The 315 ISO is also in my bag, it's a good racket, easier to use than the 305 due to lower swingweight and balance, but indeed takes some time to get used to it and not overhit. Had the same coming from mainly playing the GPro 2023.

Oh no, you're not necessarily buying it for the HL, its the old head grip shape where its a bit round on the edges, so if you have a SW grip or using continental to serve, its hard to get a feel of the grip sometimes. Very personal preference but also a common issue. For reference, from another post

Well, there is a 98 sq.in. version of the 300 as well, so you don't have to go for the 100 sq.in. .

Today I played the first time with one of my new Tfight305S, strung with Razor Soft 1.20 mm at 23 kg and this stick can do it all. I am totally happy about the way Tecnifibre changed it from the ISO305 which was too much for me over a clay court battle in Europe in the summer, especially for serving. The new one is awesome in every category and it is not too stiff at all. Both frames have the same weight, can't measure sw, quality also improved, and I am a German Quality Engineer! Search ended...

Thx, I know @dabes545! 
My trick with Technifibre (305 ISO) is to go with one grip size smaller and then do the "Novak thing": leather grip + 2 OGs, the first without overlap. I will do the same thing with the 305s but without a leather grip since it is more HL than the previous model. I am currently in Melbourne and visited the TW store (Tennis Only in AUS) yesterday. I bought two discounted 305 ISO, one 305s, and one Gravity Pro Aux2. All having a 300 SW unstrung. You got to love TW!!

How would you describe the difference between gravity tour vs iso 305 s 2025 ?
AAATSportingGoods

I mentioned in the gravity tour thread that I felt that it felt too heavy in the head with not enough mass in the throat, to the point where it felt unbalanced. When the MGRI people talk about the push vs pull feeling, I imagine the GT as the pull feeling whereas this iteration of the 305 is the push feeling.
The GT feels great/eggy on contact, but something about the balance/shape throws me off. I lean more towards it being a balance issue bc I have no problem with the other gravities.
The 305 doesn’t feel a great, feels similar to the previous version. But otherwise, the maneuverability, shape, power, predictability, everything is nearly perfect. It just feels too crisp for me, not much dwell time. I prefer a more muted racquet. The 305 makes my PA98 feel muted. I’m getting it restrung today, maybe that will make a difference. Praying it does bc if this thing plays a bit less lively, my 20yr racquet quest (including pro stocks) may actually be coming to a close.

Mine arrived, excellent condition, bit beefier than yours. 33.6 cm balance, 332SW. Unknown strings, will string it up freshly when I’ve decided what with.
Perhaps, but depending on how low you're looking to go on SW, they're going to be increasingly rare to find, especially as stock dwindles. So I would say, if you've got frames already, great. Otherwise, a "high spec" '25 305S is probably the better move at this point (of which there are plenty of, and more to come, I'm sure).
Then you need to go with softer and more muted strings, that's a given. I would highly recommend a full bed of that type of poly (example: Toroline Absolute, MSV Focus Hex +25 or +38), or a slightly firmer, mildly-shaped main with a softer round cross (example: Pure Rush 1.18 or 1.23 / Ghostwire 1.17 or 1.22). Else, switch to a hybrid, with a gummy, muted non-poly/partial-poly in the mains and a soft, slick and muted poly cross. Example: Velocity 1.25 / Cream 1.23.

Yap,that are my RS's.They are L3 with rounded grio shape at the bottom.I have ISO now L2 and put 2 OG's,It is wonderfull even without leather,It very good option for people who do not have issues with TF pallet shape,Just flat bottom finish.Oh no, you're not necessarily buying it for the HL, its the old head grip shape where its a bit round on the edges, so if you have a SW grip or using continental to serve, its hard to get a feel of the grip sometimes.

2 OGs on ISO L2 and balance around 32.5cm without leather.Pretty comfortable to swing.

Could someone describe who the TFight 315 might be for? I know the 305 gets a lot of love but the 315 looks fun to me as a former Pure Storm/Pure Control user, but I don't see a lot of discussion about where it fits in the market. I guess it also looks a little Pro Staffy. How spin friendly is it?

I tried it for 30 minutes. It was strung fresh with Tecnifibre Black Code 4S @ 53lbs
This is what I felt IMO comparing the 305s, keeping in mind, I strung it at 48lbs, whereas the 315s is at 53lbs
Direct comparison with these two setups was not overall the biggest difference for me
- If you spin the ball a lot, it's not going to make much of a difference, they both have similar max spin potential
- Power wise mostly the same. The new T-fights possibly may be missing just a small drop of top end power for true put away power compared to Gravity Tour and PA98, but not bad by any means for most people, just comparison wise
- It's rated higher slightly with the stiffness levels, but subtly with the more open pattern, I felt it opens up a little better marginally for off centre shots. I'm not familiar with Black Code 4S, but reading into it, people say it's on the firmer side, and 53lbs is also 5lbs above my reference tension (48lbs) and I was not getting some of the harshness that I was on the 305s for off centre hits - so you could attribute that to be it being slightly more forgiving. I think that's to do with the string bed density, where tighter patterns will always play a little more firm obviously.
- It moves and swings similar to the 305s, it's just added weight to make it more headlight, midrange swingweight, still fast and manoeuvrable
- Control wise, especially at this tension, I didn't think it was much better or worse between both string patterns, you can still hit quite flat or get some good arc, if you know how to vary your swing and angle of your contact point
So my rough conclusion is if i'm getting similar power and spin at 53lbs on a firm poly, I imagine that 5lb tension drop to reference tension is just going to enhance all of those characteristics subtly in comparison to the 305s, mainly given the string pattern for both.
Also I didn't think there was as much of a differentiation in both models, whereas the ISO 305 and 315 , feel and control wise it was quite a notable difference for me personally

Playing 2 hours with the 305S and I can now resonate with Troy's comments... I felt the difference in weight distribution compared to the 305 ISO, particularly on my OHBH. The frame was still stable, but I couldn't unleash and follow through the backhand as with the ISO. On the other hand the forehand felt very nice actually (I am between a semi-western and western grip) and the maneuverability helped with top spin shots. You'll need to add some weight in the handle and hoop if you aim for a swing, which brings you very close to the ISO feel. In stock form it would definitely suit a lot of players, who never thought of playing with a T-Fight in the past coming from a Blade or Speed Pro. A good marketing move... So, for those who love the previous model: a leather grip / weight in the handle and 1 to 2 grams of lead at 12 and you'll also enjoy this new one with a nicer PJ a lot. You'll also get used to the slight stiffer feeling, which is marginal to me. I also managed to hit with the two new ISOs I bought with the same 332 SW and balance. Well, you feel a big difference if the SW isn't at 340 or the 345 like the other two I have. I could do everything with it and it also felt so stable without any lead. It's just the slightly better one out of the two for me and I may finally switch to it if I perform well at the upcoming comp matches. No need to stock up, 4 are enough as I could easily adjust the new 305s to my preferred specs.

I made the mistake of using too crisp of a string with the ISO 315 I believe, so they were shooting off the strings too fast - agree that it was not playing at the indicated RA you would expect it after more time with it
I admit that my experience was swayed by a couple of string setups that just didn't suit the frame, that lost tension too fast, so i lost control, especially for my playstyle being very aggressive , with the 305 cuz of the 18x19 i didnt have to worry so much - those were my takeaways
But i never did full review on 315 because my opinion is open until i spend proper time with it, which i spent maybe 5 sessions only and not enough setups

315 iso. Not that it’s bad I do like it.
More so jokingly to go back to a less SW 305 that was too high last version.
305S is THE best racket I have played in last 10 years, (i tried like 5 rackets every year, mainly 98 inch, 320sw, <64 RA, 20-23mm beam, 16-19 16-20 rackets)
The most stable racket I have every played with less than 330sw, (2nd best is prince ats 98)
Best control so far, (maybe because i mainly play with 16-19 rackets).
Best Serve so far. both power and consistancy.
Average spin, medium to low launch angle.
Exclent feel, solid, soft but not muted. (Those rackets I have played with good feel are BP, UP, Regna, Head Aux 2.0s, Diadem Elevate V3, BAP etc)
My last main racket before the switch is Head Extreme pro aux 2.0
This one have similar power, much better control, less spin, better feel, similar swing speed, better serve.
Anyone who mainly play with a 16/19 players racket should give it a try. (I read a lot but seldom post here, but this racket is tooooo good that i want more people to try
)

Have you played with the Ezone 98?
Currently debating between the new Ezone 98 and the 305S. I'm aware one is 16x19 and the other one is 18x19. I only play on red clay.
Last edited:
I have played with both 305S and EZ98 (2022) as I enjoy medium-low launch angle frames.
I find the 305S more stable and can create a heavier shot also. I can swing out with more control and the feel is less muted. The downside is comfort, it can be quite jarring when missing the sweetspot (I string at 44/42lbs, Tour M8 on both, I will try lowering tension a bit)
EZ98 is more tolerant, can produce high ball speed with less effort, but shots aren't as heavy in my opinion. Maneuverability is similar (I bring both to 31.5cm balance strung) but the EZ allows for some crazy slap wristy shots on my forehand that can be quite addictive. I do struggle on the one-handed backhand spin shots with it. Slices are great.
I purchased the 305S because of how they lowered the SW and balance point, which made me consider it for the backhand (I could not manage the 305 ISO at all on that side). Got used to it quite well and I love it!
The one problem I have with the 305S is that with the glossy paint, I lose control of the throat sometimes right before hitting slice shots, the frame will slip away from my left hand's sweaty fingers! The slice backhand is one of my strengths so I need to find a solution to this.

Salut
Je viens de tester les 300s pendant 2 heures. En gros, j’ai un 300iso.
Je suis assez partagé...
Le nouveau 300s est très stable, rapide, de bons effets et plus que suffisant de puissance.
D’un autre côté, j’étais encordé dans un Razor-soft 22kg et omg c’était raide !! J’ai encore mal au bras 3 heures plus ****.
Quel type de corde recommandez-vous d’y mettre ?
J’ai du mal à trouver la raquette qui me convient. Je recherche une raquette avec les mêmes sensations que la T-Fight mais beaucoup plus douce sur le bras.

I have not played with Ezone 98 2025 yet. I gave up on Yonex after trying a few yonex with VDM. I have tried Vcore 98 red (bad feedback) , Vcore pro 97 (not that bad) and Percept 97 (too low powered) etc.
Between the new Ezone 98 and Tfight 305s, the feels are drastically different. I'm currently testing both, they are almost two ends of the feel spectrum. One is more muted and vague than the previous gen, while Tfight 305s to me is almost overly crisp to the point my arm hurt after playing with it. That being said, I can see these two racquets could be string-sensitive.
If you know your preferred feel, that should be an easy decision.
It's not even for "feel", but obviously arm/elbow/shoulder health is important, as having some extra power also. Currently with the 305 ISO, however the SW is starting to feel too much. Need a racquet that "helps" me a little bit more. Also had one issue with one of my 305s cracking on the throat (similar to Pure Strikes).
Cracking on the new 305s?
What are you exactly looking for compared to ISO305? If the sw is the only issue then the new 305s would be an easy transition.
No, the ISO 305 cracked, after 50-60 hours or so (missed an apostrophe on 305's). Initially SW was the focus, yes. But as I play exclusively on red clay, a frame that is a little bit more powerful and forgiving has my attention. I believe the new Ezone fits that mold. With that said, the 305S also gets there. That is why buying racquets without unlimited funds is a difficult task.
In terms of feel and comfort, 305s is 63 RA and quite comfortable to me, and very little vibration. I have a very sensitive elbow anything above 62RA *might* cause arm discomfort for me (even ats98, radical Aux1.0).
I had tennis elbow and golf elbow from many mid RA rackets, buut I have no problem with 305S.

I have never tried 305iso, I tired TF40 16/19 few years back and this one plays much better in terms of feel, swing speed and stability.

Tfight 305s is like a pocket edition to iso 305
Can anyone compare the new 300S with the 2023 Radical MP (my current stick of choice)? I don’t mind the 98” headsize and the stiffness, but there are times (mostly defending) when I’d need more power/spin. Some more feel wouldn’t be that bad either. @galapagos I believe in your video you mention you played with both right?

I played the 360+ MP but I think it should be similar. Compared to 300s I would say 300s is much more powerful and spinny (towards speed mp) but you loose a bit of comfort. 300s feels also more stable (but also a bit more bulky) - again- a bit towards speed mp but still you have that 98” headsize connection and feel is a bit more direct where speed mp is for a specific player and playstyle I would say
I have not tried 300s, but comparing to 305s, radical mp aux1.0 got tad more spin and power, noticeable higher launch angle. But have much smaller sweet spot and it is much less stable. 305s is also easier to swing and have a tad better comfort. Radical gave me a bit elbow discomfort.

I just got a new tfight '25 305s and it's overspec on static weight at like +5g. Unfortunately, I don't have a machine to measure SW and I already took the plastic wrap off the handle so I'm not sure if I'm too ecstatic about being stuck with this overspec racket. Was originally going to put a leather grip for better hand feel, but now worried that the static weight is just going to be a lot higher than what I want.
I've swung it around in comparison to my PS98 which is 5g lighter on static weight, but the tfight (even with the +5g static) feels a little lighter and faster to swing.

Oh man sorry to hear, I also play with the 300 iso and was thinking of upgrading. Razor soft wasn't uncomfortable but I would feel a bit of stiffness on the 300 iso. I do like Toroline k-pop and k-pro in it the most.
