NEW L23 RACQUET: STYLE AND PERFORMANCE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

AFTER A YEAR OF DESIGN AND TESTING, MEET THE L23, OUR NEW TENNIS RACQUET.

WHEN "INNOVATION" MEETS "EMOTION"

Whether you are an intermediate or expert player, the L23 racquet is for you. By combining power and elegance, the latest addition to the Lacoste family, developed in collaboration with Tecnifibre, achieves a design feat that allows you to express all your unique qualities on the court. In tennis, the power of the crocodile style is also a lifestyle.

From graphite lay-up to molding, sanding, painting, and decorative application, this new racquet is the result of 60 years of expertise combined with boundless creativity.

Once you pick it up and feel its 300 grams, the power and the stability of exchanges are amplified - so is comfort, which is optimised by a rigid geometry, an easy-to-play string pattern, an anti-vibration frame, and a premium damping system.

With no technical differences, the L23 Light is lighter (275 grams).

LACOSTE, TENNIS EXPERTS FOR OVER 60 YEARS

René Lacoste made significant strides in the manufacturing techniques and performances of technical sports products. His ideas revolutionised the sport to which his name will forever be associated with: tennis. At the age of 15, the future champion who would go on to become an inventor was already optimising the handle of his personal racquet for a better grip.

In 1927, he patented a superstar machine, the ball launcher, and 1963 marked a major turning point: Lacoste introduced the LR07, the world's first metal racquet, which would change the course of global tennis history. Successes and models followed one another other up until 1988 when the Equijet arrived, a racquet with an innovative design that helped Guy Forget win the 1991 French Cup. RL12, L20... each new Lacoste tennis racquet pushes the boundaries of technicality and style.

The latest model has arrived: welcome to the L23, following in the footsteps of a brilliant mind...
