Two elongated paddles, side by side. Specs are the published figures; prices are what US stores charged at our latest check, shipping included.
What actually separates them
- Head Radical Pro EX15 is the heavier of the two, by about 0.3 oz. Heavier paddles hit harder and feel more stable; lighter ones are quicker in hand battles.
- JOOLA Magnus Pro IV 16mm has the thicker core (16 mm against 15 mm). Thicker cores usually feel softer and more controlled; thinner ones give more pop.
- Head Radical Pro EX15 has the longer handle (5.5 in against 5 in), which matters if you hit two-handed backhands.
- Grip sizes differ: Head Radical Pro EX15 is 4.125 in around, JOOLA Magnus Pro IV 16mm 4.25 in. An overgrip adds size; nothing takes it away.
