Tennis
With the new Tennis nearly here, this is a good time to start thinking about your needs for the summer. Our range of new rackets are due in now, along with our continuing policy of allowing customers to ‘try before you buy’ on most mid to top end Tennis rackets. (Badminton & squash also available) we also offer a restringing service to spruce up your current racket. As a general guide a racket should be restrung as many times in a year as you play in a week. Whilst we all know that the professional athlete has to have the best of the best, it might interest you to know the following statistics from the 2007 US Open
- 2726 rackets were strung at the tournament. Up by nearly 400 on 2006
- Nikolay Davydenko & Venus Williams were the players keeping the stringers busiest with 40 & 32 rackets respectively strung
- Highest tension used on main strings was 79 pounds & 60 on the cross strings.
- The lowest tension used was a measly 22 pounds.
- Men had 71% of rackets restrung. Even taking into consideration the greater number of sets played per match on the men’s tour, this represented a 60 40 split per set.

New Technology
Ions are the new secret weapon for improved athletic performance & personal well being. Two brands using natural Ionic technology are available in store, Trion:z & Canterbury of New Zealand. Minus Ions are abundant in nature through plants, waterfalls, rainstorms & mountain ranges. Unfortunately the effects of minus Ions are counteracted by positive Ions generated from many types of modern technology. Trion:z magnetic therapy wristbands use medical grade magnets to help increase concentration, performance & give you a sense of general well being. They also help reduce stress. Canterbury Ionx clothing helps increase your blood flow & the delivery of oxygen to the muscles. Ionx energy fabric also increase your average power output by 2.7% which could be the difference between a 100M Olympic Gold medal & not even making the final. Whilst most of us are not in a position to be running for the Olympics, the Ionised material will aid your recovery following exercise or injury so that you can be back out enjoying your sport quicker.
Both companies have conducted specific research & are endorsed by leading teams, individuals & organisations
