Tour Series
- Ti.Radical
If Grand Slam winner Andre Agassi turned his career around with this frame, the possibilities may be endless for the rest of us mere mortals. If you're looking for the feel and control of a traditional "player" racquet, without the added weight, the Head Titanium Ti Radical is definitely worth a test drive. The Ti. Radical's weight and balance is what separates it most from other "player" racquets. Both the midplus and oversize weigh just under 11 ounces (strung) and are just a touch (3/8 inch) head light. Most traditional "player" racquets are 12+ ounces and balanced 1-1.5 inches head light. This means more of the Ti. Radicals' weight is distributed in the hoop and throat area. Consequently, these racquets don't feel that much lighter but are deceptively maneuverable. The added bonus is the comfort provided by Head's TwinTube construction. Whether you're a hard-hitting baseliner or an aggressive all-court player, the Ti. Radical will provide consistent, reliable results for 4.0 + level players with longer/loopier stroke styles. - Ti.Fire
The Titanium Ti Fire Pro Edition represents Head's third model in the Ti Fire evolution process. Although close in name, similarities to its cousins the Ti Fire original and Ti Fire Tour Edition stop there. Without exception, the Fire Pro Edition is a player's racquet that will perform best in the hands of advanced 4.5 to 7.0 level players who value control and stability over power. The Ti Fire Pro Edition is an ideal racquet for advanced players, who generate plenty of power and are seeking control and string durability. - Classic
Straight beam construction, head light balance, high flex rating; one of the most popular racquets with ATP Tour players, including Goran Ivanisevic. Classic feel, great control and top of the food chain when it comes to playability for the advanced, hard hitting tournament player. Available in Mid and Midplus.
Ti. Control Series
- Ti.Laser
Looking for an ultra-maneuverable player's frame with solid control and some added reach? A test drive with the Titanium Ti-Laser Comfort Zone may be worth your time. The unique 102 head size combined with easy handling head heavy balance make for a racquet that will have wide appeal to intermediate
