New Product: Tourna Grip II

Earlier this year Unique Sports products was victorious in a lawsuit in which they successfully defended their trademarked color of overgrip. While the color is the same, the overgrip is new. For years the standard by which overgrips have been measured is the classic version of Tournagrip. While it remains an outstanding product that many […]

Professionalism & Personal Care – Service You Can Trust!

We are not the least expensive in town, but our pricing is generally lower than the specialty retailers and is definitely not out of line given the overall quality of personal care and […]

Prince Recoil: My Impressions

The masses have put out the call and Prince has been the first company to respond. Prince Recoil is the first synthetic string that promises to stay in alignment throughout the life of the string. In other words, “it snaps back into place giving the impression that it hasn’t moved.” There are literally hundreds of […]

Fresh Strings = Superior Play

This past weekend was the semi-finals of the MxD playoffs for our local ALTA tennis league. I have a large number of customers who play for two local neighborhood teams that squared off this past Saturday. For grins and giggles I attended and made a curious observation. Let me begin by stating it was fun […]

Rear Ended!

My most sincere apologies go out to two of my favorite local stringing customers, David and Marcia, for they would have won our tennis division and the prestigious bag tag but for my butt. In Atlanta we are fortunate to have massively large tennis leagues. The largest is an organization known as ALTA, the Atlanta […]

The performance characteristics allow a great deal of comfort, control and durability. If you have not yet experienced the advantage of playing […]

Monica Seles: Dancing Queen

Oh Monica…Please, say it isn’t so! I just want to remember you as the brilliant young woman who dominated woman’s tennis and literally changed the sport by blasting two-handed groundies at wicked angles past all comers. You were the first pure power hitter in woman’s tennis. When the going got tough, you coolly responded by […]

Full Disclosure (Sorry Mom!)

The Bud Collins Report is scheduled to come out later this year and it will blow the lid off of steroid use in recreational and league tennis. As I sit here preparing this blog entry, I do so with a heavy heart and an extra large box of tissues, for I have learned my name […]
