What players say
Reviewers agree the 2025 Radical Pro is a control-first player's frame: the tight 16x19 pattern and added swingweight give dependable directional accuracy and stability, and the new Auxetic 2.0 construction in the yoke and handle makes it feel a bit plusher and more forgiving than the 2023 version. It still asks for a fast, technically sound swing, has a low natural launch that doesn't generate topspin easily, and punishes off-center contact, so testers steer it toward advanced players rather than intermediates.
Best for
- Advanced, technically sound players
- All-court and aggressive baseliners who want precision over free power
- Big servers and slice/flat-ball hitters
- 2023 Radical Pro owners wanting a bit more give
Pros
- Excellent directional control from the tight 16x19 string pattern
- Stable, connected feel with strong plow-through on serves and groundstrokes
- Auxetic 2.0 makes it feel slightly plusher and more forgiving than the 2023 model
- Slice shots come out low and penetrating
Cons
- Small, demanding sweet spot that punishes off-center hits
- Low natural launch angle; doesn't produce topspin as easily as competing 98s
- Heavy build (329 swingweight) can feel unwieldy without a fast, full swing
- Not friendly for intermediates; requires strong technique to unlock its control

I did enjoy the feel more of this Radical Pro than the previous edition and in my experience it was slightly more forgiving than the 2023.

Most advanced players will prefer the Pro, while most intermediates should stick with the MP.
— Tennis.com playtest team, Web
The epitome of a straight-shooter—if you miss the shot, the error almost always feels user-generated.
— Michelle (Tennis Warehouse playtester), Web
I had a hard time finding the sweetspot consistently.
— Munish (Tennis Warehouse playtester), Web
I found I could hit some really nasty slices, very low bounce and very penetrating.
