I gotta say I am somewhat worried about that huge drop in balance on the new 305
Not really? At least not in that order. It IS the french flag. The colors are also in other flags, yes. But with that argument, every racket is all countries... (also not really, but you started the reductio ad absurdum).I mean its also American, Australian, Dutch, Chilean, Czech, Croatian, Serbian, Paraguayan, Russian, Slovak, British, New Zealander....
is this stringjob confidential with gut crosses?have you ever tried it in other frames how does it play?The cat is out of the bag!
It's Solinco Confidential 1.15mm mains, Gosen AK PRO CX 1.24mm on the cross. It's not my regular set-up,, as I dont have a regular racquet. I used this combination, as it's the one I use on the current ISO 305 - making it easier to compare current ISO 305 with the new.is this stringjob confidential with gut crosses?have you ever tried it in other frames how does it play?
How many playing hours dies this setup last for you? I played with a similar setup but it did not last long, ~10h.It's Solinco Confidential 1.15mm mains, Gosen AK PRO CX 1.24mm on the cross.

I find the AK PRO CX gives me a more direct feel and more control, compared to other syn/multis. I use it to add comfort on the current 305. With the new 305, I will probable go full poly, as the racquet feels pretty plush already.

I hardly get 10 hours out of poly anyway, so if it doesn't break then that seems like a huge positive.Same. 10-12hrs before the set-up develops a buzz from tension drop and then I cut out.
To my knowledge - it looks like the tfight 305 is the racket where adjustments were made and the 300 is getting both a 98 and 100 and eliminating the 295.Any updates regarding the beam width, SW, and balance? Cheers!
Based on that alhough I know what you’re saying it’s too early to comment they ruined itJust tried the new Tfight 305 for 30 mins. It was strung with Solinco Confidential 4.0 main and Hyper G Round cross at 50 lbs if I remember correctly. I can’t say much because it’s not something I’m used to so it’s hard to compare, but definitely not a good setup for this racket, I think its stiffer and less solid. And I hurt my wrist a bit on backhand. I think it now feels like a Tempo 298 (Iga Swiatek). The good thing I can say for sure is it’s more headlight and you can hold/swing for longer game. Other than that I don’t want to comment until I got to try it on better setups. Paintjob looks pretty good, but when gloss coat is on white base paint, I don’t think it’s very visible.
Specs:
W 328g
SW 322
Balance 32.3cm
Curious as well if they’re able to keep the magic with these changes. Beckett made a comment towards the end of is ‘favorite rackets right now’ video that he likes the ISO305, but being in the test phase of the new version he isn’t considering the old version anymore on his listBased on that alhough I know what you’re saying it’s too early to comment they ruined it
However when you play with softer strings we will know
Agree and Ac tennisIndeed! As well as ACtennis
yeah someone here a page or two back showed the balance unstrung is 31.5. Interesting to see the reduced SW.New one absolutely rules for me. Requires high swing speeds for sure but it was plug and play. Specifics to come.
Which racket? I know when most people talk tfights 90% of the time it’s the 305. But all of them play quite well. And feel pretty goodHello, I'm super interested in the new T-Fight and can't wait to see it released. I love my T-Fight but I would like to know more about the 2025 version for the lucky ones who test it. I know how to keep secrets, so if possible I would like a private message, to find out more I will keep it secret. At least know if it changes much from the current version.
The new design is really great. It doesn't bother me on the contrary, I'm French lol!
Thank you so much !
I want to know the true specs so I can consider the current iso 315 on clearance before it’s fully out of stock hahaSo excited!!! Personally I play with the T-Fight 300, I find it incredible, fast, good effects the only thing I can criticize about it is its rigidity. I hope it is more flexible and that would be perfectOn the other hand, the 300 is really precise, I love it. For those testing the news? That of 2025 would be closer to the Head speed mp. But keeping Tecnifibre specialties? Come on, a little Christmas spoiler^^
Just the 300 and the 305 for now.yeah someone here a page or two back showed the balance unstrung is 31.5. Interesting to see the reduced SW.
Are you going to test the new 315? The 315 when I played with it in the current /previous version seemed like a hidden gem. I had a mental block to 16x19 in the past and now I’m more open to it getting older haha
Finally can have a shot at 305 to have it at 7HL and 325SWI have this in the hand and it's a beauty. Balance has been changed to be more headlight and the swing weight has been reduced. These are going to look great on court. I really love the redesign.
Instant switch if that is the case!Finally can have a shot at 305 to have it at 7HL and 325SW![]()
It gloss thoLet me guess: they're painting it white again

In theory yes, but there is always a QC lotteryYour'e going to be happy. Measured around 290 SW unstrung. The gloss looks awesome. They boxed off the beam design more from the last one. It looks great.
And it may be easier to handle, but will it still have the magic of the current t-fight 305?In theory yes, but there is always a QC lottery![]()
D you know the RA?I just tested the t-fight 300 (98) for 1 week. What a racquet... It felt amazing in many areas. I'm going to switch from my blade v9. I love the sensation of the glossy paint when you have this racquet in your hands.
No i don't, i tested an all white version with no specs on it. But i'll not be surprised if it drops by 1 or 2. It felt very comfortable. I play my blade with natural gut and soft mono because i have some arm injury. The t-fight was string with solinco confidential at 23kg and i felt 0 arm discomfort. I may be wrong but the ra felt like 64 or something near.D you know the RA?
May join you. Some easy power vs V9?I just tested the t-fight 300 (98) for 1 week. What a racquet... It felt amazing in many areas. I'm going to switch from my blade v9. I love the sensation of the glossy paint when you have this racquet in your hands.
I have natural gut 23kg mains and alu rough 22kg crosses on v9 and confidential 23kg on tfight and i still find the tfight easier to play with and more powerful even in full poly.May join you. Some easy power vs V9?
Thanks for joining TT yesterday to post your thoughts on the upcoming racquet... Especially your intention to switch to itI just tested the t-fight 300 (98) for 1 week. What a racquet... It felt amazing in many areas. I'm going to switch from my blade v9. I love the sensation of the glossy paint when you have this racquet in your hands.
When do they officially launch?My shop had a box full of them today. I got to look, but they said not for sale til mid-January. Gorgeous racquet. Love the glossy paint and the boxier beam. Will be upgrading from my current 300 and 305 to the new 300. The 300 and lighter versions to be available both as 98 and 100 versions. 300s will be the 98. 300 will be the 100.
He couldn’t be any more specific than “mid-January”. Likely around start of AO.When do they officially launch?
In my region, the shops had stock of the new T-fight since Nov, but are not allowed to let them out until 14 Jan 2025. I would think you could get your hands on them before that.When do they officially launch?
