Head MicroGel Radical OS vs. Head Liquidmetal Radical OS

[Robert_in_LA]

I am considering a new racquet and trying to decide between the MicroGel Radical OS and the Liquidmetal Radical OS. I currently still hit with the Head Ti Radical OS. Which of these racquets compares most similarly to the Ti Radical OS, or is there not much of a difference?

I'm strongly considering the Liquidmetal because it's currently on sale at TW. How much did this racquet cost originally? I'm assuming at one time it was Head's "latest and greatest" Radical, just as the MicroGel is now.

I think I'd much prefer the Liquidmetal, especially if it's similar to the Ti and MicroGel, and I could get it for much cheaper. On paper, the deal on the Liquidmetal seems like a good one, especially if I can pick up a racquet that used to cost around $120 for $80 now. Is there anyone out there who doesn't think this sounds like a deal?

Stick to the Ti Radical. Great racquet. IMO none of these two hit like the Ti Radical OS. But if you wish to change to a new frame the MG Radical OS looks very promising.

Microgel!

My friend has used the Ti Radical OS for a long time and it's a good racquet. However recently I tried the Microgel Rad OS and I was so amazed, I'm gonna buy one even though I'm a mid sized user. The mg seems more solid with more control, more comfort and less power. I loved hitting with it.

Yeah, the Ti. Radical is actually a surprisingly good racket. When I used it i actually liked it, even though I don't usually like OSes. I heard the Microgel feels nice though, while the LM just feels so hard.

go for the cheaper one

I do like my Ti Radical, but I just feel it's time for a change. Like I said, I'm much more inclined to go with the cheaper Liquidmetal Radical, but haven't heard good things. The MicroGel does seem nice, but it's also the newest, most expensive model. I suppose I could just demo each and compore that way...

No one else has thoughts on these racquets?...

 

[LanEvo]

go for the cheaper one because theres not that much difference between the two

the microgel plays better, but if money's a problem for you go liquidmetal.
