Hi @Tecnifibre Official,Hi Nostradamus,
If I refer to your name, you should be able to see the future
Unfortunately, at the moment, I do not plan to introduce extra-long racquets. The game is becoming faster so I feel that players need racquets easier to speed up.
For the intermediate and advanced players that you mention, I would be more thinking of introducing a TF40 or T-FIGHT with larger headsize 104in². Traditional feel with more playability.
What would everybody here think about that ?

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but given that you guys are already producing rackets with an unconventional 18x19 pattern, what I'd love to see from you guys is another unconventional pattern: 16x20. Good spin and net clearance but still top notch directional control from the 20 crosses. I think a 16x20 version of the TF40 98 at 305 or 310g unstrung would be perfect; I absolutely love the TF40 and the feel/directional control/stability/maneuverability etc. it has, and the only thing I wanted out of that frame was more open mains; the cross spacing is perfect already in my opinion. I think this would reach a wide audience of players who don't use a TF40 only because they need a bit more lift on the ball and end up buying inferior 16x19 Wilson Blades; you guys already have a sublime racket with the TF40.
A TF40 variant with a 104 headsize would be really cool to see. Would give some competition to the blade 104 and (if you guys make it plush enough) harken back to the days of those classic oversize Prince rackets. It could work in the TFight line but I think it would be better positioned with the TF40s, just because of the nostalgia of plush oversize frames.
