Just an FYI for you and your viewers, like many pros, Medvedev only endorses the latest TFight, he doesn't play with it. Underneath the 305 ISO paint job, he actually uses a 305 Dynacore from 2015, which is 95", 18x19 pattern, 22mm beam, 65RA flex, customized to 350-360g static weight, with an unknown swing weight (probably well north of 340).
❤
I mean we can’t really confirm which racket he’s using. I’ve read the same you’ve mentioned on google but we can’t really say if he could be using that, or a customized Isoflex frame, or something else 🤔
I think he's changed from that dynacore at the end of last year according to stringers
But your broad point is correct, Murray still uses mostly his pt57a yet it's always the latest paint job
I tried the TFight 305 XTC, but I was not a fan of the 18x19 string pattern, which is eventually used by many pros along with 18x20 pattern. I am more of a 16x19 or 16x20 pattern guy.
Source?
Just bought a pair today. This racquet is truly unique. I loved everything about it. So stable, but also great pop and control. It hits super flat, but I don’t struggle with the launch angle that I usually do with 18x20 racquets. I’m super surprised by it, but it was literally love at first hit. Crisp and powerful, but controlled and connected at the same time.
You'll be saying the same thing in a couple of years when the next ' best thing ' hit the market.
@@capricornmagic63 this is my first racquet change since the Head Extreme in the late 2000’s, but ok 👍
@@dps0610how is it going now?
Tried this racquet based on the review, curious about it, but prepared to not like it that much due to the head-heaviness. Turns out, it's the best racquet I've ever hit with hands down and will be switching to it. Thanks for reviewing!
Just did a demo of this racquet and it is everything you said it was in the review. The first thing that came to mind when hitting with it was "What is this NASA material?" and "How?". It's freaking nuts just like Meddy. I noticed that on my weakest shot (running/sliding two handed backhand) the racquet magically put it over the net with spin, depth and angle almost as if it read my mind!!! My current favourite stick is/was the Dunlop CX 200 tour which I've dialed in with lead tape and string job. I can't wait to dial this one in and I love the white futuristic cosmetic. Thanks for the honest review.
First 🙌🏼 + Solid In-Depth Review , + Nice Haircut Karue 🤜🏻😄
*so far
Hahah thank you! I'm a wannabe peaky blinder 😂
@@tennisbrothers Good luck in your 25k events!
Has Karue followed you yet? 🤭
Recently switched from the vcore 98 to last gen t fight 315 and all the stuff you said about the racket carries over. It’s helped improved my game in such short time.
I changed to this stick 2 weeks ago. I’m in love with it. This video perfectly sums it up.
Great review as always. Would love a follow up video after you get to customise it. Would be interested to know what yours comes out as swing weight wise. It looks on paper to be more or less 10grams more than the VC95. The extra weight in the handle would make it very intriguing. Can’t wait to see.
I bought a TecniFibre T-Fight RS 305 in April and it’s great. It suits my game because my strokes are very similar to Medvedev’s. He’s also my favourite player.
I just ordered a TecniFibre T-Fight Isoflex 305 and I’m so excited to play with it and compare it with my RS 305! I went with Razor Code white 16L strung at 38Lbs tension lol 🔥
thanks for detailed review
I demoed this racquet and it feels special in a good way! I was hesitant to even try it because not many videos talk about this racquet so I thought it is just a not-worth-it racquet. However, when I tried it, I liked it. It is maneuverable, comfortable on my arm/elbow, and it produces deep baseline shots that keeps the opponent back in the court. My one-hand backhand shots are not that good with it, but I decided to buy it. One note, it works well with multifilament string, but for a reason, it did not work with poly. This is my personal experience. A multifilament string creates more accurate shots for me with this racquet. I recommend demoing it to decide on it before buying it.
Great review! 👏
Looking forward to that follow up video showing how you have adapted the ISO to your game and specs!
Definitely would like to see a follow up video.
Fantastic review
Recently switched to this frame. 2 Things that jumped out at me - and you highlighted them both! I figured I'd try it with Tecnifibre string, so I went with Ice Code 1.25. It feels and plays *great* . . . but my god . . . so. much. white. Maybe it's because I switched from the black version of the G360+ Speed Pro? It's going to take some getting used to. And, yeah, I bought a leather grip. Maybe it's the foam in the frame, maybe it's because it's not as head light as other racquets . . . whatever the reason, it's pretty comfortable without having a squishy grip.
As a tfight 305 RS and XTC user - leather grip, overgrip plus 1 gram at 3 and 1 gram at 9 ( copper tape) 7 grommets worth. Perfect set up.
Nice video! Karue I'd love you making a video analysing the key differences you see within tennis levels, specially what it takes to move from top 300-400 to a top 100, and what you need to get from top 100 to top 10 in your opinion. Think it'd be super cool for tennis fans because when I see you playing against Guiron I just see 2 very good tennis players but cannot appreciate that much the differences, and I assume there is a lot. Thanks!!
Also from 4.0/4.5 to 5.0 for recreational level too. I feel like that 4.5 to 5.0 is a huge gap. I see a lot junior players can make utr 6/7 but only 1 or 2 could make 9/10 in one high school per year.
would be good to make a video analysis on Djoko,nadal, federer compared to players outside of too 100
Hey Karue! Many thanks for sharing your experience with new T-Fight. I also tried with demo and felt that the groundstroke was awesome, but for Kick serve, it required more effort to put. So I was wondering what string did you put on the stick? My demo came up with ice code.
Thank you!
Oi Karue! Thanks for your review on this racket. I’m already a fan of the Technifibre rackets and play with the TF40 315. Tech is giving the big 3 a run for their money. Also you should review their strings. I use Triax 16 and love it! Easy on the arm and lasts long for a poly.
Triax is a multi not a poly
@@nakmuay5034 I stand corrected it’s a multi.
Definitely Need to see the following video with some customization
Love the vid as always. Question what strings are you using with this racquet? Tx!
Great review Karue! How would you compare this with TF40 315(16X19)? I just moved to that from VC95 and loving it so far.
Will try it out! Radical PRO 2021 is my stick now
Leather grip video is a must!
Great video! Plz do more)
Love your reviews!
Did you get to try the Head Boom Pro already? The reviews seem very mixed, would love to see what someone of your level has to say about it (given it h as a bit of a funny head shape)
Great review, any chance of comparing this racquet to the new Solinco Whiteout 305?
Karue, which leather grip will you put on this frame? Thanks for all the amazing content ;)
So the ISO is more head-heavy than usual but has a lower static weight and is somehow more maneuverable because of this? That implies that the usual head-light balance advice for maneuverability is wrong. And wouldn't adding a leather grip both change the balance and add static weight, messing up what is supposedly good about this racquet? Confused here... Karue, can you enlighten me? Is this just a lighter frame so it feels easier to maneuver?
If you transitioned from the V95 to this stick...... then Im comfortable ordering a Tecnifibre..... :-)
How does it compare to Head Boom Pro? It’s sounds similar,… whippy, stable, comfortable and great feel.
Fun fact Delpo was the opposite and for the longest time refused to go for a current model paint job but insisted on the red/white Six One look.
I'm in love with this racquet! What string would you recommend?
Hey Karue I am interested in demoing this racquet. What string and tension did you use in your racquet? And how did you paint your vcore 95 all red???
Are you going to test out the new aero?
how does this racket compare to the tf40 16x19 305 ? thanks in advance.
What string/tension are you using?
Is it more versatile than the vcore 95?
Sounds like Speed MP ? I remember you got along with the Speed as well
It is interesting how color of the racquet matters a lot. I've been using TFight 315 DC (blue, black and red one) and I prefer Yonex Poli Tour Pro yellow, but few times they didn't have yellow string and on one of them, I have a black string, I can't see contact with the ball anymore. When I get back to the one with yellow string, my strokes are much cleaner.
Yes color of the string does affect the string lol. I read that somewhere too
Hi have you customized like you said in the end of this video. It is realt what i tought. Leather grip with some weight probably on the handle and lead tape on the head to makebit heavier and more swing weight. Im interested to watch this review
Are there any 280-290g versions comming soon?
what is your racquet of choice now ?
What string did you use on racquet for video?
Mate, i have a vcore 95". Im tented to switch to this one. What do You think ? I wanna try a bigger head size.
Can you please review this Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98 - as your next racket, Tennis Warehouse has it in stock
Anyone jump from the blade v8 to this stick? And thoughts?
Would have been great if you had tried customization adding weight and balance in steps up to your usual spec. You did mention it was not ideal at the net in stock form. Medvedev adds weight, 350g static, and 332g swing weight.
Sounds like this racquet might change his spec and move it lighter!
Hopefully you can review the new Yonex Ezone Tour! 315gram static weight at 4 pt headlight. Seems like you’d be the perfect person to let us know how it plays!
Interestingly Karue later changed to another racquet which also had an 18x19 pattern (Percept 100D).
Hi karue. I have question. Do u use leather grip for your racket?
yes
so basically Tecnifibre is just a new Wilson Hammer 6.2 which is light but head heavy?
Medvedev use an old Dynacore 95 not the t fight, try the TF 40 16x19 305 I think it’s better for you
Interesting racket
In the range of 2020-22 almost all producers learned how to build proper racquets. I mean with enough mass they became surprisingly easy to swing - Head, Yonex, Wilson.... But Tecnifibre is still at the swingweight: 335 for 305gr racquet...how is that possible that this racquet is easy to swing as in this review? It seems like another Head Touch Prestige Tour 305gr 99sq.in (18x19)...and it is also strange to have 18x19 as company representative told that they were going to 16x20 in the next generations...which the Babolat did with their 305gr Pure Aero VS;)
Karew could make a pro staff from the 90's look like a forgiving racket
Hey Karue! Thanks for the video! Quesions: what leather grip do you prefer? I need to check but assume you use an overgrip on top. Have you had issues with the overgrips sliding down the leather one? I had that with my ADV overgrips. I like them so much that I actually went to a regular replacement grip that has little cushion so it it was a good alternative, and the sliding issues stopped.
I just noticed your racquet was 340grs. Man due I have an ego issue, mine are were at 354 (Vcore pro HD 97 with leather grip). Without the overgrip using the other one is still 347. Maybe it is too heavy for me indeed (though my shoulders have never have been more toned😁)
hmm typically I just use the racket brand’s leather grips, so yonex for the longest time. Yes I use an overgrip over it, yonex white grips. And that is what I used to play with, super heavy. Don’t worry about my weight compared to yours. If it feels good for you, keep it that way!
Great review! A follow up video with some adjustments on the racket would be cool.
I have the same issues with WHITE racquets. It seems to bother my concentration when I am about to hit the ball, is really annoying and I would never buy a white racquet. Unless someone can give me a nice free paint job
I agree with everything you said. I also don't really like white racquets as it stands out too much? also it reflects too much sunlight and it bothers me.
I am using the prostaff RF 97 V13, but I am having some elbow issues, my last raquet was a customized wilson blade kfactor, the weight was around 319gr and balance to the grip... Is this one a good change? or maybe the 315gr version or TF40, any thoughts?
The technifibres are foam filled so it should definitely help. Switched from a blade v7 to the TF40 305 and felt much better re: elbow issues
I wish they made this in a 16x19
there is something abbout WHITE racquets that I really love :)
Tecnifibe manufactures great raccquets (all white now :))
Putting weight on the handle of this racquet really balanced out the serve and volley handling for me. I think 10 grams under my grip is what I did. Would love to see how you modify yours!
Replacing the stock grip with a leather one, like he mentioned he was going to do, should add around 10 grams.
Did you add it as a ring of tape around the bottom of the pallet? Or did you add it in strips going lengthwise so it's more evenly weighted? I think the ring of tape at the bottom method would make it feel a lot more balanced with the hoop-heavy weighting.
@@asantesamuel13 It's pretty evenly distributed going lengthwise down the handle. What you're suggesting isn't something I've thought to try but may look into trying it to see if it makes a noticeable difference
Thought this aswell, love the racket but ordered a leather grip and hoping that sorts it, if not I’ll put some lead in the handle
@@darkjedi60 Mine came in super head heavy for some reason, and had to use a leather grip to make it balance like it was shown in the video...
All
get rustoleum matt black high heat spray paint. i spray all my rackets matt black. its just the best
Does the paint add any weight? Just curious
Just one word of caution.. the grip shape is very rectangular and when I tried a technifiber it felt very weird, not my cup of tea.
Ok for a One Handed backhand?
Very much so
@@KaruesellHQ Thanks K
Joe Salisbury #1 doubles player uses it w 1hbh
Would be interesting to put your ISO in an RDC machine and measure its actual swingweight.
I don’t think Danny is actually using this frame
My excitement for this stick is growing…
Love your channel
Please explain the balance/swingweight combination that somehow equals great maneuverability! This all seems very weird.
I’d love to see you review this stick. I currently play with an Extreme Tour and just demoed this one. I like it better than the Extreme Tour.
@@joshuasun2719 I've got one on order, but the Tecnifibre distributor in Canada doesn't have them yet
@@TennCom It’s a little more powerful than the Extreme Tour and the ball gets in and out a little faster, which I like. It reminds me of a Pure Strike 18x20 with better feel, maneuverability and spin.
Idon't think Medvedev uses this racquet 😉
You can't switch to tecnifibre unless Giron switches too. This is the way...
Lynx Tour Grey ?
J'aime les rackets et les cordeés du Technifibre, et c'est pas car je suis français (ma famille est du Irelande) c'est les cosmetiques!
So difficult to take his oppinion since his level is so high ! Like most probably I wont be able to handle this stick for more than 1 set.😅😅😅
3:55 .
the handle is too small for two handed backhand imo
That Hair, Bro. 👨🏻🎤
Looking forward to your videos about the Yonex EZONE 98 Tour 2022.
Why did you stopped playing ATP's/Futures? your game is damn freaking awesome, you would have been in top 100 my man
😅

It's pretty hard to trust any review that has an affiliate link to buy the thing it's reviewing. Bad incentives, you know?
every single review on youtube on literally any product you can imagine has an affiliate link. It is literally the reason “product reviews” are even a thing..
I agree this is fairly universally true of tennis rackets, but not for example coffee or cooking equipment. It's not unheard of in those areas, but major channels like James Hoffmann and Kenji Lopez-Alt explicitly eschew affiliation with the products they mention, exactly because of the issues of trust and bad incentives.
Can you see how for clueless noobs like myself just trying to make head or tail of the situation, it would be hard to trust reviews that come with affiliate links, especially considering that they almost never mention flaws in any rackets ever?
if you remove the weird moustache please
