    Tecnifibre TF X1 300

    Looks like introduction of a Pure Aero 98/SX 300 Tour competitor with the 305g and 98 sq inch model. Would have preferred a heavier tour version of the 300. Seems like every manufacturer is following the trend of axing heavier tour models and replacing them with 98s (extreme pro, pure drive...

    Bonjour from Babolat: Part Trois

    How about a Roland Garros or Wimbledon limited edition paint job? I know this has been done in the past for several models. Thanks Josh.

    Sponsorship Changes for 2024

    Curious about Watanuki’s racquet. Looks like an H25 at first glance (Azarenka/old Coric mold). Would make sense coming from a Pure Drive

    Bonjour from Babolat: Part Trois

    Will there be a RG or Olympics Colorway of the Pure Aero?

    Tecnifibre T-Fight ISO

    Tecnfibre needs to release a limited edition “night” or “dark” mode paint job of the Tfight line. Just reverse the white and black on the existing frame. Maybe in time for the clay season and Roland Garros to celebrate the French lineage of the brand. Would also make sense for consumers to use a...

    Swiatek swinging T Fight ISO 300

    If that’s the case, Tecnifibre only has itself to blame. The Tempo/Rebound has been marketed as a “woman’s” racquet. Even going as far as having Iga complimenting the “girly” colors in some of the promotional videos. Always seemed silly to me anyway considering the racquet has the feel of a pro...

    Swiatek swinging T Fight ISO 300

    Recently saw pictures and videos from the World Tennis League and you can clearly see Iga is using the T Fight ISO 300 and not her signature Tempo 298 (white bumper and 300 on the inside of the hoop). Still unclear if this is an actual switch or if Tecnifbre has decided to phase out the Tempo...

    Paula Badosa racket

    It is crazy that Wilson has not made this racquet available on Pro Labs. Almost every single WTA pro swinging a Blade is using the Steam 100. Isn’t the intention of Pro Labs to be able to use what the pros are using? There is also nothing really similar even from a spec/mold perspective in...

    Pennetta's racquet specs?

    Great info! But Flavia used a H22 16x19. At least the last few years of her career….

    Tecnifibre Official - Racquets

    I would definitely give the 300 RS a try. I found it to be the perfect middle ground of a lot of racquet characteristics. Behaves like a tweeter in terms of performance - big spin from super open pattern, easy power, whippy and maneuverable while also being surprisingly stable for its weight...

    In Search of a Crisp, Polarized Racquet

    Thanks for the thoughtful responses. Yes, I have experience customizing, but in the past I have always stuck with 4 grams of weight at 3 and 9 to usually bump swingweight up around 330. Maybe that’s been my problem, as it sounds like polarizing requires weight at 12? To be honest, I’d prefer to...

    In Search of a Crisp, Polarized Racquet

    First of all, I have one of these racquets, which is pretty beat up and was given to me by a friend who no longer was using it. Second of all, that wasn’t my question. I didn’t ask if I should make the switch to a 7 year old heavily used discontinued racquet. Thanks for your response though.

    In Search of a Crisp, Polarized Racquet

    I took out an old 2015 Graphene Prestige MidPlus and the weight, balance and swing weight of the racquet felt great. Also loved the crisp modern feel paired with the accuracy of the racquet. I watched the old TW Review of this racquet and heard them mention that the weight was polarized...

    Tecnifibre Official - Racquets

    I think you’ll like the RS 300. I switched from the ezone 98 because i was looking for a bit more free power, easier playability, and access to spin and that’s exactly what i got. Added a few grams at 3 and 9 and it’s perfect

    Sponsorship changes 2022?

    Kostyuk also switching to the Steam 100 mold (from an Ezone 98). The white grommets in the throat are the dead give away. She was blasting backhands against Badosa, another steam 100 user. Pretty soon every baseline basher in the wta is going to convert after seeing the positive results of...

    Thanks looks pretty standard to me…not sure why some initial impressions have been that it’s a string eater. PA is much more open

    Holger Rune blacked out racket?

    Seems he’s now settled on Pure Aero VS. Babolat trying everything to keep him. Went from Gravity to custom Strike 100 with 18x20 pattern and now settled with the Aero VS. Looks like this could be the racquet of the coming decade with Rune and Alcaraz endorsing.

    ASICS Speed FF2

    Anyone have any issues sliding on hard courts with these? Like to slide into wide shots on the run and drop shots but worried that the extremely sticky grip some have talked about might take some getting used to.

    Adidas Ubersonic 4 Thread

    Leaning towards the new SS FF 2’s over these based on some of the feedback in this thread...hate the thin adidas laces and thin tongue. The ASICS tongue looks super padded.
