Head LM 120 Squash racket

Advantages: Light but tough
Disadvantages: poor factory grip

...I bought this squash racket as a amateur after my last racket broke the strings and I thought it better to buy a good racket rather than replace the strings. The price was fantastic as a i bought it in Lilywhites with 70% off, but if buying full price i would say it is a bit pricey. However the performance of the racket if top draw. I've had it for a few years now and still it is serving me very well. The durability of this racket is one of the hidden qualities i have found. With me not being a brilliant squash player, I've had my fair share of wall hits, but the protective plastic on the frame is still protecting and it has not even chipped or scratched. The racket also looks very good and I've been asked many a time if i could lend my racket for people to have a go. it hits well and suits a hard hitting game but can equally handle...

Review of Head LM 120 Squash Racket

Head Metallix 4 = Pretty good!

Advantages: Great spin, good strokes all round, decent serves and volleys. Good all-round racket.
Disadvantages: 107sq inch headsize, possibly too big? Not too much control on volleys. but that is all!

...Iv'e had this racket for approx 6 months. Was moving from a Babolat Aeropro drive (original), only because I just don't think the Babolat is particularly suited to my game (And the strings broke!). I'm a steady player, not brilliant but still play well. I bought it from the Tennis Warehouse website in the US. I had it custom strung with Head Sonic Pro 17 gauge string at 60lbs. I didn't know much about the strings or the tension but enough to kinda know what I was doing after reading many reviews! At first I found the racket hard to get used to, shots spraying all over the shop and just pretty poor play! However, I think this was down to my ability at the time and the change between rackets. I decided to keep playing with it anyway, (I didnt have much choice as the Babolat was being re-strung anyway). After few days of hitting my strokes...

Review of Head Metallix 4 Tennis Racket

Very smooth and weighty racket, you need arms like Nadal!

Advantages: spin, power, good strings and style
Disadvantages: heavy racket

...Okay, I don't officially own this racket but I ordered a few tennis rackets on trial and the Babolat AeroPro Plus is one of them. As used by Rafael Nadal. I found it personally a bit on the heavy side ( about 11.1oz strung). Nevertheless this racket does feel good especially when used for various spin shots and baseline shots. I found it especially good for slice serving, it really gives a nice kick and due to the longer length of the racket it enabled me to reach a bit further when I am stretching and greatly benefits on my serve. In my opinion this is a head heavy racket combined this with the cortex filter system (reduces vibration) and aero frame design it gives a better feel of the ball and enhances maneuverability meaning that more power can be generated. It has a nice size head at 100sq.in. which gives a nice sized sweet...

Review of Babolat AeroPro Drive + Tennis Racket

A perfect racket for Nadal worshippers and club players alike

Advantages: A lot of power and a large sweet spot
Disadvantages: Paintwork etc prome to being chipped away easily

...Provided you have reasonably powerful legs and arms, and basic core strength this racket will treat you very well. It will deliver for you countless inside-out forhand winners and vicious down the line drives with great satisfaction and little effort. However, you do need strength to use this racket - and proper technique is a necessity if you plan on using any babolat. Countless times my friends attempt to use my Aero Pro Drive without proper tennis coaching and find balls spinning hopelessly over the court fencing! This racket has massive power at its disposal but to release it without a lot of effort on your behalf you must have a consistent and effective technique in both bread and butter baseline swings. If you feel that this is the racket for you, i would recommend trying it (or any similar Babolat model) first to make sure you...

Review of Babolat AeroPro Drive + Tennis Racket

Giving head

Advantages: Total relaxation
Disadvantages: Not suitable for all people unfortunately.

...This review is about something I learnt at college very recently and now have just received a Diploma in. INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE ---------------------------------- ? What is it? Indian Head massage has been practised traditionally in India for thousands of years and is part of Ayurvedic medicine system. This medicine is one of India's oldest systems.

Review of Indian Head Massage

solid feel, very comfortable and looks good

Advantages: very consistent throughout
Disadvantages: consistent but lacks power and comfort compared to other rackets

...I am a very big fan of the Head radical series, I have been using Head tennis rackets for around 10 years and my first Head radical was the Intelligence series, although quite heavy it feels well balanced throughout. This racket is similar. I have the oversize version with a headsize of 107sq.in. and weighs around 295grams strung, which i believe it is a nice weight. It is my personal choice. The main positives of this racket is that when i use it my baseline shots become deeper meaning tougher shots for the opponent. It is a very forgiving racket, consistent and a comfortable feel throughout. The grip is very good but i would personally add an overgrip on it to give it a better feel. I believe this racket is suited for long swing players who like putting lots of topspin, like myself. Since it is well balanced throughout...

Review of Head MicroGel Radical Tennis Racket

4head-aches, use this!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Every so often I get awful headaches. They are torture, feeling as though my head is being at once gripped in a vice and being kicked from the inside at the same time . Whilst generally paracetomol and other painkillers do work, they take some time to act, and when they wear off I'm usually reluctant to take more . Fairly recently, I was up at my mums when a headache started to make itself known . Quick as a flash, my mum felt around in her handbag, before thrusting 4head into my hand- - a stylish silver container with a clear plastic lid, looking like a short , fat lip salve . At the bottom of the pack is a part that you twist to get more of the product to come out of the tube . The hot pink label announces that this is 3.6 g . It also informs us the Levomenthol is the active ingredient . Now, I'm aware of menthol in a lot of products...

Review of Diomed 4Head

Wilson Ksix-one tour tennes racket

Advantages: Good control racket
Disadvantages: Heavy racket

...Roger Federer's racket for the tour, the one he has been using from the Australian Open 2007 onwards. The racket comes from Wilson. When I play with this racket, I found that the racket swings through just a bit quicker than the nSix One Tour (the old style racket). It gave the impression of being a bit more aerodynamic through the air, both for groundstrokes and serves, thus adding power. The string bed seeemed to give more bite on the ball which gave more potential for spin & control. Conclusion: If you have the ability to cope with a heavy racket, then you will definately get more power and control from your game. Would suit all advanced players or extreme hard hitters. Wilson are always my racket of choice from the first time I pickd up the original pro staff tour (Sampras's racket of choice)...

Review of Wilson KSix-One Tour Tennis Racket

Choosing the perfect Racket

Advantages: Can really benefit your tennis
Disadvantages: Can set you back a few pounds

...Choosing a new tennis racket is a very big decision in deed. You could just choose a racket that looks good (pot-luck). I would not advise this as the racket could work for you but on the other hand it could just put a hole in your pocket. When choosing a racket you need to take a few things into account. You have to ask yourself what type of swing you have, if your swing is long and fast I would recommend a control racket as you are getting all the power from the swing and you just need a bit of control. I would choose rackets like Head liquid metal prestige, Wilson N61 tour or the Prince NX Tour Graphite MP. If your swing on the other hand is very short and slow, you should get a powerful racket as your swing is giving you your control you just need a bit of extra power. I would recommend, a Wilson Ncode1, Head liquid metal 8...

Indian Head Massage

Advantages: Very relaxing, beneficial to health

...~ What is Indian Head Massage? ~ Indian Head Massage originated, as it's name suggests, in India over a thousand years ago. The origin of shampoo comes from a Hindi word 'champi'.
