Can Someone give me a description on the Head Flexpoint Radical and Flexpoint Instinct Tennis Racquets?

I was looking to buying one maybe but i don’t know which one to get. I’m looking for a control racquet and something to help on my serves.

    why not consider microgel?

    the only reason why you would buy flexpoint is because there isnt a microgel prestige yet. i dont think the instinct is that good anyway. iv stopped playing with head and switched to wilson.

    Going purely by the numbers, these two racquets are very similar. The biggest difference is the head size. The radical has a slightly smaller head than the instinct. That means that it will have more control.

    My suggestion would be to demo both racquets (midplus head sizes) and see which one feels the best to you. I would also suggest checking out the flexpoint presige and the radical tour. The radical tour has a slightly large head for a midplus, but it is considerably heavier. The extra weight will add control. The Prestige is the heaviest of them all, and has a small head (93 sq.in.) It will have the most control, but you might find that it doesn’t have quite enough power.

    i have a fp radical racquet and if you have a full swing the radical is better because it has more control, it is powerful and accurate. I personally like it because i have a one-handed backhand and the radical is really good for winners from that section. On the serve, the radical seems to be more accurate. but that’s just me, i am not sure if it will work for u so demo both

    for starters the FXP Radical and the FXP Instinct are 2 different rackets.
    both play differently. the Radical is slightly more flexible compared to the Instinct.
    the Instinct has an even balance. meaning the racket head and the handle of the racket are balanced evenly.
    the Radical requires you to have a longer swing to maximize its playability.
    for the Instinct, it is suitable for player who have a shorter swing.
    for players who may not have longer swings on their groundies, then the Instinct may suite them more.

    the Radical is a heavier racket compared to the Instinct.
    both rackets are good though. both are not overly powerful. both have good control.

    but control is a relative term. if you string your rackets with higher tension, you may loose a bit of power from the frame and your sweetspot is smaller. ie you may find it less responsive.
    stringing it lower gives you more power, you may feel you have less control but your sweetspot increases. your racket will fell more responsive. but i alwaze tell my players to string their rackets with lower tensions for better playabillity.
    you serves will also improve especially on topspin serves.
    try it for yourself.

    go demo the Radical and the Instinct. see which you like and can play better with.

    have fun!!
