Is the Head MicroGel Challenge Lite Ltd. a good racquet?

I haven't played tennis in a few years and really liked the graphics of this racquet and possibly want to buy one. I'm a 4.0-4.5 player these days with a big serve. Saw one for $100

Is this a **** racquet or is it decent?

The specs are probably not ideal for your level....

If you want a Pure Drive style racquet that is light and needs customizing, the Head Microgel Challenge series is one...basically a rehash of their original Microgel Extreme model.

We've talked about it here:

I'd basically just like to find out if the challenge lite ltd is a decent racquet or if it's problematic.

Decent racquet? Short answer and in my opinion, yes but not for $100. There's a catagory here called the "cheap player's club" and this racquet falls right into that... But these Head Challenge series racquets are a bit on the head heavy side in terms of balance and if you're shopping e-bay for them, I've seen the blue version going for $55 + 9 shipping and includes a large racquet bag. I picked up the Microgel Challenge Spirit from Costco for $49.99 and that's almost exactly the same as the Microgel Challenge Lite. I plan on adding some weight to it though by taking the grip apart and injecting silone in the handle, that way to make it head light instead of head heavy, improving it's manueverability.
