I believe this is a 2014 racket from Tecnifibre. It looks very similar to the Tecnifibre Suprem 130, but according to the published specs, this one is 5 grams heavier, and has a larger head.
I think this Suprem 135 might be the successor to the Tecnifibre Suprem Calibur 135, an older model.
I haven’t tried this puppy. If you’ve used it, please leave a comment!

Hey Pierre. I’m playing with this racquet now (the 135) and I’m happy with it — forgiving but good feel, at least for my level game. Size / balance is perfect for me. A keeper.

Hi Pierre,
I took this racquet out for a spin a little while ago and it’s my favourite of the Suprem series. Great access to power because of the larger head size and weight but the head light balance really makes it an easy racquet to swing. One that I would really consider switching to from my current racquet (Ion Storm XT).

Hi Pierre,
Have you had the opportunity to hit with this one ?!
I will try it in a few day at my club here in Lisbon. I want to change from my Head Neon 130 because of the extra head weight (the balance is at 37 and that is too much for my arm and I tend to loose some control after a few games..)
I’ve hit with the Calibur 135 (as you said, probably the previous model for this one) and I think that even those extra 5gr. go completely away with the extra stiffness and the more head light/even balance of the Tecnifibre.
I’ve also tried the Dunlop Ultimate and the Pro GTS, and in my opinion, the ultimate felt loose on the hand, with no stiffness at all (it generates a lot of vibrations…) and the GTS, while it gave me a better feel, it lacks a bit of “punch” in the hits.
Anyway, it’s the eternal search for the perfect racket… it will never end.. 🙂
Regards from Portugal

Hi Miguel I don’t think I ever got a chance to hit with this one… I would like to give it a try, as I tend to like rackets with these types of characteristics. If you get a chance to try it, let us know how you like it!

Hi,
I finally had a go with this one and it’s what I expected !! my impressions were right, it’s more stiff that the Calibur, more power than the Dunlop Pro (because I guess of the extra weight and the larger head size) and, comparing to my Head Neon 130, I feel more controle of the recket probably because of the lighter head (the balance point is at 355 vs 370 in the Head).
At the same time, I also tryed the new Carboflex 135 S, the that was the reason why I didn’t move to the Suprem right away…
Now I’m wondering about the 125….. and if I continue like this, I will never get a new racket !! LOL
oh well… at least I keep on playing and enjoy the game alot !! 🙂
Best regards,
Miguel
