At 170 grams, the Graphene 360+ RADICAL 170 is designed for those who look for power. It is slightly heavier than the 160 version and comes more evenly balanced, which means that it packs a lot of power in an extremely maneuverable design. It features the new Graphene 360+ technology, a combination of Graphene 360's energy transfer and innovative spiralfibers for an enhanced flex and clean impact feel. In addition, it comes with HEAD's Inner Grommet System for optimal stiffness and a solid feel. We also lengthened the main strings by creating molded tubes in the throat of the racquet. These Power Channels™ increase the stiffness in the throat for an incredible amount of raw power. While used by top pro players, the RADICAL 170 brings state-of-the-art power to the masses.

INNER GROMMET SYSTEM 2
The next generation of HEAD's revolutionary Inner Grommet System Technology, IGS2, eliminates exterior grommet holes delivering optimal stiffness, but with less weight.
POWER CHANNELS
HEAD engineers have eliminated 33% of the grommet holes in the head of the racquet by developing innovative shared ports. In addition, Power Channels have been lowered deeper into the throat of the racquet.
AFP
More power or more control - now you can have it all in one racquetball racquet. The new Adaptive Fan Pattern (AFP) technology allows you to choose between two different pattern depending on your individual style of play and personal needs. You can choose between the straight string pattern to maximize your power game and the special fan-shaped pattern to optimize your ability to control the ball. The new AFP technology is available in the new Radical racquet series.
