Here is my nomination for the most useless tennis accessory ever. You can see it on the big online auction site, listing number 7211591907. Here is the link, but I don't know if it will be filtered out.

Basically the product is a big suction cup thing you attach to the butt end of your racquet. You use it to help yourself pick up tennis balls, and the thing stays on while you play! They say you can even play with a ball stuck in it.

i read in tennis magazine that they used to have this watch that told the score for you, except most of the time, it would tell it wrong. Like, it would say 30-30, when it was 15-40.

thats hilarious. Who ever thought that up not only has no knowledge of tennis, but also no faith in the elderly, and thier ability to reach down and pick up a tennis ball. Perhaps its made for wheelchair tennis palyers, it may be helpful tehre, but in any other capacity, it is simply ludicrous.

Looks like a world class player in the pictures as well. Baggy cargo pants, and a sweat shirt over an untucked shirt.
None-the-less a sucker is born every minute.
