Product Notes
This is part of the Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed range. It replaces the Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 S, which has been one of the most popular rackets of the last 3 years.
I believe this is rolling out worldwide in March 2018.
The other rackets in the new range are:
- Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed 125 NS. This is a signature cosmetic for Nour El Sherbini, hence the “NS” in the name. It also has a smaller grip.
- Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed 130
- Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed 135
- Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed Storm

If I shave off the bumper like Mohammed, will I break the racquet faster than if I don’t?
Kevin says

Yes, although Tecnifibre rackets are generally very durable to begin with so I don’t think it will become too fragile without a bumper.

If I get this racket do I need to restring it and if so which one would you recommend for this racket to make it better
Pierre says

Tecnifibre has good factory strings, you can use those. If you get it restrung you can use Tecnifibre again if you liked it, or try any other squash string

Looks like they’ve done away with the removable bumper design, which I think is a positive. I don’t know anyone who removed the bumper for play. The design made the bumper more prone to having chunks break and peel off, which made the head lighter and changed the balance.

I played with removed bumper 😛 preferred the lighter weight. Racket head speed increased tremendously…
It think it’s a pidy you can’t remove it on the x-speed. shorbagy plays without bumper…

Hi Pierre,
The Tecnifibre website says that the NS has a thinner grip; looks like it is aimed at women.
