You'll see the Head Tennis headquarters in Austria, they are at the top of the industry in racquet technology and innovation. I recommended the Head Liquidmetal 4 to all of you. A very reasonably priced and HQ racquet. Now you'll get to see how its made.
I feel Prince is also a leader in the industry. Their design HQ's is in Bordentown, NJ, near the turnpike entrance. The name 'Prince' comes from Princeton, New Jersey. Which is right next to Bordentown, no more than 25 miles from our tennis courts.
Enjoy both videos as I was thrilled to see this new news show on CNN about tennis and then offer it here on the blog. This tells me tennis is gaining in popularity, as CNN has not had a show on it before.
Remember tennis has been greatly affected, therein advanced and evolved in all aspects, via technological innovation. This push has happened over the last 40 years and is surely at a speed more than other sports. Your parents may remember the wood racquet, that was used for 70 + years. I remember the wood racquets a bit, but more the aluminum Prince Pro, which I started on.
Pay attention to the stringing video and listen to the commentary about tension. I'll go over this sometime on monday. What does tension mean to you and look on your racquet handle and find the tension range on it.
We'll have practice tomorrow from 3-515 for varsity only. I hope all the juniors had a great time at their prom and everyone got home safe and sound.
