Our assessment
Choose between Team and Motion
Choose by feel and handling. Team uses fibreglass and is classified Soft; Motion uses Double Carbon and is classified Hard. Team also has the lower balance point, at 255 mm versus 260 mm, while Motion weighs 5 g less.
Those differences pull in different directions. If you want a softer contact, start with Team. If you want to reduce total weight while keeping a firmer response, compare Motion. Try repeated blocks and volleys to decide which you prepare more comfortably.
Consider an alternative if: Lower total weight is your priority, or you specifically want a firm carbon face.
Strengths
- Its 255 mm balance sits below Motion and Pro's 260 mm.
- The fibreglass face provides the soft option alongside the Double Carbon models.
- Soft Cap+ allows the wrist cord to be replaced.
Drawbacks
- At 360 g nominal, it is heavier than Motion despite its softer construction.
- The smooth face will not suit buyers specifically looking for raised texture.

FAQ
- Is Radical Team lighter than Radical Motion?
- No. Team is listed at 360 g nominal and Motion at 355 g. Team feels softer according to HEAD's classifications and has a lower balance point, but neither makes it the lighter racket. Choose Team for its softer response, not to save weight over Motion.
- Is Radical Team suitable for a beginner?
- It could suit an improving beginner who handles 360 g comfortably and already prefers a softer contact. HEAD positions it for intermediate and advanced players. For a first racket with no clear preferences yet, we would start by comparing Vibe or Bolt before moving into the Radical range.
