Alrighty, Tecnifibre is launching the Tecnifibre Slash range of rackets in 2023. This is their suite of traditional-head-shape rackets (as opposed to the Carboflex line of teradrops). These replace the Tecnifibre Suprem Curv rackets from 2019.
There are four rackets in this release:
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.

I got the 120 slash. It’s different to the curv 125. Better feedback through the frame , more powerful and quicker through the air.
Definitely an improvement.

Keen on trying these rackets…but does anyone know how stiff these rackets are?
I have the curv 130s and there’s way too much head movement for me…

I imagine the Slash is similar to the Curv. Except the Slash 120 has the smaller head so it’ll wobble less
