I have Serena’s Wilson HyperHammer. It’s really not a semi-automatic Babolat, you have to hit the sweet spot and swing all the way. Not the easiest to play but when you get it right, it’s a real killing machine.
I bought this racket, it's fantastic .Because of its hardness you can hit it much more accurately. I pulled it to 20kg (multi), it still hurts a bit if you play with it all day, but no injuries in 1-2 hours. The pop up high sound like old style racket really good ..a love it .I play better tennis with this like my TFight 300
I ordered a Technifibre to demo from TW. It came with the buggest grip Ive ever seen and syn gut strung at about 30 lbs. Used it for 10 minutes and sent it back. So if I use one again, better be different circumstances.
Technifibre racquets are not talked about enough. Love my T-Fight. I try not to overpower my Fiancée with it, haha, but sometimes it just hits too well. Great brand.
I think if people who use racquets in the Blade, Prestige, Extreme Tour, Radical, V Core, E Zone, etc. family, they would switch to a stick in the Tecnifibre family. I’ve used every stick out there in the last 7 years or so but never tried Tecnifibre until recently and I switched after one session with some Tecnifibre demos. They’re the best feeling racquets I’ve ever tried! More people need to get into this brand… I haven’t heard anybody really say once they tried the brand that they didn’t love it!
Hi mr tennis spin rsrsrsrs I have been struggling a lot lately to change racquets, I’m currently using an pure aero vs with 6 grams at 12 but i still feel that i need more control and feel. I love to hit on the trainings with an pretige inteligente but i feel that this frame is too much head light e a bit heavy to put weight on 12 which frame would you recommend me, i’ve been thinking about some: blade, Radical or speed i’m just no sure about the version or string pattern but I would like a frame with an lower RA then the pure aero vs By the way great videos that you make, I already saw almost every video so far, and I respect a lot the honesty of this channel. Say hello to Brasil and I wish you success
What would you string this with? I play with Babolat pure aero 2019 and stringing it with rpm blast 16 at 54 pounds. Could I use the same set up or would you modify it?
Normally, absolutely. High RA is bad for arm problems. But these new Tecnifibre’s have foam throughout the head and they feel so plush and soft. It almost doesn’t make sense but highly recommend you try! They feel more like a 63-65 RA IMO.
@@RigMaster_ each year 10-20 pros a year in the top 100 switch sticks or at least try out new ones. One player won’t switch every year of course, but overall quite a bit move around. Especially when there are contracts being offered or they’re looking for more of something they need in their game (power, spin, control, etc.)…
@@Mewborne89 idk where you're getting this information from. A new paint job doesn't automatically mean a different mould. A player can use the same mould with a different paint job.
Tecnifiber is a company to look out for, for sure. Better get these racquets while they're on the lower end of pricing vs other brands... aka.. Wilson... lol
Is it just a paint job from previous year? Look quite similar. Liked the first version a lot. And as someone commented does not feel like 71RA, really, but comfortable.
Café con leche is a Cuban style :) take it to the next level brother dip bread 🥖 into it and boy 🤤 This is coming from a Cuban 😆 the best! Okay back to tennis spin hehehehe
Interesting how you have to emphasize that the racket is for the serious player and not only for women, when actually Iga is one of the best female players in the world. She is one of my favorites to watch in the WTA and if she can handle her opponents with that stick, there is no way you should not be able to play with it at your lower level.
A world no 1 grand slam champion ATP player could use this stick. There's almost no such thing as an objectively bad stick nowadays (or a woman's only racket), from more notable brands anyway, so it's really about the player and what suits their own playstyle. A racket can be bad or good for an individual player. Any ATP player using a modern spin 98 on the men's tour could use something like this. If Alcaraz changed sponsor to Tecnifibre, he'd probably be using a version of this. Not in stock specs, but the same goes for his pure aero vs. the base spec is just a platform for high level players anyway.
Well, those rackets what players are using, are really custom-made for them. Of course, like my Serena’s HyperHammer has large frame but rather small sweet spot and swing index is high, so it’s really not easy to play with. As I commented somewhere above, when you get it right, it’s real killer.
He's doing what he has to do, repping a good racquet and telling men they don't have to wield a heavy club to be a man. Men think they should be swinging the RF97A or they're not playing "real" tennis.
@@anthonymacaluso2671 I think you're right. As I learnt recently the 'Tempo 298 IGA' apparently is the same racquet as the 'T-Rebound 298 IGA' and so it's just a new name and a new paint job. Now if they'd only make it a little less white. . .
I m male and I bought this racket and play with it for 40mins. I had to sell it because it feels just so so extremely stiff to me. Grey Alu power 16G @50lbs. Not for me as my elbow and shoulder are sensitive.
I find it very strange men would turn away at this racket, Iga hits the fastest backhands in the French open on both men & women, are rec men really under the impression theyre hitting harder than her?
Just bought a iga racket as a guy! Proud to play with IGA Stick
take a drink for every video where andrew gu says "honestly"
Now she is the number 1 in the WTA so you were close with your call!! 👏🏼👏🏼

iga tempo

Would you happen to know the string tension range that she uses? That’s definitely an awesome racket! She’s now number 1! 😊

Good anticipation from tecnifibre considering Iga is now on a forty match win streak and the most dominant number 1 since Serena lol
We just got these in our store!!!
You ship online?

HI! Different between T-REBOUND tempo 298 (2021) and this TEMPO 298 (2022) ? just the paint job ? thx for help
New stick/New paint
just the paint
You like it cause it’s 71 RA yet you play with a clash?
They seriously don’t feel like 71, more like 63-65 with the foam in the head. Really takes any harsh feeling away. Super plush.
Sounds like it might aggravate a tender elbow being stiffer and more weight to the head.
i play a 295g Pure Storm....seems kinda similar....
I keep looking for something similar?.. To iga 298g?.any recomendiation? Every single racket i had im coming back to iga but looks to girly
what string did you use for it? and the tension?

I use the Pure Aero with 5g at 3 and 5g at 9, and 12g at the handle. Power, control and feel. Weight at 3 and 9 gives me a lot of stability.
Hi Harry what the spec on this stick
What would you string this with? I play with Babolat pure aero 2019 and stringing it with rpm blast 16 at 54 pounds. Could I use the same set up or would you modify it?
Is RA 71 too high and might hurt elbow/arm?

I use 72 RA but play with multi at very low tension
@@dunsdonjone1537 dont use multi at low tension
@@smashthestateX very interesting how you think you can tell people what to do
when is Chris switching to this one ?
good players don't switch sticks.

"it's nice racquet".... what a shock.
Tecnifiber tf40 305 is such a nice stick to hit with .. it was so hard to choose between that and the yonex vcore pro 97 . 😭😭😭😭😭
Tecnifiber is a company to look out for, for sure. Better get these racquets while they're on the lower end of pricing vs other brands... aka.. Wilson... lol
We’re in the same exact position here lol my favourite two racquets are the tecnifinre t fight series and yonex vcore pro
I ended up going for the vcore Tho because it was easier to find
Well why dint you tell me that it's better than the new blade I just bought earlier.
Is it just a paint job from previous year? Look quite similar. Liked the first version a lot. And as someone commented does not feel like 71RA, really, but comfortable.
It’s the foam in the racquet I think that helps a ton with the high RA. Makes it seems more like a 65 or so.
Yes. Have been hitting one four 4 months. TW seems to say this new one is the same as the previous one.

@@tenniseric888380% of those ‘Rec Players’ also suck and suffer.
What I wanted to hear is how does this one differ from the first IGA (the T-Rebound 298 Iga) , or is it just a new paintjob ?
TW states that it’s just a cosmetic update and has the same customer reviews as they had from the original.

You have to look at the stiffness RA number. Any racquet above 64 can hurt sensitive arms. This one should have been a non-starter for you at 71RA.
Simple. lower the tension.
@@miguelbarahona6636 You are right stiff strings like that should be strung in the 40s for people with hurting arms
@@krishnancom recently i used yonex ezone 100 2022 the RA above 64 but it was pretty comfort on my arm and i also had arm issues
@@andreaprastomo1711 good to know. Yonex does a good job of dampening vibrations.
she's no.1 now
I find it very strange men would turn away at this racket, Iga hits the fastest backhands in the French open on both men & women, are rec men really under the impression theyre hitting harder than her?
‘Rec men’ are irrelevant… too opinionated, and all talk. Any recreational male on the planet wishes they had the finesse as Iga.
This is no pro stock. Iga says that much in a promotional video for the Tempo 298.
1
Tempo 298 +- 10 g 😂😂😂
no blade should be gender specific unless it's painted hot pink :)
You could at least research how to pronounce Iga's name correctly!
LOL, like most males are up there with WTA greats
