Overview
Introducing the TF-X1 285! Rising intermediate players looking to turn up the heat will appreciate this racquet's power. Compared to the TF-X1 300, this racquet is a tad lighter and faster, making it easier for improving players to generate the stroke speed required for effective pace and spin. Technologies include Tecnifibre’s IsoFlex System which utilizes grooves in the racquet’s bumper to create a more consistent playing string bed. To help with comfort, the TF-X1 features an updated version of the dampening system developed by Rene Lacoste. It's called X-Damp, and it combines a steel mass with elastomer supports to filter out harsh vibrations. On groundstrokes, the TF-X1 285 feels crisp, comfortable and powerful. Spin comes very easy, and the light weight makes it great for hitting shots on the run. The speed continues at net where this stick comes around with lightning speed to deliver easy targeting. Ultimately, this is simply a great option for the rising intermediate player who wants to ratchet up the pace and spin.

great racket for intermediate playersWon a USTA tournament (NTRP 5.0) with this racquet. I used to use TFight, which is very creative. I’m defensive player but I want to gain more power and be aggressive on court. So I switched to this racquet. Definitely feels like more power and topspin. Great power weapon.
Love This RacketI have been trying different racquets for the past few years now [last racquet purchased was a Yonex VCORE 98 2023], but I still felt like I didn't have the right racquet. I always do a ton of research, and Tecnifibre continued to show up in my searches. I decided to try out the Tecnifibre TF-X1 and the Solinco Blackout models. Ever since I demoed the TF-X1 racquet, I have loved it. It felt different to me than any other racquet I had used before. I was getting better head speed, my shots seem to have more power and I had the best control I have had to date. This racquet also generates great spin on my shots, which is something I am always after. This racquet is great and I finally feel like I made a great racquet purchase.
