Boasting the lightest weight in the series, the HEAD Metallix 170 is going to turn some heads. Utilizing new technological breakthroughs HEAD leaves the competition scratching their heads, and your opponents wondering what hit them. Maneuverable and reliable, this racquet has been designed for the player with a fast and powerful swing.
Metallix: Unchain the Power with Metallix, a specially developed matrix of carbon fibers and a new crystalline metal alloy with a grain-size 1,000 times smaller than conventional metal setting a new standard for power in the sport of racquetball.

Flexpoint PWR: Breaking the rules of conventional racquet design and delivering unprecedented power in control on every shot. Here is how it works. Two precisely engineered holes, strategically positioned in the center of the racquets sweetspots, are coupled with innovative dimples that work together to create a powerful flexpoint that is activated every time you hit the ball. As the ball impacts the stringbed, HEAD's patented Flexpoint PWR goes to work creating a "cupping" effect that delivers power and performance benefits never seen before in the sport of racquetball. The unique "cupping" effect of Flexpoint PWR allows you to hit every shot right where you are aiming. Imagine even your off-center hits re-directing back to your target with deadly accuracy. Your opponents will wonder if you have been secretly practicing for hundreds of hours as you repeatedly execute shot after shot!

Inner Grommet System: Individual tubes, lined with HEAD ENERGY, pass through the frame eliminating exterior grommet holes. This combination results in unprecedented power, durability and comfort. IGS's solid frame construction provides optimal stiffness for maximum power and feel while HEAD ENERGY material provides explosive string bed response on every shot increasing your power by up to 21%. Frame integrity is maximized by eliminating exterior grommet holes providing increased durability. HEAD ENERGY material offers the additional benefit of built in vibration dampening, absorbing unwanted vibration for maximum comfort.

Power Channels: This power technology is created by molded tubes passing inside the throat, eliminating exterior sting holes. This lengthens each main string and creates maximum stiffness which results in an incredible increase in raw power.
