Absolutely horrible racquet
I am an advanced beginner when it comes to tennis and was looking for a better racquet to improve my game. I have had 2 HEAD racuqets before and after reading some glowing reviews on Amazon, I decided to order one for myself. Unfortunately, I have to disagree with the 4 and 5 stars given to this product.

Excellent racket, real light and loaded with power, October 3, 2006
This is my second Tennis racket, i have the Wilson US Open as a beginner and played with it for a year. I have been playing with the Head LiquidMetal 8 for a week now and i have to say it is amazing. Extremely light(on the UPS scale stringed it weighed .60 lbs) and packed with a punch this racket has increased my confidence level tremendously, i can't blame anything on the racket anymore so i try extra hard and have definitely improved a lot in just a week. Look and feel of the racket is definitely a plus, it has the integrated vibration dampers so you can't lose it while playing. Comes with a full cover in Black and Silver/Gray to match the racket. I got this with Free Shipping through Amazon - MidWest Sports - with no tax, even the stores can't beat that. Got the Racket and 2 cans of Balls delivered at my door for what other stores are selling only the racket for.
Amazon is the best, i am completely satisfied with the whole experience.

Excellent Head Tennis Racquet, April 18, 2008
Just getting back to tennis after many years following shoulder injury. Previous A Grade Comp player - now just social tennis. Bought Head Liquidmetal 8 racquet online through Amazon and it was delivered to my address in Sydney Australia in about one week. Excellent racquet to play with, huge sweet spot, feels light and well balanced with minimal vibration transmitted. A very smooth transaction, excellent racquet and good experience generally.

Very good for intermediate players, October 24, 2008
Very good racquet with a perfect blend of power and control. It is best suited for intermediate players, but improving beginners as well as advanced players will find it is a nice racquet to play with. The only time I found it a bit difficult to control was when I was trying to hit the ball really hard and heavy or at the net when given very little time for volley. Otherwise it performs really well at the net, as well as in other parts of the court. It is light and feels right in the hand. Very good deal for this price.

Improved my daughter's game, November 7, 2007
We didn't know that the racquet has a big influence in playing. As a beginner, my daughter's game improved tremendously when she started using the racquet.

Great gift, June 22, 2009
At first Midwest sent me an email that it was on back order til 6/19. I was very disappointed I wouldn't be able to give it to him on Father's Day. Then it came on 6/19! They have a good service to let you know what's going on with your order. And you can't beat the $. My husband absolutely loves it and it's so light yet sturdy. It's a great raquet. I chose this from consumersearch review which listed as #1 for the beginner and intermediate.
Make sure to order the cover together. It's only $10 and you actually can get them together for freeshipping rather than paying $6 for shipping if you get the raquet only.

Shot Maker, June 27, 2009
Excellent balance and feel. Most comfortable racquet I've ever had. I'm a senior power is not my priority, but this racquet works well in that category, too.

Absolutely horrible racquet, September 24, 2008
I am an advanced beginner when it comes to tennis and was looking for a better racquet to improve my game. I have had 2 HEAD racuqets before and after reading some glowing reviews on Amazon, I decided to order one for myself. Unfortunately, I have to disagree with the 4 and 5 stars given to this product.
From the moment I got this racquet, I was having this uneasy experience of hearing weird sounds coming out about 90% of the time. I know that I don't hit the ball in the center sweet spot all the time but I would hear this pop sound almost every time. I had it shown to a semi-professional who agreed that there was something wrong. So, I contacted the seller about getting it replaced, which they gladly did.
Upon getting the second racquet, I started hearing the same kinds of noises which really disappointed me. So, I thought there was probably something wrong with the way I was hitting the ball and decided to put in an additional dampener (remember, this racquet comes with an in-built dampener) and also put in a new grip after reading some reviews that it might help. Neither worked and after a week or so, I heard a big pop and the next thing I see is that the racquet is broken....I could not believe my eyes and called up the seller again. This time, I requested to have the racquet replaced by another brand or be given a refund. I am hoping one of them works out. I am not convinced that I got a defective racquet twice - this has something to do with the quality of the product itself...
My sincere suggestion to anyone considering buying this one - if you are an advanced beginner or an intermediate player, please STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE. You are better off spending your money on a Prince O3 or other ones from the Head series...LIQUIDMETAL 8, from my experience, is for absolute beginners.
Hope this helps. Enjoy the tennis....

great tennis racquet, February 17, 2009
I received this racquet as a Christmas gift, it was a little tight at first and it took a little for me to get used to it after playing with a Wilson racquet from Target. After 2 or 3 sets though, it's totally worth it. My game is already improving. If you've tried this racquet and don't like it, my advice is to give it another shot. It takes a few games to get used to the frame size, and I would also recommend slamming some balls into a net or backboard for about an hour to work the "new" feel out of the face.
