Although I sell the product I am by no means a tennis fan however, if you went to an event live you’d be amazed at how fast the ball is travelling in real time.

I’ve been on play test days with top county players and a guy that played junior singles at Wimbledon when I worked for Dunlop Sports........you don’t even get a sniff when they serve, these lads can serve at 120mph at times and it’s like waving a racket at fresh air.

It requires terrific coordination and athletic ability to play it well.
