Head Metallix 160


Vital Stats

Price: Around $250 AUD
Weight: 160g
Head Size: 470 sq. cm
Balance: Even
Gender: Probably Male

The heavist in Head's new range of Metallix racquets, the 160 packs some serious muscle for the Arnold Schwarzenegger in every squash player. An astoundingly docile paint job, rusty orange, however, raises doubts as to the racquets true character.

Underneath however, the Metallix 160 is a pretty solid piece of carbon engineering. We found it delivered clean connection, and was reasonably forgiving. That being said, its weight is a draw back unless you dig it. Some do, some don't.

In summation, its a solid racquet, with bad strings. Get them redone ASAP, and then cut back on life to cover the total of around $300 including on road costs.

Power: 8.5       Contol: 8.5       Value: 7.5
