Introducing the TF-X1 285! Rising intermediate players looking to turn up the heat will appreciate this racquet's power. Compared to the TF-X1 300, this racquet is a tad lighter and faster, making it easier for improving players to generate the stroke speed required for effective pace and spin. Technologies include Tecnifibre’s IsoFlex System which utilizes grooves in the racquet’s bumper to create a more consistent playing string bed. To help with comfort, the TF-X1 features an updated version of the dampening system developed by Rene Lacoste.  It's called X-Damp, and it combines a steel mass with elastomer supports to filter out harsh vibrations. On groundstrokes, the TF-X1 285 feels crisp, comfortable and powerful. Spin comes very easy, and the light weight makes it great for hitting shots on the run. The speed continues at net where this stick comes around with lightning speed to deliver easy targeting. Ultimately, this is simply a great option for the rising intermediate player who wants to ratchet up the pace and spin.
