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.
Previously I was playing with a many year old Wilson Hammer 6.2. This racquet is slightly smaller, a lot lighter, is *way* more controllable for the same power level. Meaning that if I adjust the string tension so that both racquets have about the same power, I am much more consistent with this one.
I am getting excellent topspin off of both sides. Backspin not as easy to hit as with the old Wilson and it’s larger head. But I can live with that because everything else is so much better.
