If you’re the type of player who’s somewhere within the intermediate/advanced range and looking to bring your game to the next level, the Head Liquidmetal 4 may be just what you’re looking for. This racquet has become a staple in tennis circles, winning the Editor’s Choice award at Tennis Magazine recently as well.

Best suited for this racquet would be teens and adults between a 3.0 and 4.5, and the racquet’s flexible set of offerings facilitates much improvement in one’s game. Though most racquets for players of this level are heavier than racquets for beginners and intermediates, the Liquidmetal 4 is lighter, but not obnoxiously so.

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.



For a light racquet, this racquet has a decent amount of power as well. The ability to swing rather rapidly helps its cause, and a nice sweet spot gives each shot a good feel.

Serving and overheads were our favorite shots to perform with the Head Liquidmetal 4. It had decent power, but the swing weight was a little too light for our liking. So when serving, you might see the first few serves sail on you as you adjust. Once that is squared away, we were able to serve balls with the Head 
Liquidmetal 4 with power and location. Spin was fairly easy to generate as well, with nice control.



While we have plenty of years of tennis experience and fall into the advanced range, we didn’t feel like we were playing down to the level of another racquet when testing it. Our 15-year-old (intermediate) daughter tested it out and loved it too. That says a lot about a racquet.

On the other hand, with plenty of options available for advanced players, the Liquidmetal 4 could very well serve as the catalyst to help your game to that next level. We’d definitely recommend considering this racquet.
