best buy Head Liquid Metal reviews

This is my second Tennis racket, i have the Wilson US Open as a beginner and played with it for a year. I have been playing with the Head LiquidMetal 8 for a week now and i have to say it is amazing. Extremely light(on the UPS scale stringed it weighed .60 lbs) and packed with a punch this racket has increased my confidence level tremendously, i can't blame anything on the racket anymore so i try extra hard and have definitely improved a lot in just a week. Look and feel of the racket is definitely a plus, it has the integrated vibration dampers so you can't lose it while playing. Comes with a full cover in Black and Silver/Gray to match the racket. I got this with Free Shipping through Amazon - MidWest Sports - with no tax, even the stores can't beat that. Got the Racket and 2 cans of Balls delivered at my door for what other stores are selling only the racket for.Very good racquet with a perfect blend of power and control. It is best suited for intermediate players, but improving beginners as well as advanced players will find it is a nice racquet to play with. The only time I found it a bit difficult to control was when I was trying to hit the ball really hard and heavy or at the net when given very little time for volley. Otherwise it performs really well at the net, as well as in other parts of the court. It is light and feels right in the hand. Very good deal for this price. Just getting back to tennis after many years following shoulder injury. Previous A Grade Comp player - now just social tennis. Bought Head Liquidmetal 8 racquet online through Amazon and it was delivered to my address in Sydney Australia in about one week. Excellent racquet to play with, huge sweet spot, feels light and well balanced with minimal vibration transmitted. A very smooth transaction, excellent racquet and good experience generally. I was using "Walmart" rackets before (25-40 Dollars range) and one of my friends had this racket which felt quite lighter and was softer on my elbows.

I played with it a casual game as well and found it quite good, so I purchased it.

I play both full swings and spins.

I've used it extensively in past 4 weeks and found that it is indeed better for my elbows. However, my swing is gone. It feels heavy when I try to move it around faster, which wasn't the case with early rackets that I had.

So, will I recommend it? Sure, if you are playing long swing games from behind the court lines. But if you are thinking about going back and forth with quick swings on the court and get fast swings on the serves as well... this may not be the best choice. I am a beginner (been taking lessons for about 3 months) and just had a racket I picked up used at a sporting goods store. I felt like I was ready for "the right" racket so after some research I picked up the Liquidmetal 8. What a difference! There is a marked improvement in the shots I'm taking and I miss less because of the large sweet spot. Would definitely recommend this racket!

should i buy Wilson [K] Six.Two Tennis Racquet reviews

The Wilson K Six Two 100 is the next generation of the nCode n6 and nSix Two and remains one of the most versatile choices in the K Factor line. With the KSix Two, Wilson has combined the power, stability, and crispness of K Factor technology with a slightly more versatile, and a surprisingly controlled 25mm beam. No longer head heavy (as with previous generation n6 and Hammer 6.2), the KSix Two is more maneuverable and feels slightly lighter than its 10.5 oz. strung weight suggests. The KSix Two suits a wide variety of playing styles and ability levels, as long as the player possesses a moderate to long swing. All [K] Factor racquets utilize Wilson's proprietary next-generation [K]arophite Black structure which adds additional bonds between the SiO2 and graphite molecules on a nanoscopic scale, resulting in more feel and a stronger, more stable racquet. Overall, there are 4 new key [K] Factor technology concepts found in various configurations depending on the [K] Factor model. Let me begin by saying that I'm an intermediate/advanced player who bought this racquet for all-court play. I'm am offensive/defensive baseliner. Though I make the trip to the net when play dictates.

Basics: The K Six-Two is very good for those who have medium to long strokes and are looking for something that offers a good compromise between oversized racquets (110+ sq. in.) and compact racquets (~90 sq. in.). It delivers a very good mix of power and control when strung at the balance of its recommended stringing tension (@ 58 lb.). At 10.6 oz. it's weighted fairly closely to the racquets of the pros, so those just starting out might find it a tad on the heavy side.

Advanced: I recommend hitting flatter shots with this racquet since its string bed is 16 X 19. The denser pattern designates a slight preference for flatter shots as opposed to shots with spin. This is because there are more strings touching the ball at the contact point. More strings in contact indicates a preference for power. Less strings in contact would indicate that a racquet was designed for more spin, since there is more "bite" on the ball at contact. On a side note, I use the backhand slice and forehand topspin in my games and the Six-Two actually did well for both shots.

To sum things up: the K Six-Two is a great value racquet that is good for intermediate to advanced players. Those who are looking to find a good all-around racquet won't be disappointed. The Six-Two's weight and string pattern are slightly more partial to flat shots, but implementing spin-oriented I bought the Wilson K Six.Two tennis racquet for my daughter who has decided to play on her high school tennis team. Her coach and another high school tennis coach I know recommended the Wilson N Sixt Two,but Wilson no longer makes that racquet. They've replaced it with the K Six.Two, which delivers both power and a great sense of touch, making it extremely effective at both the net and the baseline. My daughter reported an improvement in her game from the first time she used the racquet.

I had looked all over the Internet hoping to avoid the $180 price tag. Late, late one evening I decided to check Amazon. They were offering the Wilson K Six.Two in a price range of $44 (price mistake?)to $159. At $159, it was a good buy, but at $44 with free shipping it was the deal of a lifetime. I paid $44 for a brand new Wilson K Six.Two racquet. My daughter loves her new racquet and her daddy loves the great deal! Thank you, Amazon!!
I've had my Wilson [K] Six.Two for around a year now, and I absolutely love it. I play tennis for fun, but with other guys who play very well (not just messing around on the court). I was in the hunt for a nice racket that would give me better speed, yet good control, and I must say, this racket gives me both! I get a lot of pop off serves and get really good power off shots, yet I still feel I am able to control the shots too. The racket is just the right weight, actually a bit lighter than my old Head racket, which I like a lot. And the 100-inch head gives you a little grace with not hitting the ball in the sweet spot every time. Overall, I am highly pleased with this Wilson product. Highly recommended.
This racket description and reviews made me to but this racket and unfortunately ended as a disappointing experience.

The first problem is

Racket makes lot of irritating sound and does not provide control/power

Racket does vibrate while return and not smooth

I do not recommend this product neither for upgrade nor for someone to start with

beginners can always buy 20 USD walmart racket and intermediate/advanced players can look for some proven rackets such as head microgel, prince 03 etc around 100 USD instead of wasting 65 USD on this one

I bough this racket from paddlepro seller I've just started playing again in a club and my old Prince is 15 years old and hasn't been restrung since 1999. So I decided technology would have advanced so far that it wasn't worth getting it restrung, so bought the Wilson. It is a bit lighter and tighter so helps with my backhand (which is not a consistent shot), but I kept thinking I was (especially) mishitting my forehand - figured I was rusty. However I just tried my brother's Prince O3 (which is strung a bit tighter) and could return everything and it felt amazing. There is something wrong with the Wilson - it feels hard with a tiny sweetspot.it might be improved with a restring, but I don't want to invest another $25 in a losing proposition. I even tried my older racquet and could even hit better with that. Avoid. This is my fisrt time practicing with a racquet so I searched the best option according my conditions and amateur skills. Now I know, playing tennis, the k six two was my best choice This tennis racquet is stylish, light weight, and very comfort to hold in hand. It comes with a Wilson bag for carrying. It is really light, even a woman can swing it easily. Awesome!

should i buy Head Liquidmetal Radical Tennis Racquet (Pre-Strung) reviews

Head's® Liquidmetal® Radical tennis racquet is Andre Agassi's Liquidmetal® weapon of choice. Liquidmetal® technology provides pure energy and perfect power. The Total Sweetspot Construction and oversized head combined to deliver increased stability and a total sweetspot. Liquidmetal® material is applied to 4 strategic areas of the racquet's head and is the only material that utilizes all the energy your swing generates. I bought 2 of these a month ago looking to explore the direction a different racquet might take my game. currently I hit with the dunlop 2oog XL and love it, but have had some success with head racquets. anyway, the radical mid+ is very light and feels brittle w/out actually being too stiff. it is definitely designed for the modern game's emphasis on racquet head speed, with a light head balance meant for some serious acceleration. off the ground the racquet felt pretty good after I applied some lead tape, and definitely benefits from stringing on the low side of the tension range. higher tensions gave the physical impression of the ball falling off the strings with little penetration. on slices, the radical produced lovely vector-like trajectories that were very satisfying to hit indeed. on serve, the radical provided for much pop, easily rivaling anything I can hit w/the dunlop. the tight string pattern requires more effort to impart serious spin, but serves could be placed accurately. the radical shines in the service dept. but... the real treat was volleying. ye gods this racquet volleys well. crisp, controlled shots I could put anywhere, from the service line up to net, half-volleys, low below-net scoopers, against pace or soft shots. very solid and very maneuverable. the highlight of my month long adventure.
so having said all these nice things about the radical, why did I go back to the 2ooXL? well, as I said before, the radical is about the emphasis on racquet head speed. this concept dominates the game now, as every one tries to emulate roger and rafa et al. which is fine, but that game requires so much effort and a racquet like this requires that game like a german sports sedan requires high test fuel. it's too much, and although I can operate in that arena, my game is much more about dynamic control and variation. I take the ball early and redirect alot, think vintage mecir, and I need a racquet that's soft and provides more feel than the radical, which felt brittle. the dunlops are also considerably heavier and feel much more stable, especially w/lead tape
on the throat. going back to the dunlop after a genuine and concerted effort to tailor the radical mid+ to my game made me realize how I was actually tailoring my game to the mid+.

still, a great frame for the right game. recommended, if not for me Having played for over twenty years I never considered purchasing an advanced racket like the Liquidmetal Radical simply because I don't play very often. However, when I saw the pricedrop on it I just couldn't resist and you shouldn't either. For the first time ever I feel in control on the court. I had a Head racket before (Ti Fire), but I am giving it away because there is just no comparison. Virtually no vibration (when I hit the ball right of course), the shot goes in exactly the direction I want it to go, brilliant. I am very happy with this purchase. Midwest Sports came though very nicely, delivering in no time. An assistant at a local sport store told me this racket is being discontinued, so I bought another one just in case. This line, next to Babolat Pure Drive Team (Mainly the Plus) and HEAD Prestige (Liquidmetal and Intelligence), is an elite line. Radical has been the most used racquet around here since we've come together as 13-14 year olds. Radical Liquidmetal is an applauded product from Head and we recommend it with great enthousiasm as a racquet for all club (U12/14+ categories) and above players. It works well with all ages.
I had wanted this 'antique' racquet for a long time and finally decided to purchase through Amazon before its "extinction". All the stores in HKG no longer carry this item since long long ago. I ordered two pieces in order to justify for the not-cheap international shipping charges. Each racquet comes with a Head bag and dampener. The delivery was earlier than promised and I am satisfied with the packing. This racquet is worth buying as it is not too expensive unlike those newly launched in the market. It's for those who find other models either too light or too heavy. This one is just right. my son recently began playing tennis this last summer and has upgraded to this new racquet ! my son has more confidence with this new racquet , he has moved up to number 3 position on team up from number 7. highly recommend new head liquid metal racquet! I have been playing tennis for 24 years (I'm 38), I play twice a week and I must say this stick isn't for me, you need to create your own power (a lot of it) to use it, it feels stiff, I'm sure it is a great players racquet but it is not for the club player.

I bought the new Head Microgel Extreme 09, this stick is consider a players racquet by Head but it feels much more powerful and soft, of course you don't feel the same control that has the Radical but it is much better for my game.

Conclusion: If you are 21 and you are a serious tennis player (4,5 level or more) go for it, if not try another stick.

I'm no professional, but this is a pretty good upgrade for my novice play.

best buy Sportcraft Four reviews

Since this is a cheap item I didn't expect much. Its good for the price but you will need to re-tape the handles with electrical tape as the tape that's originally on them comes off.
Thats the only flaw I found, cheaply wrapped handles.
No big deal since its easy to re-wrap them.

The set has held up for 3 months now with 2 young children beating it senseless, that's why I went cheap. :)

The rackets are surviving fine, minus the need to re-tape them when the original tape starts to unravel.

So anything that lives 3 months with my 2 roughnecks is good by me!

If you looking for cheap but still durable as I was looking for, this set will be ok. Just remember to get some tape.

This is a cheap set. Not a pro set. Its not balanced or perfectly straight.
Its just a fun way to get some exercise for the family without going bankrupt. ;) The heads of the racket are already loose from the handles.Thet were very disappointed . I am also. Should have. Checked to make sure they were one piece unitsIt's not professional grade but it wasn't meant to be, just look at the price. I'm hoping it can take a beating from my kids during the summer, if I can get a good amount of hard play I will be happy. If it lasts longer than that, then it's gravy! I read the mixed reviews and decided to go ahead and order these rackets since the price was really good. I am glad I did. My kids, 9 and 11, play with them every day. I have played, too. They have held up and work just fine. We play for fun so we aren't banging them on the ground or being rough on them. I think they will last us a long time and are a great value. The price is great for 4 rackets, 2 birdies and a bag. Rackets were doing just fine after some intense playing. One of the birdies gave up quite early on but that's the nature of the beast I guess. Would buy again. I found that this was a very nice set....if you are gentle. first hour of playing and the red bulb on one of the birdies came off. they break easy but thank goodness there are four. the rackets are nice and havent had a problem with them yet. all in all its a pretty good buy for what you get. for the same price you would only get 2 rackets elsewhere on amazon please ..please dont waste ur money here . this thing is just not worth buying at any price. it couldnt last one game. the string tore up, the shuttle lost its part. sorry to say that its just taking space in my garage. just add probably $5 -$10 more and u can get much good stuff! Be warned: you get what you pay for. And that's what I expected, so no complaints. Real cheap fun for four people. And yes, it won't last long, certainly not without repair.

But do be aware: there are only two shuttlecocks, not the four advertised. You decide it that's a big deal, and make your choice accordingly.
