This racquet has been around for several years now, but the Head Liquidmetal Radical remains a competitive racquet for intermediate and advanced players, and one version is actually used by the pros.
Those familiar with previous Radicals will notice this racquet is a little heavier than in the past. This is a welcomed change for us because the ground strokes feel a lot more comfortable. Actually, everything off the ground felt very comfortable with the Head Liquidmetal Radical. The feel on slices, top spins and volleys were all great and felt crisp with tons of control.
In the serving department, the Liquidmetal Radical passes the test with flying colors. The sweet spot is sizable and allows for a smooth serve, and an equally comfortable return of serve.
The Liquidmetal Radical is one of the most successful racquets in tennis history as far as sales are concerned, and much of it has to do with the overall frame and comfort it gives to its owners.
The over-sized version of this player's racquet adds 9 square inches to the head size for those looking for a bigger sweet spot and a little more power with their Head Liquidmetal Radical.
Most advanced players run when they hear over-sized, but this played very nicely for us. The power provided by this Liquidmetal Radical is solid, but the control it has helps players who want both a bigger head size and control.
Serving is a huge plus with the Head Liquidmetal Racquet. While it seemed difficult as far as the slice and topspin serves were concerned, a great flat serve resulted from the racquet's generous sweet spot.
We found that spin was an issue on the ground as well. It was certainly easier to apply topspin to our ground strokes with the mid-plus than it was with the over-sized, but all in all, we were happy with both models.
More advanced players would probably prefer the mid-plus to the over-sized, but both of these models proved to be excellent racquets, and the rest of the tennis world seems to agree.
