The Metallix 6 is a very manuverable oversize racquet that holds up to hard hit shots without twisting inspite of it's light weight. I add a little lead tape to customize it just a bit. It goes through the air easily and feels good on the arm. I've tried other racquets but keep coming back to this one. USTA 4.0

The Metallix6 does indeed live up to the hype. I am a casual tennis player who just wanted a little more control and a little more power. This does exactly that while looking extremely fresh and futuristic on the court. I cant say this is the right one for pro's but for average joe's its right on.

I have used the Head Metallix 6 racquet for several years and have been very pleased. As a 4.0 player, the racquet provides solid volleys and good control. For an all court player with average swing speed, this Head Metallix 6 is a good choice. The Do It Tennis staff was very helpful in helping me select the proper string and tension when I reordered a racquet recently.

For anyone out there that likes an oversize with great spin and more control, this is the racket I swear by. Dont let the year fool you, (2006) this is a winner for doubles play and crafty singles play.

Excellent frame for controllable power and comfort. It's quick at net and holds up well against power shots inspite of it's light weight. There's no twisting on offcenter shots and racquet head speed is easy to generate on serves.
