Tecnifibre Official - Racquets

[sredna42]

I’ve been sponsored by Tecnifibre since 2013 and was one of 5 pros given the DC 315 Ltd earlier to play test months before release.

I told Dave D feedback to give the engineers in France but they didn’t change the racquet back to the same as the 2013 model with a new paint job.

Thanks mate, it's good to know I'm not imagining it afterall. There's nothing wrong with the dc version, its kinda sharp and crisp though. Just doesn't feel like the 2013 version at all, and not what I'm used to.

Anyone know where to purchase TFight XTC 305 bumper/grommets in the US? Thanks.

 

[smalahove]

Anyone tried the TFight 315 Limited XTC?

 

[Crocodile]

Anyone tried the TFight 315 Limited XTC?

Yes, it's my favourite out of their current frames, especially once it's customised with a leather grip and lead at 9 and 3.

 

[Frans Bleker]

@Tecnifibre Official you know what an "Tfight XTC 315 Limited" is called with the weight distribution of a "Tfight XTC 305"? A WilsonBlade/PureStrike killer!

 

[OnyxZ28]

@Tecnifibre Official will the 315 Ltd 18x20 grommets fit the original Tfight 325?

 

[stephenclown]

Yes, it's my favourite out of their current frames, especially once it's customised with a leather grip and lead at 9 and 3.

Is it better than the DC or original version? Also I have heard things about the 16x19 feeling stiff even though its low RA, have you any experience with this frame?

Yes I think it is but not as good as the 2013 and older T Fight series 325 frames. They were great frames particulatly the Samurai era paint jobs.
Current T Fight racquets are not as good but at least the LTD helps somewhat.

When's the new T-Flash release date?

 

[Frans Bleker]

@Tecnifibre Official will the new TF 40 replace the XTC 300,305,315,320 line or will it be 2 seperate lines next to eachother?

The TF40 looks very interesting... can't wait to hear more about it.

Thanks for that... I looked that up and the racquets look very nice. So far I like the specs of the 315 version more as it's more HL and the same static weight as my TFight 315 Limited (2013). Would be very interested to find out what the RA will be. Hopefully lower than the XTC TFights. The high 50s to very low 60s would be perfect for me... fingers crossed.

Omg..... Hdx tour discountined? @Tecnifibre Official

 

[Strawbewwy]

new sizes for the rackpack - interesting, if only they can fix the layout (reverse the shoe/accessory pocket) i'd be all over the bag again!

also very interesting to see the variations for the overgrips, a .3mm overgrip may be the thinnest we've seen so far? i think the thin variants from wilson/babolat are .4mm

a .4mm for the players and a .7mm for the players, this could be really nice!

 

[all-court-loser]

RA 64 unstrung for the TF40 305

 

[Nostradamus]

why is it that Technifiber never makes any extended rackets ?

@1990's Graphite do you know anyone from TF for sponsorship?

 

[1990's Graphite]

@1990's Graphite do you know anyone from TF for sponsorship?

I'll ask around find a rep, for a top rated TTW player, bionic poster, who loves low swingweights and XL frames with solinco tourbite. They may even be able to get some custom dr scholl insoles painted like superfeet insole for our special friend

Lol. Do companies ever give sponsorships to amateur players? Say 4.5 tournament level?

 

[Strawbewwy]

i wish they sponsor amateur stringers... i'd help them advertise strings to all my tennis friends! XD

 

[1990's Graphite]

hahaha no because then all the posters here would be sponsored because everyone here is 4.5 and 5.0, fedace 5.5

 

[Automatix]

IIRC this one will be the thinnest. I recall that the thinnest one up until now was Kirschbaum Touch It ultra at an advertised 0.38mm thickness. Back in the day these wouldn't last a match.

On a different note. Stating that a tight pattern in the middle progressing to a more open one outside of the center is something unique is very cheeky of Tecnifibre.

Smells like... "Arf as ai" from France

 

[mikele]

Tflash back with silicone in the handle, pity they did not make a 315 version like before

 

[Classic-TXP-IG MID]

RA 64 unstrung for the TF40 305

Sounds good... so about 60-61 RA strung... getting better and better

Not sure they said it was something super unique... just one of the features of the racquet... at least how I took it.

Look, I know that's all advertising bs. But they did use the word "unique" for something that has been around for a very long time. It's not like other companies don't do it, I just felt the need to underline this.

 

[TennisHound]

Yep . I’m amazed at how much better the XTCs are than both previous T-Fight iterations (Dynacore and DC). 305 315 and 300.

Yeah, I understand... they always need to make it special and shiny so that people get excited and buy the new amazing racquet.

I've only played the original 2013 right 315 because of the hype that it was a copy of the pt57.. I thought the xtc was a complete different mold? how does it compare to the 2013 if you have experience?

I think that the poster you are referencing is talking about the regular TFight XTC models and not the 315 Limited, but I could be mistaken...

 

[Tecnifibre Official]

@Tecnifibre Official will the 315 Ltd 18x20 grommets fit the original Tfight 325?

Hi OnyxZ28. Unfortunealty, the LTD grommet kit won't fit the original TFIGHT 325.

 

[Tecnifibre Official]

When's the new T-Flash release date?

We are excited to say that the new TFLASH Series will be released on/about August 7th!!

 

[Tecnifibre Official]

@Tecnifibre Official will the new TF 40 replace the XTC 300,305,315,320 line or will it be 2 seperate lines next to eachother?

Hi Frans. The new TF40 Racquet Series will be a new racquet category for us. It targets the expert & pro level players. The TFIGHT XTC Series remains in the line for another year.

 

[Tecnifibre Official]

Omg..... Hdx tour discountined? @Tecnifibre Official

Hi there. Don't fret!! While HDX Tour is currently being phased out, we will introduce a remix of the string (name & info to remain nameless for now . I can assure you that this new update will maintain the core essence and elements of HDX Tour, with a few changes to the manufacturing process to create a more reliable string for today's players.

Thanks for that info @Tecnifibre Official

Both the T-Flash and TF40 Series racquets look amazing... can't wait to hear more about them and listen to some reviews. Will the TF40 Series be broadened to more models or stay with just two for now? Thanks

Just a change of name? Or recipe?

Hi. Thanks for your question.....the TF40 will be the 2 models. And playtests & videos are underway!

 

[Tecnifibre Official]

Name change for sure.....and hmmmmm......recipe is the same, but the baking process is different .

 

[Jster]

@Tecnifibre Official , TF is phrasing out red code wax as well? Based on online catalogue? Seriously? 2 years life span?

 

[Tecnifibre Official]

Hi Jster. Yes, unfortunately Red Code Wax is being discontinued. This is the only string "going away". HDX Tour is being re-invented to be bigger & better than before. I do think RCW was around longer than 2 years - but your right, compared to some of our other strings, this was a short life span. Have you tried Ice Code yet?

Is ice code round or shaped? I am using red code wax and HDX tour as hybrid.

 

[tribesmen]

It is round and a great string. I've used Hyper G for two years, but now Ice Code 17 is my string of choice. Supreme control, not very soft, more powerful than Black Code, spin is no problem and last longer than Hyper G.

 

[MarioRich]

T40 looks and sounds great!! What will be the stiffness rating on the T40 305 and 315?

Thanks, tribesmen. You summed up Ice Code better than I could . Quick verification: when you say "lasts longer than Hyper G", do you mean durability or tension maintenance? I love feedback & information.

@Jster. I apologize for messing up your preferred string set up of RedCode Wax and HDX Tour. While you will be able to easily switch to HDMX from HDX Tour, you'll have to see for yourself if you can sub in Ice Code for the mains. Please know that HDMX will also come in a 15g, and perhaps you can try that in a full bed.

 

[Tecnifibre Official]

Hi MarioRich. Thank you for the kind words. I wish I could take credit for the design . We have a great R&D and design team and they've been killing it lately. While the TF40 Series will have the lowest stiffness rating of all our frames today, I would prefer to let Tennis Warehouse take the lead here so all the specs are consistent and more helpful when you compare against other frames. I hope this makes sense for your needs.

I meant a tension maintenance. Durability of 17 is no problem, but I was surprised regading tension maintenance for a poly string, it is really good. But the CONTROL is the first thing that comes in mind regarding Ice Code and control is the most important feature for me I was looking for strings.

August 7th is the official launch date!
