Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The game of tennis is changing, and one of Head's key goals is to create specific technologies that ideally fit players' varied needs. That's why the company developed Liquidmetal technology, a revolutionary new material that produces a unique blend of power and control. The unique Liquidmetal atomic structure is 2-1/2 times stronger than titanium and delivers 29 percent more power. That means faster serves, better returns, and superior volleys. The secret to Liquidmetal's performance is its liquid atomic structure, which does not deform on impact. This allows Liquidmetal racquets to efficiently utilize the pure energy of each ball impact rather than losing it during the swing. Head takes full advantage of Liquidmetal by applying it to four strategic areas of the Liquidmetal 4's head, letting you power through the ball with confidence.

The Liquidmetal 4 racquet also employs several other Head technologies. The racquet's Total Sweetspot Construction (TSC), for example, offers an innovative corrugated structure that increases the torsional stability in the racquet head. This corrugation extends the sweet spot through the entire head, resulting in superior control. Now you'll feel like you've hit the sweet spot with every shot. The racquet also includes Head's NoShox dampening system, which consists of a unique memory foam integrated into the racquet handle. The NoShox system significantly reduces racquet vibrations by more than 27 percent compared to conventional racquets, so even the most powerful game will be easy on the arm. Finally, the Liquidmetal 4 includes an integrated string dampener that's fixed onto the grommets. The string dampener reduces string vibration even more, encouraging a more comfortable swing while creating the perfect sound and feel when you hit the ball.

The perfectly balanced mid-plus Liquidmetal 4 racquet is ideal for players with a moderate swing style.

About Head
Head's roots trace back to 1950, when Howard Head--the inventor of the first metal ski--founded the company. Head added the Tyrolia bindings and Mares diving brands in the 1970s, and more recently acquired the Penn ball and Dacor diving brands in the 1990s. Although the parent company is organized into four divisions--winter sports, racquet sports, diving, and licensing--Head itself is primarily focused on racquet games, including tennis, squash, paddle, racquetball, and badminton. Head has locations throughout the world, but maintains its U.S. operations in Norwalk, Connecticut, and Phoenix, Arizona.

Product Description

The Head Liquidmetal 4 still offers some of the controlled feel of Head's player's racquets, but with a more forgiving sweetspot and significantly lighter weight. More forgiving than the Liquidmetal 2, but more controlled than the Liquidmetal 8, the Liquidmetal 4 is geared toward an intermediate player with a moderate to fast swing who requires a slightly larger sweetspot than traditional player's racquets. Open string pattern further enhances spin and size of the sweetspot. NoShox handle reduces vibrations by 27% without dampening feel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for its price, June 13, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Head Liquidmetal 4 Tennis Racquet (Misc.)
I am an intermediate player. I play twice a week with friends but I'm use to knocking the the ball hard with much topsping. The raquect responses well and have a good control. In the net it feels confortable with good touch. Good power and control. I recommend it for beginner and intermetiate players.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good All-Around Racquet, November 18, 2008
By 
Justin Ouye (California, USA) - See all my reviews
I have one HEAD Intelligence iTour racquet and two of these racquets and am currently looking to buy a third. It is a good all around racquet for intermediate players. Has a nice weight balance, but for beginners, you might want a lighter racquet (see Liquidmetal 8).

This is a good racquet for those who love to volley like me because it is light enough to maneuver at the net, while not extremely light where you lose all of your power at the baseline.

I wasn't too pleased with the built-in vibe-damp, so I bought a couple of extra vibe-damps and stuck one in each of my racquets. This made the racquet slightly more head-heavy, which helped my baseline game. I have an extremely short backswing, so the weight distribution of this racquet is perfect for my swing.

Overall this is a really good racquet for beginners and most intermediate players. Try holding a racquet in a store first though and swing it around a couple of times to get a feel for it. Here is a link with more technical details on the racquet.
