Tecnifibre Slash Squash Rackets (2023 and 2025 models)

The Tecnifibre Slash range launched in 2023, forming Tecnifibre’s suite of traditional-head-shape rackets (as opposed to the Carboflex line of teardrops). They replaced the Tecnifibre Suprem Curv rackets from 2019. This is the model used by World #1 and World Champ Mostafa Asal.

In 2025, Tecnifibre refreshed the lineup. Aside from a cosmetic upgrade and some slight changes to the naming convention of the rackets, Tecnifibre has also added their “X-Top” technology to the Slash models, which removes the bumber guard in favor of a reinforced top of the frame.

2025 Tecnifibre Slash Models

• Slash 120 Control ← Asal’s current racket
• Slash 120 Power
• Slash 130 Power
• Slash 135 Power

The marquee model is now called the Slash 120 Control, and it replaces the Slash 120 from 2023. World number one Mostafa Asal just used the Control to win his second consecutive World Championship title in Giza, Egypt. As before, this has a slightly smaller 460 cm² head size compared to the other Slash rackets.

The rackets with the larger heads size (485 cm²) are now referred to as the “Power” models. I think that’s a smart, subtle rebranding — now the Control model is the smaller head size, and Power models all have a larger head size.

Tecnifibre Slash 120 Power

I’m viewing this as the replacement for the Slash 125. The new 2025 model has 5 grams less advertised weight, but it’s basically the same frame shape and concept as the previous Slash 125.

2023 Models

The original 2023 models are still listed below and are worth considering if you find them at a discounted price.

There were four rackets in this release:

• Slash 120
• Slash 125
• Slash 130
• Slash 135

They all look pretty similar. Obviously they’re all different advertised weights for starters. The main difference aside from the weights is the Slash 120 has a bit smaller head shape (460 cm sq) than the other models (485 qs cm). Here’s a comparison of the 120 vs the 125. They actually have the same stringing pattern (14×18) but you can see the 120 on the left has a smaller string bed:

One other difference is in the strings. The Slash 130 comes factory strung with a cheaper string, synthetic gut. The other rackets do cost more but all come with a premium string, Tecnifibre 305 Green.
