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 in order 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.
The Rebound range has a number of unique features to help improve these performance statistics. The first major difference is the Tempo System; a shortening of the racket by half an inch than a traditional tennis racket (26.5 inches rather than 27 inches). This greatly allows the player to increase their swing speed and provide much more manoeuvrability. Greater swing speed leads to more ball speed, more ball spin, and a more efficient point of ball contact for greater accuracy.
Also, the racket has a varied cross section beam, with certain areas of the racket frame cross section being wider to further meet the needs of the player for power and stability from the racket. Certain areas of the frame have a thinner cross section and are located at the head for a lighter more manoeuvrable balance, and also towards the handle to keep a good feel for the player.
As a result of these changes, TecniLab research shows that 88% of testers felt increased manoeuvrability. Players also registered +18% net clearance for more secure shots, up to 11km/h more ball speed and +7% spin to drive home those winning shots.
The Rebound range comes in 6 different weights – 285, 270, 255, 260, 265, 275 (in order of performance). The rackets with the smaller headsizes will offer more stability and precision, whilst the larger headsizes offer more power and tolerance. The 16x19 string pattern will offer more control, whilst the 14x18 pattern offers more power and spin.
The Rebound 270 and 260 come pre-strung in Tecnifibre TGV - a powerful, premium multifilament that has a high concentration of PU for maximum shock absorption and comfort. All other rackets are pre-strung in synthetic gut, apart from the 285 and 298 which come UNSTRUNG.
