Editorial Review
The Head Liquidmetal 8 is the most powerful offering in the Head Liquidmetal line, with a very forgiving sweetspot and significantly lighter weight. More forgiving than any of the other Liquidmetal racquets, the Liquidmetal 8 is geared toward a beginning to intermediate level player with a slow to moderate swing who requires a larger sweetspot. Open string pattern further enhances spin and size of the sweetspot. NoShox handle reduces vibrations by 27% without dampening feel.

Racquet Review 
2008-09-24
The tennis racquet came on time and it a very good product. It was purchased for my elderly mother who likes it, but doesn't feel it's improved her game.
Absolutely horrible racquet 
2008-09-24
I am an advanced beginner when it comes to tennis and was looking for a better racquet to improve my game. I have had 2 HEAD racuqets before and after reading some glowing reviews on Amazon, I decided to order one for myself. Unfortunately, I have to disagree with the 4 and 5 stars given to this product.
From the moment I got this racquet, I was having this uneasy experience of hearing weird sounds coming out about 90% of the time. I know that I don't hit the ball in the center sweet spot all the time but I would hear this pop sound almost every time. I had it shown to a semi-professional who agreed that there was something wrong. So, I contacted the seller about getting it replaced, which they gladly did.
Upon getting the second racquet, I started hearing the same kinds of noises which really disappointed me. So, I thought there was probably something wrong with the way I was hitting the ball and decided to put in an additional dampener (remember, this racquet comes with an in-built dampener) and also put in a new grip after reading some reviews that it might help. Neither worked and after a week or so, I heard a big pop and the next thing I see is that the racquet is broken....I could not believe my eyes and called up the seller again. This time, I requested to have the racquet replaced by another brand or be given a refund. I am hoping one of them works out. I am not convinced that I got a defective racquet twice - this has something to do with the quality of the product itself...
My sincere suggestion to anyone considering buying this one - if you are an advanced beginner or an intermediate player, please STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE. You are better off spending your money on a Prince O3 or other ones from the Head series...LIQUIDMETAL 8, from my experience, is for absolute beginners.
Hope this helps. Enjoy the tennis....
Great 2008-09-22
Was using a very old raquet and then I used a friend's head raquet. I loved that one so much that I ordered this one. SUPER great. first time I used it I already could tell that it was easier to hit. Love it!

This was the best price for the specific tennis racquet I wanted.
I received the racquet quickly and it is exactly what I ordered.

Excellent Product 2008-08-04
I played with this racquets for a couple of sets and my friends started thinking that I am a seasoned campaigner. They kept wondering how I improved my game overnight. You will notice immediate improvements on your services. Also I have felt more control and spin. It's easy to maneuver and great while playing at nets.
Not bad at all 
2008-06-15
Not as good as i thought either. I think its better to go to some store and check out the racquet before buying online.
