The TF40 ARTxTENNIS 305 Tennis Racquet brings the collaboration's full artistic vision to Tecnifibre's most acclaimed control frame. Each racquet is individually numbered, with only a limited quantity produced — a genuine collector's piece as ready to hang on your wall as it is to compete with on court. This is the same trusted TF40 305 16x19 performance players already love, wrapped in the capsule's signature pink and black color born from the collaboration between gallerist Tim Van Laere, artists Rinus Van de Velde and Friedrich Kunath, and ATP pro Reilly Opelka.
Underneath the artistry is a control-oriented 98 sq. in. head that delivers exceptional accuracy on groundstrokes and genuine touch at net. The unique 5-sided RS Sharp Beam enhances stability and control on every swing, while Dynacore XTC construction adds touch, dwell time, and ball-pocketing that spin players consistently praise. Foam-filled construction throughout the frame delivers an impressively dampened, solid feel at impact — arm-friendly enough that players managing elbow sensitivity report real relief after switching.
Real players consistently highlight the same qualities: exceptional maneuverability, a forgiving sweet spot that improves consistency over stiffer control frames, and the rare combination of control and spin without sacrificing feel. At 11.3 oz strung with a 3 pts headlight balance, it swings fast enough for aggressive net play while carrying the mass needed to drive through the court on groundstrokes.
Specs: 98 sq. in. | 320g strung / 11.3oz | 16x19 | 22mm beam | 3 pts HL | Individually numbered | Limited edition
Where art meets tennis. On your wall or in your bag.
What is TVLG ART x TENNIS? Born in 2020 from a shared passion for art and tennis, TVLG ART x TENNIS brings together ATP pro Reilly Opelka, gallerist Tim Van Laere, and artists Rinus Van de Velde and Friedrich Kunath — a collective united by their obsession with the game and its aesthetics. "We're completely lost in love with the game, the aesthetics, the players. We're tennis nerds," says Kunath.
This limited-edition capsule marks the collective's first-ever collaboration with Tecnifibre, reimagining the brand's iconic logo and typography through Rinus Van de Velde's distinctive artistic lens. More than a product release, it's an exploration of the emotional connection between performance, creativity, and self-expression — bringing gallery-level artistry to the court in a genuinely limited run.
