Tecnifibre views this modification as a reflection of what’s been happening in the pro game. With ball speeds increasing, players have less time to react and produce quality swings. Each passing generation has seen frames 1) get lighter with lower swingweight for increased acceleration, and 2) have larger head sizes and more open string patterns for added power. Which adds up to bigger cuts at the ball and shots with more pace and spin.
However, lower swingweights can potentially translate into a less powerful and shakier racquet at contact. To make sure that’s not an issue with the new T-Fights, its beam has been slightly revamped. It still has the RS Section—a combination of a round and square shape—but it’s 4% larger for increased stiffness. This makes the racquet a bit sturdier and transmits more energy into the ball.
