Tecnifibre Suprem 130 Reviews

I had a chance to hit with the Tecnifibre Suprem 130 the other day. I really enjoyed this racket. It’s light (130 grams) and, according to the specs, just a teeeeeeensy bit head light (34.5 cm), but it felt like an even balance.

I got a very nice feel on the ball with this racket. It felt very solid and stable, without being heavy.

I compared it to my Dunlop Pro GTS, which has a similar head shape and weight. The Tecnifibre was a touch heavier in the head, and just felt more “dense”. In other words the Dunlop felt like it had more flexibility in the shaft and was maybe more appropriate for quick, wristy shots, while the Tecnifibre Suprem 130 encouraged a smooth swing with solid contact.

All things considered I really like this racket.

Here’s what Paul “Suprem” Hargrave had to say about this racket (and how it compares to the other 2014 Tecnifibre rackets). He classes this as a “control” racket and I agree with him:

    I loved my Tecnifibre NG 130. I went to demo the Tecnifibre Suprem 130 hoping I would get the same experience, but was disappointed. I just felt the feel and power wasn’t the same. Anyone else experience this?

      Agree with you on this. After having gone through so many NG130’s I thought I’d try the suprem 130 and was quite disappointed. The power was lacking and the feel just seemed to spongy, only real way I can describe it! The racket too didn’t feel anywhere near as stiff as the old NG130 which is something I really like. If you are looking for something as a replacement, I changed to the Eye X Lite Pro 110 Control, and haven’t looked back!

        Thanks for your feedback JLB!! I thought there might have been something wrong with the demo I tried, but I’m glad I’m not the only one with this experience.

      NG130 is all control the 125 is loads of power with some control…. I have used both and still have the 130 for doubles. The 125 had to much power for my game. Went back to a Harrow.
      Enjoy the game!

      Hi Michael,

      I’ve never used the 135.

      Between the other two, I think the 130 would be best for a controlled power game. It’s a bit stiffer and very stable.

      The 125 is a little lighter and more flexible. It’s still got power but I think this one would be best if you prefer a fast-paced attacking game.

    Hey Pierre, I note from your previous posts that you use the Dunlop Pro GTS – I do as well.

    I really like the racket. However I’m considering something similar that might give me just a little more power on the ball – I’m already running quite a low tension: 25lbs on the GTS but wouldn’t mind putting in maybe a little less effort, its marginal but something I’m considering.

    (Since I’m not set on strings or tension just yet I’mc considering dropping tension further by a few lbs).

    I like the more classic shape of the GTS and the Suprem’s and the feel that shape gives, my question is:

    Do you feel any of the Technifibre Suprem range might tick the power box for me?

    As always grateful for your feedback.

      Hi Henry, I do think the Suprem 125 would be interesting for you to try. It’s similar to the GTS 130 but a little head heavier, which should encourage you to set up earlier and take a full swing through the shot, and get more power in the process. At the expense, maybe, of some ability to hit quick wristy shots.

      Another one you might want to try out is the Dunlop Elite GTS. I just did a review of it and found it’s similar to the Pro GTS but I felt the Elite has a bit more power.

        Thanks Pierre, thats a good tip. I’ll check the Dunlop out before jumping brands.

      Henry try the new Tecnifibre Dnamx and try dropping it down to 20 or like Gautier 16. I Have gone from racquet to racquet trying to find the right balance between power and control. Prince, Harrow, Head, Dunlop…even tried a bunch of different strings. Then started playing around with tensions and an old favorite Tecnifibre NG130 strung with Dnamx at 16 and well seems to be a great combination breathing new life in an old favorite. Enjoy the game!
