The first racket range developed exclusively for female players ! With TEMPO, Tecnifibre has made a small revolution in the world of tennis.
Laurent Blary, Products Manager at Tecnifibre explains to us in detail.
Why create a Woman-only racket range ?
It is all based on a simple fact : today, women, who account for 30% of the worldwide tennis population (50% in some markets), play with rackets designed for men. And everyone finds this normal.
If you think about it, it isn’t normal at all ! In other sports , such as golf or ski, material specifically adapted to the physiology of the player has been around for decades.
To put a stop to this inconsistency, we decided to develop this new TEMPO range.
Our mission is to propose the right product to the right person. TEMPO is just the realisation of this way of thinking for 50% of the population !Laurent BlaryProducts Manager
How is TEMPO adapted to women?
We wanted to work on the structure of the racket first, rather than the cosmetics. TEMPO takes into consideration the morphology (body shape) of the female player in order to propose the right, adapted material :
A racket which is shorter, for more manoueverability, with a similar weight and better balance to keep the power element.
What are the play test results of TEMPO on the court ?
We conducted tests with our Trackman (data uptake and analysis of players and their shots whilst playing) with numerous female players of all ages and were able to obtain significant results :
- 10% more ball rotation (spin)
- 33% more balls put into the court
- 88% of players felt that the racket was easier to play with
From now on, we need to let the tennis market know of the following strong message : we think that everyone should not play with the same racket ! A pro’s racket will not suit everyone.
Our mission is to propose the right product to the right person. TEMPO is just the realisation of this way of thinking for 50% of the population !
