Reviewing the Head Liquidmetal 8 Racquet

Advanced beginners and intermediates have quickly taken a liking to the Head Liquidmetal 8, one of the more recent successes in the wildly popular Liquidmetal line. Owners brag about the racquet’s light weight, generous head size, and great mix of control and power.
Weighing in at less than a pound, owners of the racquet can easily hit their shots early due to their success in executing fast swings with the racquet. Net play is just as easy, as the light weight once again lends itself well to volleys. A huge sweet spot on the racquet makes things less intimidating in an otherwise challenging situation.
The racquet’s ability to please various ranges of players is one of its most appealing assets, as someone at the advanced beginner level can easily grow with this racquet all the way through the intermediate range. For example, unlike most racquets at this level, it’s quite easy to apply spin to ground strokes despite the light weight and huge racquet head.
The racquet’s strings are very conducive to topspin and slice shots, and Head’s unique “Total Sweetspot Construction” is largely responsible for this. This new technology will probably find its way to other racquets to come out of the Liquidmetal line in the future.
Though it’s a lightweight racquet, the frame adjusts very nicely to hard swings and doesn’t cause the ball to be over hit, as many other racquets like this do.
Most racquets this light end up limiting your ability to swing too hard, or the ball may fly into the opposite fence. In this case, the racquet’s spin-friendly string structure allows for some powerful ground strokes without worries of being limited by the racquet’s build.
We see this racquet as the ideal 2-3 year racquet for someone looking to rapidly advance their game. If you’re a more casual player and looking to play a few times per year, this is the type of racquet that could easily find its place in your life for many years to come.
The Head Liquidmetal 8 is overall one of the best oversized player racquets you can find in a nice price range.
