Head's Popular Tour Series now comes with a choice of a Graphite (GR paddles) or Composite (CO paddles) hitting surfaces. The Graphite version weighs in at 7.9 ounces while the Composite version is 8.1 ounces. It is generally said that a heavier paddle with a composite face is better for power (Force = Mass * acceleration) and that, for control, a lighter paddle with a graphite surface is ideal.
The Radical Tour GR is made for the powerful player who needs stability as well.

HEAD's Graphite Hitting Surface (GHS) combines a crisp feel and more control for an added touch, while the Comfort Grip System ensures a tremendous feel and enhanced vibration dampening.
