I would not recommend this racquet to most beginners and intermediates, because you have to generate the power with this racquet. For beginners and intermediates that means your footwork has to be perfect, swing and timing has to be perfect and have to hit the ball in the center of the racquet every time, most people cannot do that unless you are an intermediate who plays at least 3X a week or an advanced player.

I've been playing tennis since 10 and after 40 years, I like middle of the road racquets such as the Wilson Ultra 100 and Babolet Pure Drive. I own both of them and with slight mods they play somewhat similar. As others mentioned the Slickdeal is going to a local tennis shop and demoing some rackets first, that way you get a racquet you will keep for a long time.

FYI- there are other/better racquets on sale at TW for similar prices:
Yonex eZone- last year's model $179- much more friendly all around racquet
Wilson Ultra 100 V2 older model - $159 one of the best selling raquets 7 years ago
and the best selling racquet in the world:
Babolet Pure Drive 100 , the 2018 model is $179
but I would go to a local tennis shop and demo some to see which one fits your style, Tennis is half psychological so you would p[lay better if you are comfortable with your racquet.

I learned to get previous year models and save at least $100. Not much change besides aesthetic design and color. Of course, it's best to demo multiple rackets and remember that overgrip and type of string makes a huge difference.

4.5-5.0 here. I used to love my 97/98 sq inch head size racquets purely for the feel and control. As I get older, I find myself using 100+ sq inch racquets just because they're so much easier and more forgiving.

What tennis strings do you recommend? Why is this racket so good? Sorry I'm a noobie who recently got into tennis.
It all depends on your level and how frequently you play, check out your local store and ask for their recommendation on strings. This racket is known for being really good all around (as opposed to others which are really good in one area), that being said still not a good fit for everyone. Since everyone has such different playing styles

How does it compare to the radical MP? That one is discounted to 199.
I used to use the radical MP until my bag got stolen. The balance of the radical always felt a tad too head heavy. I was looking for something more head light and the speed MP was what I was looking for. It's also 100 sq inch so a tiny bit larger than the radical (something i wanted too). It's pretty much like the radical besides all that.

What's the difference between both the models?
I'm sure the weight for one. As a long time player, as noted before, these are not beginners rackets and if you're a 4.0 or above, you would know that you need to demo any given stick in order to know if it's the one for you. Specs on paper, for the most part, are there to give you a general idea if a racquet would "probably" be in the range of what you're looking for (if you know what you're looking for, i.e. overall weight, swing weight, pts head light or head heavy, stiffness, etc...); But choosing a tennis racquet is more about how it feel in your hand and how it plays, rather than the physical attributes alone. So, my advice is if this racquet has the specs you're looking for, don't buy first but rather demo it...then you can make that decision. Otherwise, it probably will turn into a $150 art piece on your wall Smilie I have a few of these "art pieces" myself. Therefore, I am an experienced "spec sheet" buyer...at one time in years past. Cheers!!

Btw, if you're local shop don't have these models to demo, TW has a demo program where you can select up to 4 racquets to try for a week for $20. And if you buy any racquet, I believe the $20 go towards the purchase. It's been years since I use their demo program so I'm not up to date on their policy but you can click on the demo program and it will explain everything or you can call and inquire about it. Hope this helps someone.

Overall Speed MP 360+ is a little easier to use then the Radical 360+ Mp. Radical has a tighter, but more rewarding sweetspot. The Speed MP forgiving. Feel is a little better on the Radical.

RHS Radical is an insanely quick racquet.Speed Mp moves well for it size.

What is a good tennis racket for a 11-year old who has learned tennis for a few years? There are so many different rackets.

A lot of truth to this.
When metal rackets first came out in 1980s, the Prince Classic was a great racket.

I'm sure the ones at Walmart have similar basic characteristics. Aluminum, light.

Intuitive Tennis did a comparison and he recommended the $15 Walmart racket.

There's also a YT video of a rec player pulling a Classic or and playing really well with it.

Costco often has half-decent rackets for ~$50. Generally only have 4 3/8 grips though, so not good for larger hands.

Correct
Ezone 98 2022 is the same as 2021 deep blue on both 98 and 98 Tour options. The only difference is the paint job.

Start with multi-filament.
Holds tension longer, so it'll be cheaper.
Literally.
I stopped playing for 16 years, and when I started again, the multi strings in my rackets were still about 3-4 pounds within what I had string them at. Before I restrung, I played a little with them, and they felt good.

Today, I use a hybrid setup with poly mains and multi crosses. I string my own, so the cost is like $5 for me. Unless you string yourself, at $40+ a job, using poly is going to be expensive because tension is lost quickly. I'm currently an intermediate player looking to get back to 4.5-5.0 level (probably never going to happen due to age, knees, and shoulder), and I practice/exercise two-three times a week rotating 5 rackets each time (50-60 balls per racket), and I restring all of them monthly. If I go too long, when I play in groups, my balls sail, so it is definitely noticeable. I use Alu Power Rough or Tourna Silver as my mains with synthetic gut as my crosses. Since I do my own stringing, I buy reels and limit waste to maximize the number of jobs that I can do.

Really depends on what type of player you are. If you're a beginner, just get the basic nylon 15L or 16g (aka synthetic gut) strings. They will be good enough to start with. If you're a more advanced player, then it will depend on what you want to improve. Thinner strings will let you impart more spin on the ball, but they will tend to break more frequently. The poly strings are intended for heavier hitters, and I understand they can be pretty harsh on the elbows.

I like a hybrid setup with 17g or 18g kevlar mains and syn-gut crosses. The thin kevlar really bites into the ball and helps modulate the power of an oversize racket. It also lasts longer since I use a lot of spin and break strings frequently.
