 Very good for its priceJun 13, 2007
By Alejandro R. Pazos
I am an intermediate player. I play twice a week with friends but I'm use to knocking the the ball hard with much topsping. The raquect responses well and have a good control. In the net it feels confortable with good touch. Good power and control. I recommend it for beginner and intermetiate players.

Good All-Around RacquetNov 18, 2008
By Justin Ouye
I have one HEAD Intelligence iTour racquet and two of these racquets and am currently looking to buy a third. It is a good all around racquet for intermediate players. Has a nice weight balance, but for beginners, you might want a lighter racquet (see Liquidmetal 8).
This is a good racquet for those who love to volley like me because it is light enough to maneuver at the net, while not extremely light where you lose all of your power at the baseline.
I wasn't too pleased with the built-in vibe-damp, so I bought a couple of extra vibe-damps and stuck one in each of my racquets. This made the racquet slightly more head-heavy, which helped my baseline game. I have an extremely short backswing, so the weight distribution of this racquet is perfect for my swing.
Overall this is a really good racquet for beginners and most intermediate players. Try holding a racquet in a store first though and swing it around a couple of times to get a feel for it. Here is a link with more technical details on the racquet.

Powerful, good intermediate choiceJan 05, 2011
By D. Kliauga
"here fishy fishy"
I own this racquet and a LiquidMetal Radical MP. Now that I have come back to playing again for about 3 years, it is amazing how different the two racquets are. The LM 4 is stiffer and much more powerful, but lacks the control of the LM Radical. Some of this difference might be due to the strings and the tensions I put on the two racquets, but nonetheless, I find that I can't really "hit out" most of the time with the LM 4, and I have to shorten and control my swing more, which causes me to decelerate, causing lack of control. I don't know how many times I have hit the ball just deep or outside the line with the LM 4 and said, "with my orange stick (LM Radical), that would have been in". Thus, I use my LM 4 for practice, and my LM Rad MP for when I have a match that I really want to win. It is amazing how I can use the Rad MP like a surgeons knife, placing the ball on the lines or deep in the corners at will. In any case, the LM 4 is a good balanced stick with nice feel, and it is fun being able to intimidate your opponent with a blistering 1st serve using the LM 4, even if it doesn't always go in. One more thing about the LM 4, the beam is much wider than the LM Rad, which I find causes a higher occurence of frame hits when trying to hit with lots of topspin.

great pro racket for a full fast swingAug 07, 2009
By Sarah C. Roinas
at first i had a lot of difficulty with this racket because the sweet spot is smaller than with bigger, lighter rackets. however now that i have gotten used to it, i love it. the heaviness of the racket has helped my serve tremendously, making it much faster and lower. the one thing is, you can't be lazy about swinging it, you must make a full swing otherwise you will hit on the outer edge of the racket which doesn't have much bounce and you will hit into the net which is what i did constantly the first 3 times i played on it. this racket it great because it forces you to become a better tennis player, when you connect on the sweet spot with this racket it is amazing how fast and low the shot is. i highly recommend it just don't be discouraged at first because it is a lot different than beginner rackets, once you adjust your swing to the racket the results are awesome.
