Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 Review

The Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 Basaltex Multiaxial was noted to have first appeared in 2013, and it
became quite popular amongst the pros, club, and intermediate players very quickly. It is merely
one of the best squash racquets to have ever been made. I should also bring to your attention that
it is also the racket of choice for the World No.1 in the person of Mohamed El Shorbagy. This
makes it pretty more relaxed, right?

So why then did it become so popular? It became popular mainly because it offers a great combo
of manoeuvrability, power, and durability as well. The frame is designed to be very light, and
thanks to the long main strings and large head, it offers prospective players the chance to enjoy
tremendous power. With that low weight, you could quickly hammer almost every shot you take
during long rallies.

Mohammed El Shorbagy has commented on the Carboflex, and he says that he loves the new
Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 because the colour has been made completely different from the former
racquet. He also commented that the head is designed to be a bit lighter as well, which allows him
to enjoy more speed when he decides at a point in a game that he wants to volley more. This could
also be an essential advantage when he needs to play at a faster pace.
Technical Descriptions
The Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 Squash racquet is just as what you would expect a 125-gram racquet
to be. It comes with a balance point of about 350mm, which is head heavy. For the players who
are familiar with or used to the Carboflex line, they would find that it is less head massive than
either the 130 or 140.
It also has a sizeable 500cm2 teardrop head, that’s average when you consider other racquets out
there. The long main strings and large head by design offer it a large sweet spot and also tons of
power. The racquet comes with the Tecnifibre’s 305+ 1.20mm premium string from Tecnifibre. It
is an incredibly powerful racquet because of how light it is.
Its long main strings and balance come to play an essential role in this. There was no problem with
bringing the ball to the back of the court by using this racquet. I realized that as a player, you could
produce incredible power even by using a good hold and snapping through the ball that way. All
the features mentioned above are due to its overall light weight and balance that is also close to
being even.
In my opinion, the balance seems to be pretty close to being the ideal one for the weight this racquet
has. There was enough weight in the head to make the racquet go through the swing in a sleek
manner. It also allows you to quickly snap the racquet to the ball and create a perfect pace.

Features and Benefits- Tecnifibre Carboflex 125
Most of the specs in this review apply to both the original version and the new version of the
racquet (x-speed range). Apart from the colour, the differences between these racquets are so little
that advanced level Squash players would probably be the only ones to notice. There are quite a
lot of things that you can expect to get from the racquet, and they include:
Tecnifibre Maneuverability
It is quite straightforward and easy to manoeuvre getting up to volley, between switching sides,
making overhead shots and other shots that require the services of a quick racquet speed. Almost
any and every player at any level would appreciate the quality this racquet boasts of.
Tecnifibre Power
You should be able to produce decent pace and speed with this racquet, which is probably because
it has been strung to lower tension. You can make adjustments when needed. When you need to
produce incredible power using this racquet, you should probably hold it in a good position and
snap the ball. I sincerely did not have a hard time getting the ball onto the back of the court with
the aid of the racquet. It was very straightforward in the end.
Tecnifibre Control
You can be sure that you would enjoy a superb accuracy when moving the ball from midcourt.
The racquet comes with a dense string pattern which helps you to add cutting to the ball. This is
majorly one of the reasons why I decided to go for this racquet.
Tecnifibre Grip
The racquet has a dry squash grip that has a fresh design and also tacky with the famous
Technifibre branding. The grip comes with a great feel and should last for many plays if you treat
it well on the court and off it as well.
Tecnifibre Construction
The racquet is designed with graphite as its principal constituent, and it has a multi-directional
weave which reduces shock and serves as an enhancement to the feel.
Conclusion
Without an iota of doubt, you would enjoy the perfect balance this racquet boasts of and the cool
swing which is facilitated by its head weight. You might observe that there is a little vibration on
off-centre hits, although this would not be pronounced.
Of course, you should know that this Technifibre Carboflex 125 review we carried out does not
precisely touch on all the aspects of the racquet. I would advise you to probably go out and check
it out for yourself to observe how well it suits you.
In summary, the superb manoeuvrability and power make this racket useful for different levels of
players. For instance, players who prefer to volley would love the power, energy, and drive that
this racquet can offer. And then before I forget, the additional durability is sweet icing on the
already decorated cake.
Please, do not forget to carry out thorough and comprehensive research before finally going for
any racquet of your choice.
