Tecnifibre Slash 130 Squash Racket

The all-new Slash range by Tecnifibre for 2023. Developed with world number 1 (April 2023) Mostafa Asal to harness the powerful style of play.

The 130 has been engineered with an empathise on providing the player with an easily accessible high level of power. A bigger and longer 485cm2 head size (compared to 461cm2 for the 120 version) increases string elasticity, allowing the player to generate more power on each shot. Combined with an oversized shaft size of 390mm2 (versus 261mm2 for 120 version), an enlarged frame geometry cross-section, and with a smaller yoke area for more stiffness, it all comes together to provide a racket with high levels of easily accessible power and an enlarged sweet spot for easy of play.

Complete with the revolutionary X-Top technology, as featured on the hugely successful Carboflex range that was inspired by Mohamed El Shorbagy. A patented technology allows the removal of the bumper’s plastic inactive material at the top of the racket, instead utilising 100% active fibres. Aramid fibres (as used in bulletproof vests) are weaved within the graphite for maximum shock resistance, along with a PTFE (Teflon) treatment increasing the sliding effect on walls for maximum abrasion resistance. The new mix of materials provides even more resistance than a traditional bumper. The X-Top has been extended further to 4 and 7 o’clock on the Slash rackets for even more protection!

Unique to Tecnifibre rackets is that they come pre-strung in a premium Tecnifibre string. The Slash range is perfectly paired with 305, the string of choice for generations of the world’s top players. Featuring PU400 technology for a full saturation of polyurethane (PU) through the thousands of fibres inside for 400% elasticity. The result - explosive power, unrivalled comfort, and the highest levels of control.

The Slash range features an all-white design that is synonymous with Tecnifibre rackets with a bold, modern green reminiscent of its top selling predecessor the Suprem. Finished with a Tecnifibre Squash Feel Grip for a comfortable and tacky feel.
