Verdict

The HEAD Radical Motion 2024 is the lightweight 3K carbon teardrop option in HEAD's current available stock at EUR 132.95. Teardrop shape, 3K carbon face, Eva Soft core, 355-365g. The lightest carbon teardrop HEAD currently offers at any price.

3K carbon at 355-365g is a practical combination that serves a specific advanced player profile: those who want carbon feel and feedback without the physical demands of heavier constructions. The 3K weave delivers crisp, precise contact feedback - touch shots feel intentional, drives feel direct - while the lighter weight allows the swing to stay fast and recovery between shots to stay quick.

The lighter weight is the defining advantage over the 2024 Radical Pro. At net, 355-365g handles faster than 360-370g in a way that is practically significant during rapid exchanges. Over a full match, the lighter construction accumulates less fatigue, which means technique stays more consistent through the final sets. For advanced players who compete regularly and feel the physical toll of heavy rackets across a season, this sustainability advantage compounds.

The trade-off is baseline power. Less mass behind the swing means less pace on equivalent baseline driving versus the Pro. Players who primarily attack from the baseline will prefer the heavier Pro's authority. Players who move quickly, cover wide ground, and win through consistency and court speed will prefer the Motion's lighter specification.

At EUR 132.95 it is priced below both the 2024 Radical Pro and the 2026 Radical Motion, making it the entry point for 3K carbon teardrop performance in the current HEAD range. Advanced players who want carbon precision at the most accessible current HEAD price should start here.
