Here’s another racket in the Head Metallix range, the Head Metallix 130.
I’ve seen a few players on my home courts use this. I think it’s a bit of an older model but a quality racket, so probably a good deal for someone looking for a decent racket but not wanting to splurge for the latest models.
It’s got a frame weight of 130 grams, which is pretty light. The balance point is 370mm so this should be head-heavy.
Update: I just found this old picture of Ramy Ashour. I guess he used to play with this racket:

Hi I’m currently between this racket (metallix 130) and the microgel 125. I have used many Head rackets but I believe the new technologies such as corrugated and graphene have made them less stiff, which I don’t like. I returned from my new 135 Cyano graphene to my old 145 Microgel. The feel and power of the 145 Microgel is what I’m looking for but a little more light frame. I do need the racket to help me produce power, both this rackets are head heavy so I’m fine I guess. I’m a little inclined to the Metallix as I’ve seen many good reviews. On the other I suspect the 125 Microgel pretty much the same as the as my 145 but lighter with a heavier head (which I find ok).
