HEAD YouTek Radical Midplus Review

I've used this stick for 5 months now and my game has improved significantly ever since. Here are my thoughts.

Groundstrokes: 9
Comfortable groundstrokes, with precise placement for cross-courts angled shots. Probably the best part about this racquet.

Volley: 8
Flexible and maneuverable. However not as smooth as my previous Wilson racquet probably due to the tighter string tension. I prefer bouncier volleys.

Serve: 7
Gives me consistency during serve, but lacks pace and power. No aces here.

Return: 9
Great solid return. If the serve is hit to my forehand, I can almost return 99% accurately with this racquet.

Specs
Weight: 10.4 oz
Head size: 98 sq. inch
Length: 27 inch
String pattern: 18 / 20
Composition: Graphite, d30

Pros using the YouTek Radical series:
Andy Murray, Robin Soderling, Tomas Berdych, Marin Cilic, Amelie Mauresmo

Newest addition to the HEAD family: James Blake

Former world number four and Davis Cup champion James Blake will be the latest addition to the HEAD family come 2011. In a bit to revive his career, the 30 year old veteran has called upon the HEAD team to analyse a new tennis weapon. It's make or break now for Blake.

I'm not sure when the current Youtek series will be replaced but I'm hoping not so soon.
