The Head Liquid Metal 4 is a Midplus racket with a
102 square inch head. It weighs 9.5 ounces (unstrung) and is 27.3
inches
long. The cross section of the racket is an even 25 mm. The racket uses
Head's new Liquidmetal alloy, which transmits
about 40% more energy than Titanium. Four points on the racket frame
have concentrations of the alloy, creating a box around the sweet spot.
Piezzoelectric fibers (aka Intellifibers) are also used in this racket.
These fibers convert stress into energy so that they stiffen when under
strain; this causes the force of a ball hitting the racket to be
transferred right back. The grip uses NoShox technoloy, which
incorporates Memory Foam to reduce strain on the elbow. It also has
Total Sweetspot Construction, which increases head stability and
reduces torsional twisting. It comes a
Head Vibration Absorber
and with the Full Racket Case shown in the picture, which has an
adjustable shoulder strap.
