women’s racket have always been the same, with female versions simply available in lighter weights and more feminine colours. However, thanks to Tecnifibre’s TecniLab research, the first women’s specific frame has been produced resulting in significant performance enhancement for all levels of women players.
Tecnifibre’s research showed that whilst 43% of tennis players are women, the current product offering was not well adapted to their needs. For the past 10 years, Tecnifibre has studied the characteristics of the female game to develop a perfectly adapted product. The research showed that the average woman has 12KG less muscle and is 50% weaker in the upper part of the body compared to the average man. As a result, the average female player produces 14% less ball speed, 25% less spin and 29% more unforced errors than the average male player.
