Baseline

From the baseline, the Tecnifibre T-Fight 300 Dynacore feels very solid and offers nice ball control. Although the ideal sweet spot is a bit small, the racquet offers a lot of stability and control. For players who can generate enough speed in their strokes themselves, this is an excellent choice. Compared to my previous racquet, the Head Graphene Radical MP , the T-Fight 300 Dynacore offers a more robust playing feel, but with less free power. However, the open 16/19 stringing pattern makes it easy to generate spin and slice.

Service

With the serve, the T-Fight 300 Dynacore offers a lot of feeling and control, especially when placing your strokes. The racket provides sufficient grip on the ball through the 16/19 stringing pattern, which makes slice and kick serves easier. Although the speed of my serves is lower than with my current Prince Textreme Warrior 107 , that makes sense for a control racket like this.

Net game

At the net, the T-Fight 300 Dynacore is perhaps at its best. Although the balance point is not extremely low (32.0 cm), the racket still feels fast and agile on volleys. It is easy to maneuver and feels very stable on impact, which makes hard balls easy to parry. Volleys based on feel can also be placed accurately and in a controlled manner.

Power

The Tecnifibre T-Fight 300 Dynacore is clearly more focused on control than power. Players looking for free power might be better off with the T-Flash series from Tecnifibre. That doesn't mean there's no power in this blade; when you hit the ball right in the middle of the blade, you can definitely accelerate in a controlled manner.

Control

The control of the T-Fight 300 Dynacore is excellent. Even with off-center hits the frame remains stable, probably thanks to the Dynacore technology . The frame hardly twists, which ensures a solid and reliable playing feel.

Comfort / Arm friendliness

In terms of comfort, the T-Fight 300 Dynacore scores well for a control racket. The racket has a dampening feel and transmits little impact to the arm. Although it is not the most arm-friendly racket, the comfort is certainly good, especially in combination with the right stringing (such as the Tecnifibre Pro Red Code Wax 16 ). My choice of 23/22 kg worked well to make the racket comfortable to play as well, and I recommend not to string polyester strings too tight to promote arm-friendliness.

General Impression

The Tecnifibre T-Fight 300 Dynacore is a solid control-oriented racket with great stability and ball feel. Players will have to put the speed into their strokes themselves, but in return they get excellent ball control. For players who prefer a bit more power, a racket like the T-Flash series might be a better fit. Nevertheless, the T-Fight 300 Dynacore is perfect for an ambitious junior player who wants to improve his game, or for a player who is looking for a medium-heavy control racket.

At the net this racket is absolutely top notch; it offers a nice mix of control, maneuverability and stability, making it ideal for attacking players who often go to the net.
