Head heavy.

Answer 1

ur swing will be faster. and more power will be produced than what u put into acutually hitting it. the bigger the size head the heavier. liquid metal is normally 8 pro is for ppl who need more power. it also depends on ur strings.  also another thing is that u should stick ur finger out and put ur finger through the tennis raquets neck( the  triangle) and let the raquet hang on ur finger and if the head tips down that means u have a power raquet and if the grip tips then u have control. most likely u have a power raquet.  it really depends what type of player u are. bigger head more power. smaller more control. and just try it out.

good luck

Answer 3

This is a racquet for people who can't create their enough power on their own.  Lightweight, oversize racquets have a lot of "built in" power.  So basically, you don't have to swing as hard to get the ball to go faster.   Sounds like a good thing? Not unless you need it.  The more power the racquet has, the less control you will have with it.  I usually tell people to get as heavy a racquet as they can handle.  Typically, as you advance your skills, you will pregress to heavier and heavier racquets.

So what's it good for other than power?  Well, that's about it.  The large head will make spin easy to come by, but what's it matter if you can't control it?  And since it's head-heavy, it won't feel too good at the net.  It'll probably make you feel slow to react to volleys, as compared to a heavier, head-light model.
