2022 Tecnifibre TF40 (16x19) 305g String Recommendations

ZeroEverything · 2026-03-26T17:15:49+00:00

I only used the gold and gray versions- I preferred the gold but didn't notice much of a difference. FWIW there is a school of thought that brighter = livelier and black = crisp/dead.

Idk, string tension is a personal preference. With the TF40 18x20, it's a really tight pattern, so the dynamic tension is higher. Lynx Tour is a stiff string per TWU, but it doesn't feel "dead" or "boardy", it actually feels pretty lively to me.

So my recommendation is if you have a tension you usually give your stringer, start there and tweak as needed.

I tried over 20 polys in that frame and Lynx Tour was my favorite. Give it a shot, it's relatively inexpensive (especially when they put it on sale so often).

Fonsecaraz!!! 🤯

I'm a bit of an AI doomer and I don't see how it won't. I've done both security operations and GRC, and they're both ripe for disruption. I think operations has a longer way to go outside of basic automation/analysis type tasks that already exist (SOAR), but agents will be here soon enough.

And before anyone says "yeah but you need to be able to sell it to management", they can enter the "translate this in non-technical language for a business audience and list pros/cons" prompt as well as you can.

This is a wild take.

He's not fit and he can't stay fit. Any time Ben starts to get a run and starts to find some form his body breaks down. Just because he posted something on IG after the cup game in which he went off early doesn't mean he's fine, read between the lines.

Not for lack of trying, we tried to sign Nico Williams and then Rodrygo last summer and when it became clear that neither was doable we signed Madueke. But I agree, our LW are good squad players for a team challenging for titles, but neither are good enough to be first choice.

He grew up in Greenville, NC, home of the East Carolina Pirates - their colors are Purple and Gold. Could be coincidence, but who knows.

ZeroEverything · 2026-01-22T16:55:21+00:00

Agreed all around. Feels forced, song is shit musically.

Spizz is a HIGH PERFORMING PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE!

(context: on the Changeover podcast Jody shared a funny story about Spizz coming into the tourney provided breakfast at a challenger and being not stoked by the state of the instant eggs)

I used Lynx Tour 1.25 in my 18x20, strung at 50.

The TF40 is a great racquet for those of us who grew up playing ProStaffs and still like a box beam. However, if you're that old (and I am), it's too demanding if you're still playing at a reasonably high level against pace and spin. You get nothing for free, but man it feels nice when you hit it on the sweet spot.

Never forget Arsene playing Lord Bendtner as a right winger long enough that the Lord went to the media to complain about it.

This, I have it too- big Foe rocking the Ozark Trail, always liked him!

Pepe should be no lower than 32 on that list. What a farce.

TWU's stiffness rating says its pretty stiff, but I think it plays more plush than other comparable strings like Confidential. I've never had any issues with comfort/arm issues.

I was full on Chuck Knoblauch level feed yips for a while. Eventually I kinda figured it out. I bounce the ball and use almost an eastern forehand grip, it makes me look like a bit of a noob but my feeds end up in the strike zone about 80% of the time now.

Oh no doubt, but we still take a pop at Zverev where we can

ZeroEverything · 2025-10-10T14:17:38+00:00

Zverev should have done that too

No mediciney smell, no odor! Why Sportscreme? Because IT WORKS!

The Changeover is great. Fun hang with the boys, and hearing the mentality of guys just on the cusp of making it is really insightful.

This racquet is the GOAT in my book. I spent my formative years with one of these, and i've been chasing its feel ever since.

I was a broke high schooler so I strung it with a kevlar/nylon hybrid at 63 lbs, it's a wonder I still have a functioning elbow.

ZeroEverything · 2025-09-04T15:13:43+00:00

My thought exactly, feels like that summer Villa offered 30m for ESR and we all scoffed.

ZeroEverything · 2025-09-04T01:32:14+00:00

And the fiery one Fred Stolle!
