New L23 racket: style and performance at your fingertips

It's quite an event. After a year of design and testing, Lacoste unveils the L23, its new tennis racket.

———

When "innovation" meets "emotion"

Whether you are an intermediate or expert player, the L23 racket 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 racket is the result of 60 years of expertise combined with boundless creativity. Once you pick it up and feel its 300 grams/10.58 ounces, 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/9,70 ounces).

An immersive experience for a unique racket

The L23 was unveiled during an exceptional tennis match. With their eyes on the water and their feet on the court, four talented tennis players gathered at the stunning Cap Estel Hotel with its sweeping sea views. Under the expert and caring gaze of Stefan Bojic, a freestyle tennis player and Lacoste ambassador, the players discovered the L23 racket along with its matching bag in a unique dressing room. And expressed the full extent of their style in a venue so grand, with the L23 in hand.

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 assocuiated 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 racket 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 racket, which would change the course of global tennis history. Successes and models followed one another other up until 1988 when the Equijet arrived, a racket with an innovative design that helped Guy Forget win the 1991 French Cup. RL12, L20... each new Lacoste tennis racket pushes the boundaries of technicality and style. The latest model has arrived: welcome to the L23, following in the footsteps of a brilliant mind...
