Product Description The Head Liquidmetal 4 still offers some of the controlled feel of Head's player's racquets, but with a more forgiving sweetspot and significantly lighter weight. More forgiving than the Liquidmetal 2, but more controlled than the Liquidmetal 8, the Liquidmetal 4 is geared toward an intermediate player with a moderate to fast swing who requires a slightly larger sweetspot than traditional player's racquets. Open string pattern further enhances spin and size of the sweetspot. NoShox handle reduces vibrations by 27% without dampening feel.
Good All-Around RacquetNovember 18, 2008 I have one HEAD Intelligence iTour racquet and two of these racquets and am currently looking to buy a third. It is a good all around racquet for intermediate players. Has a nice weight balance, but for beginners, you might want a lighter racquet (see Liquidmetal 8).
This is a good racquet for those who love to volley like me because it is light enough to maneuver at the net, while not extremely light where you lose all of your power at the baseline.
I wasn't too pleased with the built-in vibe-damp, so I bought a couple of extra vibe-damps and stuck one in each of my racquets. This made the racquet slightly more head-heavy, which helped my baseline game. I have an extremely short backswing, so the weight distribution of this racquet is perfect for my swing.
Overall this is a really good racquet for beginners and most intermediate players. Try holding a racquet in a store first though and swing it around a couple of times to get a feel for it. Here is a link with more technical details on the racquet.

Solid RacketSeptember 18, 2008 Don't have time to write a long-long review. In all, it's a high quality racket, but not good for beginners as its size is relative small
tennisJuly 31, 2008 received on time, the racquet takes some time to get used to, but I am 50+ and used to be a medium player, trying to get back into the sport.
Great Racquet for the PriceJuly 16, 2008 Bought this for my husband...he was ready for something more responsive...he loves it. The company we bought it from was fast out with the shipping--though there was some delay that was unexplained...we would definitely buy from them again.

Not a bad racket but I have not been able to maximize my power on the racket yet cos of my Tennis elbow. It does not have too much vibrations. Good for Intermediate player. Might be heavy for Beginners.
