HEAD Pickleball Paddle Radical Tour15

The Head Pickleball Paddle Radical Tour 15 offers a premium blend of power and control for players who want advanced technology and reliable all-court performance without stepping up to a professional-level price point. Built around a thermoformed ThermoTech frame and a micro-forged raw carbon hitting surface, it delivers enhanced stability, a wider sweet spot, and a dependable and uniform ball response across the entire face of the paddle. Sharing the shorter and more rectangular shape of the PRO 15, the Radical Tour 15 provides an expanded hitting zone and exceptional manoeuvrability that supports confident and precise play from every area of the court. It is engineered for versatile performance, giving players of all styles controlled power and refined touch in a single capable and well-balanced paddle.

Material and Construction

The hitting surface combines a micro-forged raw carbon face with a T700 carbon layer. The micro-forged raw carbon delivers ultimate touch and control through its raw and uncoated surface, which grips the ball more effectively for next-level spin generation and superior feel on every contact point. The dense micro-layered structure of the raw carbon adds strength and precision across the full face, producing a crisp and connected response that makes every swing feel intentional and well-informed. The T700 carbon layer adds additional stability, durability, and a crisp pop off the paddle that creates a larger and more consistent sweet spot, making shots feel solid and reliable across the face.

The ThermoTech thermoformed construction bonds the materials together under precise heat and pressure for a more unified and structurally consistent paddle that delivers enhanced consistency, a wider sweet spot, and a supremely stable hitting feel on every shot. This thermoforming process ensures that the performance characteristics of the paddle remain dependable and predictable throughout its lifespan, giving players the confidence to commit fully to their shots.

Injected Foam Walls are integrated into the structural walls of the paddle to provide unmatched stability and an expanded sweet spot for maximum performance across all shot types. These foam inserts absorb and manage the forces generated during impact, reducing unwanted vibration and ensuring that even off-centre hits produce a controlled and usable response rather than a significant loss of power or direction.

Performance Benefits

The widebody shape of the Radical Tour 15 is designed for control and consistency, with the wider body creating a larger sweet spot and a more reliable contact zone across the face. The shorter overall length of the widebody design improves manoeuvrability at the kitchen line, supporting quick reactions and precise placement during fast hand exchanges and net play. At 15mm core thickness the paddle provides a well-balanced and all-around performance that suits a versatile playing style, offering a solid mix of power, control, and feel that adapts to both soft game finesse and aggressive baseline driving. At 235g the Radical Tour 15 sits in the heavyweight category for its construction, providing the structural mass needed for powerful and confident driving shots while the widebody geometry keeps the handling agile and responsive for net play.

Handle and Grip

The standard 127mm handle provides extra paddle surface area while keeping the grip comfortable and relaxed in the hand, with no feeling of crowding or constriction during play. This handle length suits a wide range of playing styles and is particularly comfortable for players who prefer single-handed grip techniques and want a natural and versatile holding position across all court situations. The exclusive Head Ergo Grip foam handle delivers unparalleled comfort and superior feel throughout every session, adapting naturally to the shape of the hand, reducing fatigue across long rallies, and providing a consistently secure and comfortable grip from the first point to the last.
