Head Microgel Monster
Overall, the Head Monster Racket is a very good racket for beginners wanting to make that transition from a junior racket to an adult racket. The Microgel series are new rackets that incorporate the microgel fiber within the racket. That compacts and distributes the feel of the ball throughout the racket, making it a smoother and more comfortable feel. It is a light racket with a large head size, which means the sweet spot in the racket is very large. The racket can generate a lot of power because of its lightness (maneuverability) and head size.
Groundstrokes
Groundstrokes with the Head Monster were quite powerful. For a beginner or junior making that transition, this racket is perfect. This racket works very well for a person with a short swing that cannot generate their own power. This racket helps make the ball-strike more powerful and effective rather than using a heavier racket requiring a more elongated swing motion. Since this racket is relatively light, it is easy for the player to get the racket out in front with a shorter backswing and to generate power from the racket. At higher levels of play, this racket might not be the best racket to use because of the longer swing that an advanced player would use. However, for the person who is looking to improve their groundstrokes at the beginning or intermediate level, this racket is for you.
Volleys
The volleys for the Head Monster are very solid because of the lightness of the racket. A player can keep the racket in front of them and make solid contact with the ball while generating power from the racket. With the large head size and large sweet spot, a person can really get that crisp feeling of satisfaction when hitting a solid volley with the Head Monster. With the lightweight of the Head Monster, it will also be easier to get that racket back to the ready position so you will be prepared to hit your next volley.
Serve Returns
Serve returns are very solid and powerful when using the Head Monster. When returning a serve with the Head Monster, you can turn a powerful serve into a powerful return. With the lightweight racket and Microgel technology, you can take a short swing and control the return off of even a good serve. You can also make very good contact with the ball with the large sweet spot and head size of the Head Monster.
Serves
The Head Monster generates a lot of power with the light racket and fast racket speed that is possible. Flat serves are relatively easy to hit with the Head Monster. Since the racket head is so large, it is easy to hit a solid serve with the amount of power you wish to generate. And since this racket is so light, good racket speed yields good spin for control. Topspin serves as well as slice serves were easy to produce because of the easy maneuverability of the racket.
Overall, this is a very good racket for beginners or juniors making a transition to an adult racket. It is also good for an intermediate tennis player who has a shorter swing and who needs a racket to generate a little more power. The large head size and large sweet spot make it easier for a player to hit the ball where they want it with the amount of speed and control they need.
