The lightest and most maneuverable "4" series racquet from HEAD since the Ti. 4 racquets, the Metallix 4 offers excellent mobility from all areas of the court. With the stiffer Metallix material in the throat and the new HEAD Stabilizer system, this racquet blends maneuverability with a stable response. The open string pattern combines with the low swingweight to offer easy access to spin and plenty of ball speed off the stringbed. At net the racquet offers some nice pop to get volleys away. The feel from the racquet is comfortable from all areas of the court, yet there's not too much dampening to hinder placement on touch volleys etc. Impressively, the racquet feels very solid at impact - much more so than found with most racquets in this weight class. Overall, the Metallix 4 offers lots of performance for players at the 3.5-4.5 level, as well as more advanced players seeking added power and mobility from their racquet.
