Natural Gut
This premium tennis string offers unmatched tension maintenance and feel, suitable for all players. Made from serosa fibers, it’s expensive but highly effective. While once sensitive to weather, modern coatings have improved its durability. No other string matches natural gut for tension and power.Multifilament
Made from nylon filaments bound with polyurethane, offer more power and comfort than solid-core strings. They mimic natural gut's performance at a lower cost, making them ideal for players with sensitive arms and elbows, though they lose tension faster compared to natural gut.Monofilament
Made from a single extruded material, they are durable but offer less power and comfort than other strings. Co-polyester monofilaments are slightly softer, providing control and spin for players with fast swings. Preferred by intermediate and advanced players, they lose tension faster than other string types.Synthetic Gut
Synthetic gut strings, made from nylon with a solid core and outer filaments, offer affordable, all-around performance. They balance tension maintenance with improved feel and are suitable for players of various levels.Hybrid
Hybrid stringing combines two different types or gauges of string in one racquet, often mixing stiff polyester with softer synthetic or natural gut. This blend improves comfort and playability while maintaining durability and spin, making it popular for extending string life.| String Gauge | Elasticity | Durability | Spin | Feel | Comfort |
| Thinner | More | Less | More | More | More |
| Thicker | Less | More | Less | Less | Less |
This is the diameter of the string, commonly expressed in millimeters and/or gauge numbers (the higher the gauge number, the thinner the string, and vice versa). Thinner strings tend to provide more power, feel and spin potential than a larger diameter string of the same type, although the thicker string will provide more control and durability.
| String Tension | Power | Control | Durability | Feel | Comfort |
| Lower | More | Less | Less | More | More |
| Higher | Less | More | More | Less | Less |
String tension is crucial for racquet playability, typically ranging from 40-70 pounds (18-32 kilograms). The recommended tension range is usually indicated near the racquet's throat. Higher tension offers more control but less power, while lower tension provides more power with less feel and control. Starting in the middle of this range is ideal. Strings lose tension rapidly after installation, often by 10% within 24 hours, reducing elasticity and requiring more player-generated power. To maintain optimal performance, restring your racquet regularly—at least every six months or as many times per year as you play per week.
Experience radical control with the HEAD Radical MP 18x20 2025 Tennis Racquet. Innovative Auxetic 2.0 technology delivers an outstanding impact feel and enhanced playability. Engineered for all-court players, the versatile Radical MP features exclusive technologies, including Sound Grommets, which enhance your power through greater string movement while optimizing sound and vibrations. This racquet maintains the same easy-to-swing specs as the Radical MP 2025, but thanks to the dense 18x20 string pattern, it will offer better directional control for intermediate and advanced players. There are few racquets on the market with the combination of power, precision, and maneuverability. This is a great choice for players who prefer the comfort of softer multifilament strings but want them to last longer. Taylor Fritz and Zhizhen Zhang compete on the ATP Tour with a HEAD Radical MP 18/20 tennis racquet.

"Love the racket. It gives me lots of control and spin. I am able to slice really well. Need to engage your body to give extra power."
"Great company! First time buyer. I purchased new racquet and had custom instructions on stringing. I placed the order at night and by morning they had already responded with receiving the instructions, and the racquet shipped out later that morning. Super fast and responsive."
"I have only hit with this Head Radical MP 18x20 2025 a few times, but it seems like a solid frame. I grew up playing with a 95 sq in 18x20 Prostaff, and was also using the Head Gravity Pro which is an 18x20. A few years ago I bought some 2021 Head Radical MP 16x19s to go down in swing weight and head size, and to increase power. I always felt like the 16x19s can be a little unpredictable, so decided on a whim to buy this 18x20 to see how it may impact control. As of now, I have switched to a leather grip and added an overgrip. I think using Head Lynx Tour at 52 lbs may be a little boardy, so I will try something softer at a lower tension for my next stringing. The racquet is pretty low powered and might benefit from a little more stability, so I'm debating about adding some lead tape at 9 and 12, but it feels a bit even balanced already - would probably want to tail weight this then so it's more headlight. I think it will take some time to get used to, but seems like a solid frame for getting control. I can still generate spin and power, but it's not as springy/explosive feeling as what I get with the Radical MP 16x19. Once my stronger hitting partner returns, I will see how he reacts to my ball compared to the 16x19."
"The best raquet ever"
"Luv it"
"In my own experience: Ball comes out flatter which I love. With the right string and tension I can rip this and not have the ball sail. I LOVE the 18x20 in the MP. I was not too proud to try this instead of my Pro to see what a lighter weight felt like and I have to admit I like the maneuverability. I’ll continue to use my Pro 16x19 as well as this stick depending on the setting. It’s like stepping up to an approach shot and just having that gut feeling that you need a 9 iron instead of an 8. That’s the only way I can explain having both with me."
"Good racquet, sturdy all around and has a good carry on the ball when I swing. I personally went for a color combo with the strings as well, but it would be good with anything else also! Grip is also very very nice straight out the plastic"
"Greatk"
"Great racquet"
"Customer service was very friendly attentive & answered all my questions so appreciated while making a big purchase!"
