Head Metallix 10 Tennis Racket

Head Metallix 4 = Pretty good!

Advantages: Great spin, good strokes all round, decent serves and volleys. Good all-round racket.
Disadvantages: 107sq inch headsize, possibly too big? Not too much control on volleys. but that is all!

Iv'e had this racket for approx 6 months. Was moving from a Babolat Aeropro drive (original), only because I just don't think the Babolat is particularly suited to my game (And the strings broke!). I'm a steady player, not brilliant but still play well. I bought it from the Tennis Warehouse website in the US. I had it custom strung with Head Sonic Pro 17 gauge string at 60lbs. I didn't know much about the strings or the tension but enough to kinda know what I was doing after reading many reviews! At first I found the racket hard to get used to, shots spraying all over the shop and just pretty poor play! However, I think this was down to my ability at the time and the change between rackets. I decided to keep playing with it anyway, (I didnt have much choice as the Babolat was being re-strung anyway). After few days of hitting my strokes ...

Review of Head Metallix 4 Tennis Racket

Head LM 120 Squash racket

Advantages: Light but tough
Disadvantages: poor factory grip

I bought this squash racket as a amateur after my last racket broke the strings and I thought it better to buy a good racket rather than replace the strings. The price was fantastic as a i bought it in Lilywhites with 70% off, but if buying full price i would say it is a bit pricey. However the performance of the racket if top draw. I've had it for a few years now and still it is serving me very well. The durability of this racket is one of the hidden qualities i have found. With me not being a brilliant squash player, I've had my fair share of wall hits, but the protective plastic on the frame is still protecting and it has not even chipped or scratched. The racket also looks very good and I've been asked many a time if i could lend my racket for people to have a go. it hits well and suits a hard hitting game but can equally handle ...

Review of Head LM 120 Squash Racket

Very smooth and weighty racket, you need arms like Nadal!

Advantages: spin, power, good strings and style
Disadvantages: heavy racket

Okay, I don't officially own this racket but I ordered a few tennis rackets on trial and the Babolat AeroPro Plus is one of them. As used by Rafael Nadal. I found it personally a bit on the heavy side ( about 11.1oz strung). Nevertheless this racket does feel good especially when used for various spin shots and baseline shots. I found it especially good for slice serving, it really gives a nice kick and due to the longer length of the racket it enabled me to reach a bit further when I am stretching and greatly benefits on my serve. In my opinion this is a head heavy racket combined this with the cortex filter system (reduces vibration) and aero frame design it gives a better feel of the ball and enhances maneuverability meaning that more power can be generated. It has a nice size head at 100sq.in. which gives a nice sized sweet ...
