The Liquidmetal 8 racquet also employs several other Head technologies. The racquet's Total Sweetspot Construction (TSC), for example, offers an innovative corrugated structure that increases the torsional stability in the racquet head. This corrugation extends the sweet spot through the entire head, resulting in superior control. Now you'll feel like you've hit the sweet spot with every shot. The racquet also includes Head's NoShox dampening system, which consists of a unique memory foam integrated into the racquet handle. The NoShox system significantly reduces racquet vibrations by more than 27 percent compared to conventional racquets, so even the most powerful game will be easy on the arm. Finally, the Liquidmetal 8 includes an integrated string dampener that's fixed onto the grommets. The string dampener reduces string vibration even more, encouraging a more comfortable swing while creating the perfect sound and feel when you hit the ball.

The most powerful offering in the Liquidmetal line, the Liquidmetal 8 is geared toward the beginning to intermediate-level player with a slow to moderate swing. The racquet is particularly appropriate for players who need an extra-forgiving sweet spot and a lighter weight.

About Head
Head's roots trace back to 1950, when Howard Head--the inventor of the first metal ski--founded the company. Head added the Tyrolia bindings and Mares diving brands in the 1970s, and more recently acquired the Penn ball and Dacor diving brands in the 1990s. Although the parent company is organized into four divisions--winter sports, racquet sports, diving, and licensing--Head itself is primarily focused on racquet games, including tennis, squash, paddle, racquetball, and badminton. Head has locations throughout the world, but maintains its U.S. operations in Norwalk, Connecticut, and Phoenix, Arizona.
