Overview
Introducing the Tempo 298 IGA! With this racket, Tecnifibre partners with rising WTA phenom Iga Swiatek to deliver a great combination of speed, precision and spin. Weighted for intermediate players, the Tempo 298 is tad lighter than a typical modern player's racket, making it one of the speedier rackets in its class. It should also satisfy more advanced ball strikers who want easy acceleration or a platform for customization. Notable technologies include Dynacore XTC, a unique material that helps reduce harsh vibrations. Tecnifibre has also filled portions of the racket with foam to create a more solid and comfortable hitting experience. From the baseline, the Tempo 298 IGA offers a crisp and lively response with easy targeting on full swings. Like the best modern player's rackets, this stick accelerates with explosive speed, making it easier for you to generate pace and spin. Although not as heavy and stable as a traditional player's racket, the Tempo 298 IGA feels solid for its weight while also offering advanced players plenty of room for weight customization. At net, this racket comes around extremely fast, making it great on reaction volleys. The Tempo 298 IGA also shines on serve where you'll find enough spin and pop to put your opponent squarely on defense. Ultimately, with this light player's racket, Tecnifibre has produced an impressive weapon for a wide range of players and ability levels.

Comments: Fantastic frame - my favorite Tecnifibre stick. I'm a 5.0 male player and used to use the Technifibre XTC 320, but after they discontinued it I've been using the TF40 315, which is a great stick, but I always wished they made it in 16x19. Sometimes, it's a little tough to use on an off day, harder to generate spin and depth. I normally don't like to mess with frames that are sub-315 grams as I hate customizing, but this stick is really an unbelievable blend of control, spin and power, and such a solid feel for a lighter racquet. It's a pretty open 16x19, but it was not over-powered at all; I was surprised at the amount of control I got. I much preferred this racquet to the TFight 305 and 315 - the 305's have such a weird balance and the 315 was too powerful and a bit sluggish. This frame has that beautiful Tecnifibre feel, but is super quick to swing yet comes with a great blend of power, spin and control. I added a leather grip and a bit of lead in the throat and at 3 & 9 and now it's a total beast. Highly recommended.
