Total Sweetspot Construction incorporates a corrugated construction to further increase stability in the racquet head.

From all areas of the court, we found the Liquidmetal 8 to be very stable for such a light racquet - helped by an almost even balance. Stronger improving players will find good control by adding more spin to their strokes with the Liquidmetal 8 - easily done thanks to the racquet's spin friendly stringbed. At net the racquet feels stable, controllable and very comfortable. Best suited to players at the 2.0-4.5 level.
