Head Metallix 4 Tennis Racquet The Head Metallix 4 is a new slightly more control-oriented option in Head’s line. Like the Metallix 10 and Metallix 6, the Metallix 4 retains the use of Flexpoint technology and offers several new technologies for 2006.

Head Metallixis incorporated into the shaft section, making the Metallix 4 lighter and stiffer for more power.Metallixis made of a matrix of carbon fibers and a new crystalline metal alloy that is 1000 times smaller than typical metals.Head Stabilizereliminates racquet vibration and ensures the ultimate in comfort on every shot.Head LMS (Longer Main String) design lowers the bridge section to create a larger hitting surface without making the racquet any larger. The Metallix 4 is a more control-oriented option to the Metallix 6 and Metallix 10, yet still offers ample power and stability. Surprisingly controlled thanks to the “flexpoints” cut into the frame at 3:00 and 9:00.

Customer Review: Love this raquet
I actually already knew that I would because I bought a 2nd as a backup for when the string breaks.

Prince Triple Threat Scream Oversize Tennis Racquet The Prince Triple Threat Scream Oversize is an outstanding choice for the beginning to intermediate player or a junior making the move to their first adult racquet. The Triple Threat Scream has a generous sweetspot, lighter static weight, and a stiff 28mm tapered beam to provide ample power for players with a slow to moderate swing speeds.

TRIPLE THREAT TECHNOLOGY
The most important characteristics of a racquet are Power, Comfort, Control, and Maneuverability. These characteristics are directly effected by the stability of a racquet. When stability is enhanced in a racquet, these characteristics are improved. A more stable racquet that has a larger sweetspot is more accurate and has less torque. Triple Threat is the ideal technology to improve stability without sacrificing maneuverability. Triple Threat benefits ALL players, regardless of skill level.
TUNGSTEN TRIPLE BRAID
Ultimate Stability, Power & Control Improving Triple Threat technology requires enhancing stability and this is done by concentrating the weight more effectively at 10, 2, and the butt cap. The perfect material to do the job is Tungsten. Tungsten allows Prince to precisely locate weight and design the most efficient racquet available on the market today. Triple Threat alone improves stability 11% over standard racquets.

Customer Review: Excellent tennis racquet
This Prince SCREAM tennis racquet is excellent and has improved my game. It is a definite improvement over my plus-7-year-old tennis racquet and meets my requirements (aggressive week-end player) with its excellent balance, tacky grip and a superb blend of power and control. It is solid, both because the “oversize” provides a more forgiving sweet spot and because there is no vibration nor twisting with off-center hits.
[Additional note: Prince SCREAM tennis racquet is also on many "Editor's Choice" or "Highly Recommended" list, including Tennis Magazine.]

Head Intelligence i.S12 Tennis Racquet The Head Intelligence i.S12 features one of the lightest swingweights and static weights available, which allows for great maneuverability and racquet head speed. Head heavy balance and wide open string pattern ensures that ample power and stability are readily available also.

HEAD INTELLIFIBER
Feature: Heads Intellifiber (integrated on both sides of the throat area) created from piezoelectric materials, has breakthrough new properties which make them extraordinarily unique and different from traditional materials

Energy Transformation: Using the mechanical energy of ball impact and converting - in less than a millisecond - into electrical energy.

Controllable Shape Change: An electrical impulse actively changes the shape of the Intellifibers for more stiffness.

The Power Benefit: In less than the first millisecond of ball impact, Head Intellifibers stiffen and reduce bending in the throat area for unmatched power in current racquet design.

The Dampening Benefit: Unlike mechanical energy, electrical energy does not create vibrations. Therefore, 20% of the vibrations are immediately eliminated upon ball impact for optimum comfort.

Racquet Specifications

Customer Review: Very light, but very tight !!
I’ve played with this racquet for about 6 mos. now.
Bought this for two reasons - 1. I wanted a light racquet as I had tendonitis in my wrist and 2. it was on sale for a very good price.
