Head YOUTEK IG Radical Midplus Racquets Customer feedback

Comments: Feel is outstanding, this racket has tremendous feel. Way above previous model from that perspective. No vibration, clean response, don't forget your footwork (as usual with Radical lineage). I have found it more maneuverable than the LM FXP Radical MP and slightly below in terms of power. Still really impressed. I'm considering switching to it.

Comments: Not as good as the Youtek Radical MP but really has a lot of feel and maneuverability.
From: Tim, 4/12

Comments: Being a pretty exclusive Radical Series player and having just switched to this racquet from the MG Radical MP I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. The added weight to this version as opposed to its predecessors allows me to access depth of shot from both backhand and forehand wings almost effortlessly. The added stiffness combined with the added weight is a beautiful thing for my volleys; where the previous versions in the Radical series left me wanting more pop at the net, this racquet provides said pop in spades. Overall, to me, this racquet took everything I liked about the Radicals and simply made it better, and as if this racquet needed anything else to make it a great choice, the updated aesthetics of this version are freaking gorgeous. Seriously folks, give this racquet a try.

Comments: This racquet feels very light but has great feel to it with ground strokes, slices or serves. I had no issues with serving - in fact they actually went in more often for me with this racquet! With my previous racquet (IG Instinct) shots tended to sail long with a bit too much power. This radical definitely allows me to place the ball better in the court. As they say about Dilmah tea... 'do try it'!

Comments: As a recreational player I bought this racket here in Hong Kong thinking it would fit my stable baseline and drop shot game. It did me very well in the groundstrokes, slices and volleys as I felt connected to the ball and I can easily direct the ball. Also the lower power of this racket did help me from hitting long on my groundstrokes but the tight string pattern did produce less spin than the open string pattern, causing me to overhit when trying to hit high with spin but it wasn't anything I couldn't adjust to. However, the biggest problem I found was with serving because you had to swing VERY HARD with a lot of pace in order to put the ball in place of the box and for some reason I found it hard to serve a flat one (probably because of the head being heavier than normal rackets) as I get my timing wrong. Anyways you really need some time to adjust to this racket but once you've adjusted, this racket is really a dynamite singles racket. I would recommend a Head Youtek IG Prestige S if you're a frequent doubles player. Also love the new paintjob on this racket is really looks nice!

Comments: I have used the LM, MG and YT versions of this frame and this one is the best. Truly a crisp feeling racket with a nice flex, really comfortable. A good mix of power and control from the baseline, unlike the Rad Pro, which is just powerful. I would be adding 30+ grams of lead to this, but even in stock it's a stable platform. And of course, as for all the Radicals out there, I think only a poly would make it complete (for me, Lux BB Ace @ 55lbs).

Comments: A great update to the YouTek version. The feel is superb, overall the IGRadicalMid+ feels crisper, more responsive and more solid than the previous version. It's still one of the lowest powered frames out there, so bring good footwork but is also an optimal racquet for customizing. Great touch up at net and from the baseline. I've been playing with Radicals since before the i.radical and this IG Radical is probably the most versatile I've swung so far.

Comments: Hi guys, it's me again. I have to correct this: the new Head IG Radical MP has slightly higher stiffness than it's old version Youtek Radical MP (61 vs 59). I've tried 2 more different strings and found out about this stiffness issue. I think the new Youtek IG Radical MP is going to be hot for its awesome feels.

Comments: I have demoed this new Radical MP IG along with other new offerings from Head the new Prestige YK IG. Unlike the Prestige MP, this racket is more spin friendly and maneuverable. Comparing to the previous model of Radical MP Youtek, this is surprisingly has much better feel. I like the crisp feedback of a well struck ball, whereas I found the previous version a slightly smudgy which leads to overhitting. Found both the Prestige and Radical's new paint job rather handsome but conservative. Lets put it this way, if you were Nadal and have to choose a racket from Head-this would be the racket. Killer spin, super maneuverable, and extremely precise. Now if you are Fed, I think he would choose the Prestige. Great touch, but not hell of a lot of spin friendliness

Comments: I must say "wow" when I first picked up this Utek IG Radical MP because of its beautiful paint job. After hitting with it for around 5 to 10 minutes, I could tell there's not much difference between this new version with the Utek Radical MP from Weight, balance, stiffness, swing weight. It's like this is the new paint job of the Utek Radical. The frame is very flexible. I added total of 6g lead tape at 2 & 10 and 12g on handle (same way I set up my Utek Radical MP), and I could get used to hitting it almost instantly because my current racquets are Utek Rad MP. The paint job is awesome.
