HEAD Liquidmetal® Tennis Racquet Spotlighted Among
Best Products of 2003 By Fortune and BusinessWeek Magazines
TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 9, 2003 ----- The HEAD Liquidmetal® tennis racquet, featuring Liquidmetal® alloy technology, has been named one of the best new products of 2003 in the current issues of Fortune and BusinessWeek magazines.
In selecting "The 25 Best Products of the Year" with input from a host of design experts, Fortune magazine searched for "great consumer-product design" among mass-produced products introduced to the U.S. market in 2003. The HEAD Liquidmetal® Radical was singled out for its use of Liquidmetal® alloys in four strategic areas of the racquet head, which "distributes energy more efficiently than conventional models. The result: more powerful shots."
BusinessWeek focused on "innovation, big and small" to pick 31 winners for its special report, "The Best Products of 2003." Among the winning attributes of HEAD's line of tennis racquets featuring Liquidmetal® alloys: "players say it has changed their games."
The HEAD Liquidmetal® series has been a top pick of tennis enthusiasts and product reviewers since its introduction in July as Andre Agassi's "new weapon of choice."

About Liquidmetal Technologies
Liquidmetal Technologies (www.liquidmetal.com) is the leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of products made from amorphous alloys. Amorphous alloys are unique materials that are characterized by a random atomic structure, in contrast to the crystalline atomic structure -possessed by ordinary metals and alloys. Bulk Liquidmetal® alloys are two to three times stronger than commonly used titanium alloys, harder than tool steel, and relatively non-corrosive and wear resistant. Bulk Liquidmetal alloys can also be molded into precision net-shaped parts similar to plastics, resulting in intricate and sophisticated engineered designs. Liquidmetal Technologies is the first company to produce amorphous alloys in commercially viable bulk form, enabling significant improvements in products across a wide array of industries. The combination of a super alloy's performance coupled with unique processing advantages positions Liquidmetal alloys for what the company believes will be The Third RevolutionTM in material science.
