Pros and Cons
The Clash 100 is a powerful frame, with good arm comfort, and a manageable weight. However, more advanced players will find the racket does not have enough control.
The Radical MP offers a nice blend of power, spin, and control with a manageable weight but like the Clash, advanced players may find it lacking in terms of control.
Head to Head
In my opinion, the Clash is the better option in terms of power and comfort, while the Radical MP is the better option in terms of spin and control.
