For a “tweener” racquet (one in between a game performance and a casual one), the Head Liquidmetal 4 might be one of the best ones you can find. It has been on the market for a while now, but publications like Tennis Magazine still praise the Head Liquidmetal 4 as an Editor’s Choice racquet.

This racquet is ideally targeted at players between a 3.0 and 4.5 rating, so if you find yourself within that range, you may be interested in demoing or purchasing this racquet. While most racquets for players of this caliber are on the heavier side, the Liquidmetal 4′s weight is attractive to its owners.

Like all the Head Liquidmetal racquets, this one is very comfortable and easy to maneuver. You really feel in control of the ball coming off your racquet. The shock off the string bed many become used to with lower level racquets disappears with this one. The Head Liquidmetal 4 does a good job of being a true player-friendly racquet.



The power off the ground with the Head Liquidmetal 4 makes it easy for someone who might not have the fastest swing hit the ball deep. The large sweet spot also proved to be very forgiving.

When demoing the racquet, we saw the racquet’s greatest asset as its serving and overhead prowess. While the racquet’s a little lightweight so swinging too hard may be risky, once you’ve adapted, you’ll find some great control in these situations. It’s also good in the spin department too.

The Liquidmetal truly bridges the gap between intermediate and advanced players, and many players have kept the racquet despite advancing from one level to the next.

It is more of a transition racquet as you probably will end up changing to a better player’s racquet once your game improves. Making that transition though is that much easier with the great comfort and feel of the Head Liquidmetal 4.
