Tecnifibre’s FIRE 305S and T-FIGHT 305S both list 305 g unstrung and a 98 in², 630 cm² head. The model-specific specifications checked on October 18, 2026 differ at the pattern: FIRE has 16×19, T-FIGHT 18×19. Both have nineteen crosses, while T-FIGHT adds two mains.
Treating the 305S name and head area as a complete match misses that configuration choice. Two additional mains provide a starting point for comparing the stringbeds. Central spacing also depends on each frame’s outline and hole layout, so record pattern and installed strings together in a demo note.
Tennis Warehouse’s selection guide links open patterns with a livelier response and denser patterns with less string movement when similar frames are compared at the same tension. Use that general account to ask about depth and net clearance on your normal shots, rather than turning it into predicted scores for these products.
FIRE 305S lists a 23–23–22.5 mm beam, 685 mm length and 315 mm balance. Its manufacturer describes X-DAMP as a steel component inside an elastomer pocket in the handle. T-FIGHT describes its RS Section and Isoflex frame designs. The two models combine pattern and construction differently within the same listed mass and area.
Plan the demo around a familiar string model and gauge, and first record the actual setup in both borrowed frames. Begin with comfortable crosscourt rally contacts, observing clearance and depth. Then add low defensive contacts and fast returns to see whether the same swing choices remain available with less preparation time.
If one frame has fresh strings and the other has been used extensively, string condition becomes part of the comparison. Match use history where possible; otherwise record the difference and request a more comparable setup. Establish those conditions before changing frame, gauge and tension together.
After purchase, give the stringer the complete name: FIRE 305S or T-FIGHT 305S, together with the pattern. Use instructions for that precise model. A useful final note states which shot became easier to place and which situation still caused late preparation, turning the shared 305 g label into a decision you can repeat on court.
