We loved our experience with the Head Liquidmetal Instinct. Maybe a little too much. You know it's too much when you find yourself wishing you still had one (as opposed to your current racquet, which you happen to love) after you've sent back your demo.
At a very light weight of roughly eleven ounces, the racquet was very easy to maneuver, but wasn't flimsy like other racquets at that weight might be.
We loved the way the racquet connected with our strings, and we were able to place the ball around the court as well as any racquet lets us. While it's light and it has a bigger head, in no way will it limit your game.
One thing the Head Liquidmetal Instinct does do better than the Radical Mid-plus is providing pop (as long as you swing hard because of the light weight). On serves and ground strokes, we felt the power was easier to generate, yet still control. We had no problem placing serves or hitting strong second serves. It was one of the most dependable racquets for serving we have ever tried out.
The light weight of this racquet may lead some to thinking they need to swing much harder than with heavier counterparts, but make no mistake: this racquet gives you all the power you'll need.
Not to worry though, just apply some extra spin, as the structure of the racquet's strings is very conducive to this.
The natural power this racquet gives is a great thing, but may be a little confusing at first. While the power is certainly there on full swings, it gives a little back when you're attempting to block or chip a shot. You'll need to get accustomed to swinging a little harder in these situations, but the light weight should make it easier to do than with other racquets.
This is an excellent racquet for any player with an advanced game. While the light weight of the racquet is still somewhat rare when it comes to racquets in this class, a little tape to weigh it down can definitely ease any concerns about that. We liked it so much we wanted one, so we'd definitely suggest you check this out.
