We are building a great network of players, ambassadors and coaches who have helped us all the way through the racket development process. We believe that no amount of laboratory testing can replace the experience of actually playing with the rackets. The testing team has been invaluable in fine-tuning the launch range as we went from prototypes to numerous samples to our first 3 Hollowbridge™ rackets. We would like to thank everyone who has helped us along the way.
