Squash racket Tecnifibre Carboflex NEO 130

Tecnifibre Carboflex NEO 130 – the strongest model in the NEO series for players who want more power, stability, and still quick maneuverability

Tecnifibre Carboflex NEO 130 is designed for players who want the characteristic speed and responsiveness of the Carboflex series, but place slightly more emphasis on power and stability on impact.

With a frame weight of 130 g, this is the heaviest and at the same time the most powerful model in the Carboflex NEO series. The extra mass creates more inertia in the swing, allowing the player to transfer more energy into the ball. This is especially useful for stronger drives, aggressive finishes, and mid-distance play, where a bit more mass helps maintain the racquet’s stability. Despite the 130 g frame, the Carboflex NEO 130 remains very maneuverable. The main reason is the new X-TOP NEO technology, which has reduced the amount of plastic in the top part of the head.

At the 12 o’clock position there are three separate eyes, showing a new construction from which approximately 2–3 g of plastic were removed. Less mass at the very top of the frame allows faster head acceleration and helps maintain agility even with a somewhat heavier model.

More power with the new HEART TECH construction

Mass saved from the upper part is redistributed toward the center of the racquet, where the new HEART TECH technology is located. The shaft is about 3% thicker and has a more rounded profile. The new shape improves the responsiveness of the structure and helps generate additional power. The combination of a 130 g frame and HEART TECH construction gives the NEO 130 model the most pronounced power potential in the entire series.

The head size of 500 cm² provides a good balance between power, stability, and tolerance.

X-TOP for more speed and protection

The Carboflex series also uses X-TOP technology, in which the traditional plastic bumper on the top of the head is replaced with active fibers. Aramid fibers are used, which increase impact resistance, and a PTFE treatment helps the frame slide on contact with the floor or wall and reduces wear. Since there are fewer plastic elements on top, the frame is smoother and more aerodynamic, further contributing to faster swing speed.

Extended String Hole for spin and tolerance

Carboflex NEO 130 also uses Extended String Hole technology. Twelve holes at the 3, 9, and 12 o’clock positions are enlarged, giving strings more room to move on contact with the ball.

This enables:

• more elasticity of the string bed,
• easier spin creation,
• better feel on impact,
• more tolerance on off-center hits.

The racquet is factory-tuned with Tecnifibre Dynamix VP, a responsive polyurethane multifilament string for squash.
