Product Description
The Head Intelligence i.S12 features one of the lightest swingweights and static weights available, which allows for great maneuverability and racquet head speed. Head heavy balance and wide open string pattern ensures that ample power and stability are readily available also.

HEAD INTELLIFIBER
Feature:
Heads Intellifiber (integrated on both sides of the throat area) created from piezoelectric materials, has breakthrough new properties which make them extraordinarily unique and different from traditional materials

Energy Transformation: Using the mechanical energy of ball impact and converting - in less than a millisecond - into electrical energy.

Controllable Shape Change: An electrical impulse actively changes the shape of the Intellifibers for more stiffness.

The Power Benefit: In less than the first millisecond of ball impact, Head Intellifibers stiffen and reduce bending in the throat area for unmatched power in current racquet design.

The Dampening Benefit: Unlike mechanical energy, electrical energy does not create vibrations. Therefore, 20% of the vibrations are immediately eliminated upon ball impact for optimum comfort.

4 out of 5 stars Super Lite Racquet   November 16, 2008
Michelle Costello (Hermosa Beach)
Super Light racquet. But has a very small sweet spot. If you don't hit the ball right it makes an awful sound.


3 out of 5 stars Very light, but very tight !!   May 5, 2008

I've played with this racquet for about 6 mos. now.
Bought this for two reasons - 1. I wanted a light racquet as I had tendonitis in my wrist and 2. it was on sale for a very good price.

However, as I played I realized that this racquet is strung for a very short swing (it is strung with very high pressure, very tight); it is difficult to keep the ball in the court if you like to swing
Another difficulty I am facing is that the grip is very big, especially for a smaller person (smaller hands) like me.

I would not recommend this racquet for players less than maybe 5' 10" tall.
For others who want to hit hard balls without a big swing, it is very good.
