Taylor Fritz’s racquet

Taylor Fritz endorses the HEAD Radical MP (called Tour in some markets), but, like many pros, he is using an older model. Many tennis nerds are actually surprised to hear that Taylor is using a relatively light racquet in a 95-inch head size. This is a low-powered setup, but Fritz has excellent technique and a whippy forehand to generate power.

The racquet Fritz uses underneath the new Radical cosmetic (you can check out the HEAD Radical line from our friends at Tennis Warehouse) is the HEAD IG Radical MP, which has the pro stock code TGT 260.3. The so-called IG or Innegra series from HEAD that came out around 2012 are still treasured by many pros and recreational players. From the Prestige MP (293.2) and the Radical Pro (260.5) to the Extreme IG MP 2.0 (TGT 285.2), to name a few.

Judging by a listing on eBay some years back, Fritz doesn’t even add much weight to his racquets (this could have changed). The weight measured was 299 grams unstrung, and the pics showed some lead tape in the hoop at 12 o’clock. This means the swing weight is relatively high for such a low static weight.

Taylor Fritz uses a hybrid string setup with HEAD Hawk in the mains and Babolat VS Touch 1.30 in the crosses. Tensions might vary according to conditions, but it would be approximately around 50 lbs for the poly and a bit higher for the gut.
