HEAD Radical Team 15

This paddle weighs 8.3 ounces and uses a standard 16-inch length with a 7.75-inch-wide face. That wider shape gives you a larger hitting area, while the 5-inch handle leaves room for a relaxed grip. The 4.12-inch circumference suits players who prefer a smaller standard grip.

The raw carbon face and PP honeycomb core aim for a crisp, connected response. Its 14.2 mm listed core keeps the paddle substantial without becoming an especially thick control paddle. Reviewers describe the Radical Team 15 as balanced and versatile, but less specialized than paddles built purely for power or finesse.

The Radical Team 15 fits an all-court game that moves between baseline drives and kitchen exchanges. Its 8.3-ounce weight can add authority to groundstrokes, while the wide face helps steady blocks and off-center contact. HEAD also positions the paddle for powerful baseline shots.

The raw carbon surface is suited to players who want more spin from serves, drives, and dipping shots. Reviewers find its power and control reasonably balanced, though its pop is average compared with power-focused paddles. If you mainly play soft hands at the kitchen, expect a versatile compromise rather than a specialist touch paddle.
