The Head Liquidmetal Radical has been a staple in the tennis world for most of the decade now, and a classic racquet at that. Used by advanced amateurs and professionals alike, this is one of the more popular racquets in the tennis world, and with good reason.
While this racquet is a bit on the heavy side, it actually lends itself well to smooth ground strokes as a result. Everything feels steady and firm due to the racquet's weight, and the spin it puts on the ball is great.
When serving, the Liquidmetal Radical mid-plus gave us excellent control over the ball, and each serve felt great coming off the racquet. Returning serves at high speeds was no problem either.
Perhaps our favorite element of the racquet was the effect that it had on our ground strokes, as the control and spin the mid-plus allowed us to put on the ball was really one of the best we've ever experienced when testing a racquet. No wonder it's such a popular seller!
While the mid-plus has a somewhat small frame, which gives the racquet its excellent sense of control, anyone looking for a larger racquet head should strongly consider the over-sized model.
While most experienced players will generally frown upon an over-sized racquet, we had no qualms with it here. The control that's usually sacrificed with an over-sized racquet didn't seem to be much of an issue this time around.
Serving is extremely comfortable with this racquet. It packs a good deal of power with an easy swing weight. The control is there, and with the head size, the Head Liquidmetal Radical could become a nice weapon for a serve and volley player.
The only drawback we noticed while trying this Over-sized Liquidmetal Radical was it didn't quite generate as much spin as we wanted. This is obviously not a problem if you tend to not hit with a ton of spin, but just don't expect to slice and top spin your way to victory with this racquet.
Anyone looking for a steady racquet to complement their advanced game will be really happy with the Head Liquidmetal Radical. We certainly were.
