HEAD Radical PRO EX15 Pickleball Paddle

A little extra length goes a long way in fast exchanges. The HEAD Radical PRO EX15 Pickleball Paddle takes the solid, connected feel of the PRO build and stretches it into a 16.5” elongated shape with a 5.5” handle. The result is added reach, more leverage on overheads, and extra swing speed through the contact point without losing stability.

The 15mm Triflex core stacks a polypropylene honeycomb center with EPP perimeter foam and an EVA outer layer. This high-performance layering keeps drives crisp in the middle while expanding dwell time and softening vibration toward the edges. Thermoformed construction reinforces the frame, giving the EX a unified response that holds steady on counters and blocks. The Micro-Forged Raw Carbon face delivers consistent texture and predictable spin, so we can swing aggressively and still trust the ball to dip and drop when we need it to.

Expert Snapshot Review

"The EX15 feels dangerous in the right hands. The extra length gives you leverage on put aways and more coverage at the kitchen. It still feels solid and planted, just with more extension and whip. Great for players who like to attack off the bounce." - PickleballCentral Gear Expert
