Graphene Touch
Following the Speed , Instinct , Extreme and also MXG series , the Radical series now receives the expected update to the Graphene Touch material. The Prestige series is expected to receive this update in early 2018. Graphene Touch is the 3rd generation of Graphene that Head uses in its rackets. Graphene is extremely light and torsionally stiff. Head uses this material around the heart of the racket for extra torsional stiffness, but also to save weight around the heart of the racket, which is then shifted towards the top and grip. This 'polarization' of the weight ensures stable and more powerful frames. This Graphene Touch variant feels less hollow and more muted. This gives more feeling with the ball and more comfort.
