Head Metallix 4 Tennis Racket

by Albert on May 15, 2010

The Head Metallix line is derived from a composition of carbon fibers and a new crystalline metal alloy which creates light but strong metal alloy. The Head Metallix 4 is considered a tweener option in the line; its oversize head of 107 square inches offers plenty of power and control not to mention an ample of sweet spot.

Tennis rackets nowadays are often built with different technologies to further empower them and the Metallix 4 is no different. The Head Stabilizer is introduced in this racket, where it functions to eliminate unwanted racket vibrations so you can increase your comfort in every play. The Metallix 4 is also empowered by a new throat design called Head LMS (Longer Main String). The design serves the purpose to create a larger surface (bigger sweet spot for you!) without actually enlarging the racket itself.

Unlike its predecessors, the Head Metallix 4 is said to be lighter and more maneuverable. It’s recommended for 3.5 – 4.5 level players who would prefer some power in their rackets while still being able to maintain control on the game.

However, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. There have been contradicting feedbacks for the Head Metallix 4, ranging from the good to the bad:

“The Metallix 4 gave me a decent amount of power, depth and topspin on my groundstroke but fell short in most other areas.” – Tim, Berkley, MI, USA –

“It improved my game in every way. I have a lot more topspin, more power, more control, volleys improved, and I had more spin and power on my serves. I just had to get this racquet and it helped me win 2 matches so far into the season.” – Josh, Florence, NJ, USA –

“I bought this racquet last year, and it instantly gave me tennis elbow. I think this is because of the head heaviness and light weight. Volleys are horrible with this racquet and serves are great.” – Rasheeq, USA -

“With this racquet I don’t even feel it on my elbow, and I’ve sacrificed very little power and gained a lot more control. I’ve let most of the team try it out, with not one complaint. I’d recommend this racquet to anyone.” – Graham, Westerly, RI, USA –

Head Flexpoint Prestige Tennis Racket

by Albert on May 14, 2010

The first thing I saw when I look up for Head Flexpoint Prestige was this review:
“This racquet rules the HEAD world. It has the ‘whack’, the feel, the weight and the spin. It’s simply a complete racquet for the powerful player.” -H. B. Malallah (New York)-

Head Flexpoint Prestige Tennis Racket

Indeed, this Head Flexpoint Prestige Tennis Racket, powered by Flexpoint Technology, NoShox Dampening System, and Total Sweetspot Construction, has much to offer to its player. The Flexpoint Prestige has “precisely engineered hole” at the 3 & 9 o’clock positions on the racquet head. These “dimples” can apparently create flexibility by reducing a maximum of 25% of beam height and also up to 50% of sectional stiffness. Hence the racket is capable of ‘cupping’ the ball and then creating a narrower path for it. It provides a much more directional control in the game.

The racket has midsize head, which is about 98 square inches and weighs about 12.10 ounces when strung. Testers have vouched for its large sweetspot and great ability for flexibility. While it has retained its classic feel, it was also improved in terms of mobility, power and control.

The Head Flexpoint Prestige Tennis Racket is most suitable for advanced to pro players and has been used by several professional players themselves. It would also be best if the players prefer to bring in their own power into the game, as the racket does well in complementing that strength.

Testers reviewed that the Head Flexpoint Prestige Tennis Racket is a solid and powerful racket but might be a little too hefty for junior players. It is, after all, created for the pros.
