Tecnifibre Slash 120 Control

Description

Designed for World Number One Mostafa Asal, the TECNIFIBRE SLASH 120 CONTROL retains all the fundamentals on which its success has been built, with two of its main criteria redesigned: more speed and more stability. 

Its weight remains 120 g, but its swing weight has been lowered to generate even more acceleration off the racquet head, with increased manoeuvrability for greater execution speed. 

Stabyl technology, a mesh fibre inserted into the shaft’s graphite, has replaced the rubber ring for all-around performance in the details, greater control and hitting stability.

The fundamentals of the frame construction remain in place, with YOKE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY affording control over shot power and hitting control: round 461 cm² head for accuracy and forgiveness, a wide open core with inner reinforcements for added stability on impact and a thin 261 mm² shaft for maximum control.

Pre-strung in 305 green, the benchmark for the squash market, and Tecnifibre’s most elastic string for the ultimate compromise between power and comfort.

The X-TOP revolution is also built in to the product. No bumper, 100% performance, a completely new racket head construction where the bumper has been replaced by a combination of active fibres for maximum strength, speed and playability. The plastic bumper has been replaced by a mix of aramid fibres, the most impact-resistant material, and a PTFE treatment to improve slide and protect the frame against abrasion from the floor or walls. Without the bumper, the racket becomes much smoother and penetrates the air better for maximum swing speed and power. With the plastic replaced by a select material, there are more fibres in the racket for greater responsiveness and less vibration for greater comfort.

From an aesthetic point of view, we’ve reached the pinnacle of elegance and modernity, with a white base elevated with Tecnifibre corporate elements and a graphic fluorescent green stringbed developed with Mostafa, who cut out the Tecnifibre logo. It symbolises his dynamic rise to World Number One!
