Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed Range

13 Comments

Tecnifibre introduced their “Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed” range in January 2018 around the Tournament of Champions. It includes updated versions of their mega-popular Carboflex range of rackets.

  • Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed 125
  • Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed 125 NS
  • Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed 130
  • Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed 135
  • Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed Storm

Here’s a trailer from Tecnifibre:

Here’s an overview from Paul at PDH Sports:

There was a Tecnifibre launch party for the new range:

Shorbagy was using the X-Speed 125 at the 2018 TOC:

Meanwhile Tecnifibre just announced that they’ve signed Marwan El Shorbagy:

Tecnifibre told me Marwan will be playing with the X-Speed 130 and Tecnifibre 305 string.

Here is Marwan at the 2018 Tournament of Champions — but this looks like his brother’s racket (except for the strings), as opposed to the one from the promo photo:

Nour El Sherbini will be playing with a model called the X-Speed 125 NS:

The “NS” being short for Nour Sherbini. As Paul mentions in the video above, aside from a different cosmetic, this racket also has a smaller grip than the regular X-Speed 125.

Here’s a shot of Nour using the new frame at the TOC:

There will also be X-Speed 135 and X-Speed Storm frames.

    Hi Pierre
    El shorbaggy will be using the 125gram x speed and el sherbini will be using the 130gram x speed ns. Her racket also has a thinner handle
    Both rackets have cosmetics to match the colors of the French flag.
    Regards Andrew

        On top of that Shebini looks to be playing with a similar racket that is all blue but with a red and blue stripe

      It’s the 125 S / 130 S that are getting an update, but I might have the new name wrong. Will have to wait and see 🙂
