    Who each paddle is for

    Head Gravity Team EX

    Best for intermediate players (3.5-4.5) looking for a balanced upgrade who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 14mm core balances pop and control, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: control, all-around

    Head Radical Pro

    Best for intermediate players (3.5-4.5) looking for a balanced upgrade who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The elongated shape extends your reach at the kitchen line, the 15mm core balances pop and control, and the fiberglass face emphasizes pop over spin.

    Playing style: power

    Pickle's verdict
