~*Please help me out!?*~ :)
I have made a list of questions below that i would like as many people to answer as possible, it would really help me with a module at college its called sport technology. If you could take the time to help me i will be very greatful, and i'll tell you how it goes next week!.
the best way to answer them is to copy them and paste them into the relpy box!. XXX Are you male or female? How old are you? what region do you live in/ country? (you can leave this blank if you wish) Are you a tennis player or a coach? I am inventing a new gadget that will be useful to someone who plays tennis..... What would you want to be made by a manufacturer to aid you when playing tennis? (within the laws of physics please! its for me to make and i'm not a rocket scientist!*grumbles* i wish i was!) What do you think of the weights that attach to tennis rackets? (like P.R.E. stroke trainers? (those yellow ball things that attach through the strings?) Do you think they help you warm up? Do they help you with your strength? What would you change about them if you had the chance? Do you own any tennis training aids/use them as your coach owns them? How often do you or your coach buy training aids? How much do you or your coach spend aprox a year on training aids? How much would you pay for a tennis racket weight you could play a training game with while its attached, that will protect your racket from scrapes and has an easy weight adjustment mechanism? (ranges min - max e.g $5 - $10, or £5 - £10) thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this essential part of my project much love! Nic x |

What do you think of the weights that attach to tennis rackets? (like P.R.E. stroke trainers? (those yellow ball things that attach through the strings?)

What would you want to be made by a manufacturer to aid you when playing tennis? (within the laws of physics please! its for me to make and i'm not a rocket scientist!*grumbles* i wish i was!) A good white grip which didn't go brown. What do you think of the weights that attach to tennis rackets? (like P.R.E. stroke trainers? (those yellow ball things that attach through the strings?) I don't rate them - they mess up the balance of your racquet and weight etc so your timing is off when you play. Do you think they help you warm up? No. see above. Do they help you with your strength? They might, but you'd be better off at the gym or doing other training. What would you change about them if you had the chance? Get rid of them. Do you own any tennis training aids/use them as your coach owns them? Don't really know what you mean by training aids.... How often do you or your coach buy training aids? ---- How much do you or your coach spend aprox a year on training aids? ----- How much would you pay for a tennis racket weight you could play a training game with while its attached, that will protect your racket from scrapes and has an easy weight adjustment mechanism?
