. If you are used to a tight string pattern like the Prestige, you may have to find a new string because this racquet will go through string quickly if you don't find the right match. The more open string pattern will help you get more spin, but if you are looking for a great combo string, look at what I have below strung in this racquet. The Gosen string works great for me in this racquet at 62 lbs. The sweetspot is quite large and when you hit it, you're rewarded with a lot pf controllable power. I agree with the other writer who states "if you want control and power, choose this; if you want pure control, choose the Prestige." I now have pop where I didn't. Try this stick if you're looking for a softer frame (there aren't many of those left), a more forgiving sweetspot, and control/power that allows you to really take a huge cut at the ball from anywhere on the court.

Comments: The weight of this racquet as other people have said isn't an issue. However it hits long easily and the spin generation (topspin) is not enough to offset this. If you're facing a big server this sprays the ball everywhere. Had mine restrung tighter tensions but still unpredictable. Actually likes you to hit flatter groundies except on serve where spin and pace is good. Volleys very good. Overall this racquet is OK but I wouldn't recommend at this price. My 6.0 85 produces better quality spin, work that out.

Comments: You shouldn't be afraid of this racquet's heavy weight. It's head light, so it actually maneuvers better than a racquet that is lighter but more head heavy. Oversize Flexpoint Radical is fairly similar if you're still scared of weight. It's easy to generate lots of spin on both wings. Weight really gives advantage on returns of fast serves and also volleys. Serves have extra pop. Amazing control combined with power. Great racquet. Love it.

Comments: Out of all the racquets I've played with I like to compare this racquet to the Andy Roddick Pure Drive w/cortex. The head sizes are the same and the weights (actually and feel) are about the same. This racquet is way better, mostly because of its solid feel. This racquet offers what the most recent racquet technologies (kfactor, aerogel, MICROGEL) are trying to do with racquets, make them more solid without weight. Yes of course this racquet is heavy but its 100sqin headsize gives plenty of power and pop. This is a great tweener racquet.

Comments: Few thoughts on this racquet. Only a junior player so the 12 ounces was a bit heavy. It is a very heavy racquet. Ground strokes are crisp and clean. Was able to generate very good spin with the racquet with my multi strings at 57 pounds. It’s just so hard to maneuver the racquet for volley, which doesn't suit my game very much. Not too impressed with the serves on this racquet so I guess the only thing I really liked was the ground strokes and spin. Second serves are not bad but my first flat serves were slowed down a lot. Worked out my arms and still had trouble with the weight. Try a 11.5 (strung) racquet first. If you still find too much power with that then go with this.

Comments: I am a firm believer in demoing a racquet for yourself rather than relying solely on reviews and word-of-mouth. I demoed many racquets before I decided to buy this one. Wilson N6.1 95, Wilson nTour Two, Prince O3 Hybrid Spectrum MP, Head Flexpoint Prestige MP, Head Flexpoint Radical MP, and Head Flexpoint Instinct MP. After demoing these racquets, I determined I liked a heavier, head-light racquet for control, since I am a free swinger. I narrowed it down to the Wilson N6.1 95 and the Head Flexpoint Radical Tour MP, without even having demoed it. I bought this racquet because I liked the feel of the Flexpoint Radical MP, but felt I needed the extra ounce of weight, and the open string pattern, since I enjoy generating lots of spin. I just played with this racquet for the first time and after about 15 minutes of adjusting to the new stick, I found I was hitting balls deep with tons of spin and pace. This racquet is great for players who are strong enough to generate good head speed. Many people have said that they get more control by swinging harder with this racquet, and I definitely agree. I'm looking forward to hitting the courts again soon!

Comments: Had this racquet for about 2 months now. Took a while to get into a groove with this racquet for me coming from a Wilson 95 sq. inch player frame. I strung this with Luxilon ALU Power Rough. This combined with my loopy whip play style meant I hit with probably too much spin and not enough penetration. I have now adjusted my swing to a longer one with less whip. Not only do I have more balance and quicker repositioning, I find that my shots feel awesome and have pinpoint precision.

Comments: I have used the flexpoint radical tour for about 18 months. Compared to my liquid metal radical mp (which were too light) this is a very nicely balanced racquet - headlight and enough weight for stable, long and heavy swings. Be prepared, however, the looser stringbed and the slightly bigger head size makes you lose some control. It is a unique racquet in that it combines the weight and balance of player’s racquet with a bigger head size. If you are a + 4.5 base line player and are ready to sacrifice some control for more power and spin, this is the racquet for you. Otherwise, buy the prestige mp.

It does have noticeable trampoline effect, and if you weight lift for tennis training and can really get good racquet head speed, the serve on this radical will be something else entirely. This is not for those who like stiff racquets, or those who tend to hit flat continental shots. Volleys could be better in my opinion, but are still not terribly bad. Hit with some big spin and stay back on the baseline then this racquet is for you.

Comments: I switched to this racquet from the Head Liquidmetal radical and I have to say that the FXP fits my type of game better. With this one you can create tons of topspin and it provides some nice power. Most of the year, I play on clay courts, so this is exactly what I need. The only concern I have about this racquet is that I'm missing some crispness within the stringbed. So, in comparison to my former Liquidmetal radical, flat serves tend to go too long. But all in all, this is a very good stick for guys who love to camp on the baseline with occasional net attacks.

If you need absolute control, go for the Head Flexpoint Prestige, but if you want a little power, and a boatload of control and spin then this is the racquet for you. I used the Babolat Pure Control Team Plus racquet before and while it was great for the topspin shots, I felt a slight loss of control on my volleys and my slice lost a bit of control and was not as piercing as it usually was. The Head Flexpoint Radical Tour racquet brought back my slice and gave it a little extra oomph as well. Volleys are plain sick, I never knew I was this talented. If there is such thing as a game improvement racquet, for me this is it.

Comments:I've been playing these radical tours for 3 months now. Was playing liquid metal radical. This is a less powerful racquet. I wanted more control on serve return, better court penetration on backhand, and volleys that went in. This racquet immediately provided a deeper, more comfortable, more penetrating backhand. It immediately provided a 15% improvement in serve returns against the harder serving 4.0's. Serve return has improved another 5% with practice. The tour adds confidence and control galore when returning against hot serves. Serves and Overheads were difficult, for 5 weeks, to achieve velocity. I love the sound of this racquet... it pings quietly like an aluminum bat. I have to agree with other reviewers that found generous sweetspot, and forgiving feeling of weight behind groundstrokes. Backhand is more of a weapon now than ever before, Volleys may have lost a little pop, but gained like 40% in accuracy (very fun) Overheads and Serves require concentration to develop; velocity and accuracy are noticeably improved. Half volley is just flat better. Slice, especially off backhand unusually good. This racquet will force you to stroke the ball bigger, more completely with more follow through... or everything will end up slow and short. HOWEVER if you are willing to stroke the ball more completely THIS RACQUET WILL REWARD YOU WITH SOLID COMFORTABLE STABLE ACCURATE POWER... This instrument is easy on the elbow, steady, accurate, and favors control over power. Fabulous defensive weapon and attacks with accuracy, and good access to spin... does eat strings, I recommend a power oriented string. I also recommend this racquet for people bringing their own power to the court but need to harness velocity in favor of more balls in play. Play the power strings and hit away... those balls are dropping in with opponent shocking regularity.

Comments: From the baseline and net the racket is prone to twisting. Consequently, because of the spongy feel the "sweet spot" is a misnomer. The racket does not provide superior control and is not powerful. If you hit a flat ball with a continental grip this is not the racket for you. On a positive note, the 120z frame does not feel heavy and you can swing as fast as you like for as long as you like and you will not become fatigued when serving.

Comments: This is a fantastic racquet for strong players needing control. My play style is serve and volley. I demoed a lot of racquets and found this one to "feel" the best along with giving the most control. I was having issues with having to hold back with my Wilson Pro Staff's and this racquet solved it quickly. The topspin I can generate on both backhands and forehands is amazing! I have very loopy strokes and a one handed backhand, so control is a must. I don't have any maneuverability issues at net either. Also, my spin serve to the ad court as a lefty is devilish, in doubles I can pull my opponent off into the next court! I have to string it beyond recommended tensions to get the control I need, but make sure this is in your demo group if you are a powerful player looking for control.

Comments: This racquet is amazing! It has the perfect combination of pace/spin/and control! As soon as I picked it up I saw an extremely noticeable change in my control. I could put the ball anywhere. The weight of the racquet helped tremendously on the groundstrokes as well as hitting deep on volleys keeping you on the offensive strike. If you have enough strength, it provides you with more than enough power to hit winners from anywhere on the court. The open string pattern gives plenty of spin, especially on second serves, kicking the ball way out. It gave 9 aces in one set. Wow!! The only thing I feel it could be improved on is maneuverability at the net which, it's not bad, but again the open pattern provides drop shots that do just that; drop! I won't use anything else ever again!

Great for topspin and some mean slices as well. The only thing I would change would be to make this racquet a little heavier as I'm used to my 13+ oz Pro Staff w/ lead. The Radical Tour is a great forgiving player's racquet. Oh, and the paint is quite cheap. It's already peeling off!

It's a lot easier to place serves and still get the pace I need to put my opponent off balence. Net play is slow but much easier to get touch drop shops. Groundstrokes are much easier to do whatever I want to with. Overall, it was a great switch for me from my previous Babolat.

Great on the serve with spin and pace that's easy to generate. Lots of control and stability from all area's of the court. And the 100 sq. in. head size doesn't seem to hurt on off center hits (this was one of my major problems with my current frame). I am switching to this racquet.

What I was most intrigued about the harder you hit the ball, the most control you got out of it, which was something I was not used to. I guess the racquet hooks around the "flexpoints" and is able to grip the ball more. I quickly fell in love with this racquet. I felt like I could camp the baseline ALL DAY with this racquet. I was able to have a full swing with confidence behind it, which was what I was looking for. I also loved it at the net. I could punch back balls from big hitters without feeling the shock I normally would with other racquets. This was defiantly a stable racquet, which was expected with its 12.5oz weight. Groundstrokes, volleys, slams, and serves were on the mark. I have fallen in love with this racquet and I have decided to get this one, and I have no regrets. I would extremely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun player's racquet.

Comments: This racquet is one of the most comfortable racquets I've ever felt. I've been using the Babolat Pure Drive for so long (4 years) that I had forgotten what a real player’s racquet feels like. The weight is deceiving - plays lighter than it weighs. I agree that this racquet takes some getting used to, especially coming from a much lighter racquet. Once you do make your adjustments though, the racquet is buttery smooth. My advice is to string it tightly (60-65 lbs). There is a noticeable trampoline effect, so stringing it tightly makes up for some of that. It also gives you much more control. The only downside is that I've been breaking strings more frequently. I might have to start using polyester in the mains or something, but it's so worth it. My shoulder and arm have never felt better. I'm never going back.

I was surprised to learn that I felt more solid hitting my two handed backhand with this one compared to my previous racket, The POG longbody.

Comments:The Flexpoint Radical Tour I demoed for a week and loved the stability from the first hour I hit with it. My biggest concern was that with an overgrip and dampener it came in at a whopping 13.5 oz. The control on my returns, backhands, and serves were what impressed me the most. With the heavier frame, the serves were much heavier, deeper and penetrating with spin, something I lacked with most racquets I played with. With the Flexpoint Radical tour, I'm serving with much more and no pain whatsoever. I had originally had trouble with my slices, the ball tended to sit up, or most times I'd dump slices into the net. With this racquet I was able to block returns from the backhand for winners. With a hefty 13.5 oz, you're almost forced to take a longer swing, but with less wrist action. When I had lighter frames I would tend to over hit, swing too fast and hard. You have to generate your own pace with this racquet, but unlike most other frames with similar weight, the stability is there, the control is there, and I'm so glad I went with this frame instead of the lighter radicals.

I liked 2 other sticks, but was missing something in each...the usual issues: spin/power/control. I couldn't seem to find the right combination. From the start with this stick I hit baseline shots deep, and had plenty of control and spin. What really amazed me was how much more I was hitting through the ball. Shots felt solid right away, and I could feel the weight of the racquet without it feeling heavy. Volleys have been a bit trickier because the stick feels less forgiving at the net, but when I keep my eye on the ball, I can punch them back with lots of pop. I suspect I'll be breaking lots of strings, though! No problem...it's worth it for the way this one plays!

Comments: I switched to this racquet from FXP Radical OS. The biggest difference is the weight. Just be sure your shoulder and arm are in decent shape because it will feel like it's coming off after 2 hour fast feeds and matches. Of course, this could be due my age (mid 50's). This will take a good 1 or 2 months to get used to, but after you are physically able to handle the racquet, you will like the good precision and depth of shots from the baseline. At the net, the Tour handles well and is quite mobile given its 12 oz weight. The only problem I have with it is in serving, where I find it difficult to generate decent head speed to spin the ball in, yet control the racquet because of its weight. But this is getting better with time.
