Tecnifibre's Curva range focuses on comfort and handling; within the series the Speed is the stiffest and most direct variant. 16K carbon in the face and a 21/13/21 Multibloc structure provide a firm feel, while the Control Foam core absorbs part of it. Add the series technologies: X-Speed for aerodynamics, Spin Skin for ball grip and a progressive perforation that gets larger towards the edge. Manufacturer specifications: 355 g, teardrop shape, neutral balance.
At 355 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The hard core gives direct feedback on clean contact but is less forgiving. With power 8 and control 8 out of 10, it is evenly geared towards power and precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 4.5 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 91% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. Hard core and medium balance: only 21 of the 507 models we compare have this combination. 7 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €126.68 to €179.98 – a €53 difference for the same model.
Advanced and competitive players looking for a firm, fast racket with plenty of spin potential.
