The Tecnifibre TF40 305 16x19 Tennis Racquet caters to intermediate and advanced players who prioritize a balance of control and maneuverability for their baseline game. This racquet incorporates Tecnifibre's innovative technologies to create a versatile weapon for players who like to dictate play from the back of the court.
Precise Targeting with a Touch of Power:
The TF40 305 features a smaller head size (98 sq. in.) compared to many beginner or recreational racquets. This offers a more compact sweet spot, rewarding players with accuracy on well-struck shots. The 16x19 string pattern, with its wider spacing between strings, increases the overall sweet spot a bit compared to a tighter pattern like the 18x20 version of this racquet. This allows for slightly more forgiveness on off-center hits while maintaining a focus on control.
Tecnifibre's Dynacore XTC construction combines a special basalt fiber with graphite. Basalt fibers are known for their exceptional dampening properties, resulting in a solid and muted feel on ball impact. This translates to a high degree of control and a predictable response, particularly beneficial for players who like to shape their shots with precision.
Maneuverability Meets Stability:
Despite its control-oriented design, the TF40 305 16x19 achieves a good balance between maneuverability and stability. The racquet's weight (11.3oz) falls within a midweight range, offering enough mass for powerful strokes while still allowing for quick swings.
The balance point (13.07in) leans slightly towards the head, contributing to a quicker swing speed and easier maneuverability. The swingweight (321) also sits in a range that provides a good balance between control and maneuverability.
A Racquet Built for Performance:
The TF40 305 features a constant beam width (22mm). This design offers a consistent feel throughout the swing, ideal for players who like to execute precise strokes with confidence.
The racquet's stiffness rating (64) falls within the mid-range of the spectrum. While racquets above 70 are considered stiff, a mid-range stiffness like this offers a good blend of power and control. This allows for a more direct feel for the ball but with some flex on impact compared to a truly stiff racquet. This can be beneficial for players with fast swing speeds who want some responsiveness in their shots without sacrificing control.
Match-Ready for Peak Performance:
This racquet is ideal for intermediate and advanced players with fast swing speeds who prioritize a blend of power and control for their baseline game. With the TF40 305 16x19 in hand, take charge of the court and unleash your competitive spirit.

What an outstanding racquet, I've been on the search for a control racquet and none in my opinion can be compared to how the TF40 hits. I use it with razor code and the feel and comfort when playing truly provides better power in returning the shots and confidence that the shots will land in. I highly recommend anyone who's in search for a control racquet to give this one a try.
