Dennis Fabian of HEAD will be presenting the new tuning center at the Symposium along with the new HEAD Sensor. We have been swamped with questions about the tuning center for the last year and I am sure everyone will be looking forward to testing it along with the updated HEAD stringing machines. Our new ERSA China manager, Roger Luo, will be attending also along with our Chinese certification testers. Anyone interested in getting tennis products produced in China can speak to them about getting contacts with manufacturers. This issue contains a large number of tennis, badminton and squash product introductions including shoes, bags, strings and rackets. Next month we will have an article on the Symposium and lots of new products introduced to our members.
