The HEAD Radical PRO EX15 Standard keeps the 15mm TriFlex + micro-forged raw carbon recipe in a more compact shape with lower swing weight (~112) and higher twist weight (~6.9) than elongated. MSRP $199.95; ~$170 with PRH15.
PRH15 The Verdict
Standard Radical PRO — quicker hands, same raw-carbon story.
Standard shape is the Radical PRO we preferred for mixed doubles nights — less tip, more time on the ball when hands get messy. After thorough on-court evaluation, the HEAD Radical PRO EX15 Standard is a strong fit for doubles players who want head radical pro spin and a more compact, maneuverable face than the elongated — see category scores below for power, control, spin, and feel.
If you're comparing it against other foam-core paddles, it's one of several great foam core paddles we've played this year.

Performance Scores
PRH15 On-Court Feel
Quicker prep than elongated with a slightly larger effective sweet spot for rushed blocks. Power is a half-step down on pure put-aways; control and maneuverability tick up.\n\nSpin matches the elongated sibling when you brush fully. Soft game is more cooperative than elongated because you are not fighting length.\n\nIf you liked HEAD tennis frames that were standard rather than extended, this is the familiar silhouette.
