Tecnifibre TF40 305 16x19 Review by Gladiators 

My racquet of choice, and I've been on quite a journey before i finally settled on this one. Most of my racquets over the past few years have been 18x20 string patterns. I loved the 18x20 version of this one, but the 16x19 still gives you the same excellent control with some added spin, perhaps a little more power, and a slightly higher launch angle. I've added 2 grams of lead total at 3 and 9. String it with volkl cyclone 17g yellow at 50 pounds, or 18g also yellow, at 52 pounds. Love this racquet.

I'm thinking of getting this one! I liked the previous version but the 18x20 stringbed is just too low-powered for me sadly and the launch angle feels so different. I love 16x19 and 16x20 the most. Your comments are interesting though, very nuanced. It's impossible really for any stock racquet to suit a large proportion of people so I think modification is necessary for almost any racquet. That's something I've come to realize recently!

Looking forward to the review of the new Prince tour 98!! 🤩🤩🎾🎾

Guys, great review as always, waiting tf40 315!✌

TF40 315 is my choice and loving it as a low powered frame. 5:50 great comment on the sweetspot. Can't agree more.

Hey guys, please review the Artengo TR 960 Control tour. There are two versions, the 16x19 and the 18x20.

Have you guys found that being at a high level and trying different racquets constantly hurts your game in any way or gets you to want something different racquet wise? I feel like it happens to me. I have my main sticks but I love trying new ones whenever they come out, but it always gets me complaining about my main stick and I’ll attempt to switch then run back to my trusty go-to LOL JW if you guys run into this problem at all or something similar.

Hey i relly love your content, do you feel like 300g and 305g racquets are noticably different or i wont feel it?

Great review! Would you be able to make a review of the new Babolat Pure Strike VS? thanks

Hey guy s- great channel! I've noticed that you always seem to use 1.30 gauge string - is that because its supplied by the academy you train at or is it simply that both if you prefer thicker strings over 1.25 or 1.20? If so, why the preference?

great review fron talented players, I like your funny way . tnx

I don’t get why anyone would want a control frame with an open string pattern. I love my TF40 305 18x20 - never felt it was underpowered or didn’t give me decent spin with correct technique. Still prefer the Gravity Pro though 🤤 Great review as always. You guys are crushing it!

I wanted to like this stick so bad but I didn't... at all. Oddly, the foam filling was just too much. I play with a brace and a ridiculous dampener, so the muted/dead feeling should've been my thing, but it just wasn't. I've decided this racquet is for people that hit slice/flat 2hbh despite swinging for top (medvedev/norrie/de minaur/kyrgios). Cheers for another great review guys!

Hi guys can you compare this to the Ezone 98 2022?

I would suggest a lower tension to get extra power and a more consistent string bed. Open string patterns on 98s do not perform well north of 50lbs

So obsessed with your logo! 😍 How did you come up with it?

How would you compare it to Head Gravity MP?

Excellent review gents! This racquet is a bit low powered. Yes, you can add lead but people might as well just buy a heavier or more powerful racquet to begin with...

I could be wrong, but are you guys based/train at the international tennis centre cornella? I swear I recognise the place even though I last trained there 11 years ago! Brings back a lot of good memories! Anyway love the videos 👌 keep up the good work

How do you compare this with Prostaff V13 315gr? I am considering to switch...

How would you compare it to the vcore 98 ?

Reviewing the Prince Tour 98 and the other racquets in the Tour series soon? Prince gripshapes are the best in my opinion.

Hey guys! It would be cool to see your top rackets for amateur players. What do you think about it?

not sure if it's the shape or what, but the technifibre grips seem like they run a size small

Still waiting for TF to release something that really sets them apart - I guess this wasn't it. Currently playing with the new VCorePro-D 18/20 and I agree, what is the point of a control racquet with an open string pattern. Go for broke! It makes me wonder why the new Blade 18/20 is practically being given away here in CAN, they're over-stocked everywhere.

How does it compare with the iga tempo? Which is better for spin and extreme western grip in forehand?

new to the channel, you guys have anyone with a onehanded backhand that could give their opinion on the racket??

Areg, you gave the same score for this racket and ezone 98, i.e 8. While you clearly said how bad the power of this TF and how powerful the ezone is.

Currently rocking the TF40 315 16x19. I don't mind the naming convention, as it's pretty simplistic: TF40 = Technifibre 40th anniversary, static weight, string pattern. No marketing buzzwords like BOOM or CLASH. Kind of reminds me of European cars, like BMW M3 or Audi A3. But I do agree with you about the handle. I also had trouble deciding if I liked the flat grip from Technifibre. Changing the original synthetic grip to a Babolat leather grip made a HUGE difference in terms of feeling the bevels and creating a better shape for the handle overall. Currently experimenting the lead tape as well to help balance out the added weight of the leather grip. I would be very interested to see a review of the TF40 315 16 x 19 and 315 18 x 20 as well. Heavier static weight, but lower swingweight, making the racquet super whippy.

Can you review the new Babolat Pure Strike VS?

Congratulations to Novak and that Russian girl that won Wimbledon 🏆 LoL!!! hahaha 😂😂😂😂 great review love you guys ❤️👊

Not a fan of those rectangular handle shapes. Prefer the squarer Wilson types.

Guys! I seriously echo what you have just said in the video. I bought this a couple months ago and couldn't get myself used to it. I had problems with finding clean hitting, at least I believe my shots were clean, but clearly no power from it at all. With constant use of this racquet, I started to lose my confidence in my game. Now I am changing back to my Head Extreme MP.. I bought this racquet because I had experienced too much power from the extreme mp, and I believe that the TF305 could help me with more control-oriented, but I was wrong.

1:14 Foot fault 😂

i don't enjoy the TF grip shape. especially on serve, doesn't fit my hand perfectly

Just before Novak won guys! Great review but what did you think of the match?

Please variate the thumbnails they all look the same. Use pics from the video. Also do more tournament videos. You have lots of potential guys

This racket is trash. The only positive is that the design is sick.
