Yes. There are other measures for ions (ionic radius) and free atoms(atomic radius) and covalent radius. Metallic, ionic and covalent are based on measurements of distances in crystals or covelnt bond lengths, atomic radius is based more on calcuation than observation.

Why do alkali's get softer down the group 1?

Alkali metals get softer down Group 1 due to an increase in atomic size and weaker metallic bonding. As you move down the group, the atomic radius increases, leading to a decrease in the strength of metallic bonding and making the metals softer.
