HEAD Radical 135 X 2026 – Oversize Squash Racquet with Controlled Power and a Larger Sweet Spot

HEAD Radical 135 X 2026 is a powerful and control-oriented squash racquet for players looking to combine stability, precision and a more forgiving hitting area. The X version differs from the standard Radical 135 with its larger 490 cm² head size, providing a bigger sweet spot and easier access to power.

With a 135-gram frame weight and a head-heavy balance, the racquet provides plenty of weight through the ball. This makes the Radical 135 X particularly interesting for attacking players who like to take a high position on the T, move forward on the court and finish points with power and precision.

The 2026 model has also been upgraded with HEAD’s new Hy-Bor technology, designed to increase stability and control at impact.

Hy-Bor – New Technology for Increased Stability

One of the major updates to the Radical 135 X 2026 is Hy-Bor, an advanced material with high compressive strength that helps improve racquet stability at impact.

The increased stability makes it easier to control the racquet even when hitting at high speed. The result is a combination of power, control and confidence at impact, perfectly complementing the precise characteristics of the Radical series.

135 Grams and Head-Heavy Balance – Power Through the Ball

The Radical 135 X features a 135-gram frame weight and a head-heavy balance. This combination provides additional momentum through the swing and helps the player generate power on attacking shots.

It is particularly well suited to players with a developed swing who want plenty of weight behind drives, boasts and aggressive shots towards the front wall.

Oversize 490 cm² – Larger Sweet Spot

One of the key differences between the Radical 135 X and Radical 135 is the larger 490 cm² head size.

The larger hitting area creates a more generous sweet spot and makes the racquet more forgiving when contact is not perfectly centered. At the same time, it maintains the Radical series’ focus on precision and controlled power.

This makes the 135 X an interesting option for players who appreciate the Radical feel but want a little more assistance with power and forgiveness.

16x19 String Pattern for Control and Feel

The 16x19 string pattern provides a controlled and responsive feel at impact. The construction helps players place the ball accurately while providing excellent touch for drops, volleys and attacking shots towards the nick.

Modern Design Endorsed by Paul Coll

The Radical 135 X 2026 features a modern asymmetrical design combining black and orange with visible carbon-fibre details. The construction means the carbon-fibre appearance may vary slightly between individual racquets, giving each one a distinctive look.

The model is also endorsed by Paul Coll and features his signature as part of the design.
