But I did prefer the stable and more predictable response of my Radical Tours. Also, I felt the spin potential was better on these racquets than with my HEAD Liquidmetal Radical Tour.
#LIQUID METAL STOCK PRO#
They had a flex reminiscent of the legendary PT57A (based on the HEAD Pro Tour 630 racquet) where you could really feel the ball sink into the string bed. The HEAD Liquidmetal Prestige Pro Stock Racquets played really nicely with a static weight between 339-345 grams and a balance around 32 cm. I've played with plenty of ATP level racquet specs ( Haas, Cilic, Enqvist, Wawrinka) to know that I simply am too late on the ball too often. I simply don't have the footwork or technique of an ATP Tour player and need to play within my comfort zone.
#LIQUID METAL STOCK PROFESSIONAL#
Professional players usually play with high swingweightsįor a professional player, a heavy swingweight of 350-60 is not uncommon or particularly difficult to play with, but I prefer it around 330. Then I strung with a hybrid of Babolat RPM Blast and Babolat VS gut strings and play around with adding back lead tape but on the hoop instead to be able to adjust without having to cut out the strings. So what I did for my play-test was to remove the lead tape underneath the grommets as you can see in the picture above and also the tape on the handle. With over grip and strings this racquet would be around 340 grams with a relatively head-heavy balance and a high swing weight. My pair of HEAD LIquidmetal Prestige Pro Stock Racquets came in at 318 grams unstrung with 32,6 cm balance and 61 RA unstrung with HEAD Calfskin leather grips, silicone injected into the handle and plenty of lead tape on the handle and at 12 o'clock in the hoop. Depending on the quality control of the racquet manufacturer you can get two completely different racquets! HEAD Liquidmetal Prestige Pro Stock Racquets Specs Both racquets are supposed to play exactly the same, which is rare when you buy two racquets from an online shop for example.
What is nice about pro stock tennis racquets is that they're matched for the player so there are no inconsistencies in swing weight, static weight or balance. What is a pro stock tennis racquet? You can read this post for more information about pro stock tennis racquets. The HEAD Liquidmetal Prestige pro stock racquets are the pro stock version of the HEAD Liquidmetal Prestige MP racquet which came out in 2003. I acquired some HEAD Liquidmetal Pro Stock racquets that belonged to an ATP pro player and play-tested them over a period.
