Tecnifibre Curva Club Padel Racket

A versatile teardrop shape provides a good balance between power and control, so you can outplay your opponent in any situation, whether you’re aggressively sprinting in to the net looking for a winner or focusing on staying defensively solid. The Soft foam Core combines with a forgiving carbon-fibreglass face to dampen vibrations and prevent elbow and arm discomfort, and provide enhanced responsiveness.

Since their formation in 1979, French brand Tecnifibre have lived up to their name, remaining at the forefront of tennis tech and producing some of the most innovative products on the market.

It’s a good example of the company ethos of putting the player first, especially those who are just starting out. That’s always been the thinking of founder Thierry Maissant, who young players can thank for the specifically sized and weighted junior frames that are now commonplace. Frustrated by his own experiences as a junior, having had to play with rackets that were too long and too heavy, he began his business by commissioning some shorter, lighter frames, selling them under the moniker of Major Sports in the late 70s. Major Sports then secured a partnership with the French Tennis Federation to produce rackets for their new mini tennis programme, and the Tecnifibre brand was born.

Tecnifibre is a recognized brand in the world of tennis and padel for offering high-performance products developed with technological precision. Their commitment is to unleash players’ potential through innovative and functional designs.

Medvedev still uses a Tecnifibre racket, of course. He wields the control-focused T-Fight, as does fellow champion Iga Swiatek. There’s also the all-rounder’s TF40, the arm-friendly yet powerful TF-X1, the female-specific Tempo, and the accessible T-FIT collection, which brings top-notch performance to casual players. A true tennis brand with players at its core, you can’t go wrong with Tecnifibre.
