Tecnifibre Tempo Team 2026 (270g) Tennis Racket

The Tempo Team 2026, the balance between lightness and substance

The Tecnifibre Tempo Team 2026 weighs 270 g, placing it in the lightweight category without going ultralight. It comes strung, with a 660 cm² head and a 16x19 string pattern, on a carbon composite frame. White and blue, in L1 and L2 grip sizes.

The 15 g that separate it from the Tempo L

The Tempo Team shares the head size, string pattern and material of the Tempo L. The only difference is weight: 270 g against 255 g. That gap looks small but it matters, because it shifts the balance. A 255 g frame swings faster but gets pushed back more at impact. At 270 g, the racket stays very manoeuvrable while holding up better against a fast ball. It is the weight we recommend to a player past the learning stage who is starting to play real rallies.

The specifications

• 270 g unstrung: the lightweight category, between 260 and 279 g.
• 660 cm² head: a generous face, widening the effective hitting zone and forgiving off-centre contact.
• 16x19 string pattern: the versatile reference layout, letting spin through without sacrificing control.
• Carbon composite frame: more responsive and more precise in feel than an aluminium frame.
• Supplied strung: ready to play on arrival.
• Two grip sizes: L1 and L2.

The Extreme Tennis team's take

This is the middle model in the Tempo range, and often the right default. The Tempo L suits you better coming off a junior racket or looking after your elbow; the heavier Tempo Tour is for the player stringing matches together who needs mass to absorb pace. Between the two, the Team offers the widest compromise: light enough to stay quick in defence and at the net, substantial enough not to be overpowered by an opponent who hits. If you are hesitating within the range without a clear priority, start here.
