New day, new data 📊

Anderson Parker came into the Lab for a full performance fitting. With the data guiding every detail, the goal was simple : find the racquet gives Anderson the best competitive edge.

Solinco sessions, wrapped 🎾

across the week, players came through Tennis Lab to test, compare and find a string setup that actually matched their game.

using Hawk-Eye data, blacked-out frames and real hitting feedback, each fitting gave players a clearer look at what their racquet was doing — more spin, more speed, more depth and more confidence in their setup.

Grass season is here 🌱

The game changes fast.

Grass usually plays lower, quicker and more slippery than hard or clay courts meaning the ball stays lower, points shorten, reactions matter more and players have less time to set up.

That’s where CPI helps tell the story.

Court Pace Index gives a clearer picture of how different surfaces actually play, not just how they look.

How the blackout begins. 🎾⚫️

Before a racquet gets tested, we remove the noise.

At Tennis Lab, selected frames are blacked out from their original colours to take away brand bias, colour bias and expectation.

No logos.
No favourites.
No assumptions.

Just the player, the racquet, and the data.

Because the best frame for you should be found by feel, performance and evidence, not by what you thought you liked before you even hit a ball.
