Tennis C Williams , a lifestyle tennis brand , announced the launch of The Rocket , a new tennis racquet bag designed meticulously by tennis players for passionate tennis players who want an innovative racquet bag that ’ s stylish , functional , and durable .
Tennis C Williams originated from the belief that the right tennis racquet bag can elevate on-court performance . After interviewing hundreds of tennis
players spanning various skill levels , doubles partners David Hsieh and Dean Williams , who have participated in hundreds of matches and dozens of USTA tournaments , set out to design a modern , stylish bag that can withstand the daily wear and tear of the court without compromising on functionality .
“ The Rocket is a game changer for tennis players who are active in leagues , teams , or regular matches at their local club ,” said David Hsieh , co-founder of Tennis C Williams . “ We designed The Rocket to ensure players arrive ready to play , maximize their on-court performance , and enjoy their post-match experience with a tennis bag that keeps them organized , prepared , and looking stylish .”
Every detail of The Rocket has been well-thought-out to meet the practical needs of players . After going through eight prototypes and over a year of realworld testing , the final product is lightweight and boasts an array of ingenious attributes , such as the revolutionary Smart Pocket Storage System , robust construction , and the innovation RocketPocket™ .
Key features of The Rocket include :
Highest-grade materials to provide superior durability and protection . The Rocket ’ s exterior is crafted from 1680D Ballistic Nylon , a remarkably resilient material typically found only in superpremium luggage .
YKK self-healing zippers distinguished by color-coded pulls . Vibrant tennis ball yellow is used for both the RocketPocket and tennis ball pockets , with black coating for everything else to help players easily spot key compartments .
Interior pockets incorporate innovative lining materials . All The Rocket pockets have a specific purpose and lining for each including a thermal lining in the racquet pocket to maintain temperature control ; an innovative antimicrobial lining in the “ wet pocket ” to keep damp items from becoming moldy and away from dry items and accessories ; and highcontrast lining in all other interior pockets to ensure optimal visibility of contents .
Innovative Smart Pocket System . The Rocket ’ s Smart Pocket System features easily identifiable icons to denote the purpose of each pocket for easy on-and off-court organization .
Quick Access to Personal Items . The Rocket Pocket™ was designed as a convenient and easy-to-access pocket for personal items such as players ’ keys , wallets , sunglasses and smartphones .
Dedicated Organization . The Rocket bag ensures everything has a home and stays organized . Beginning with a com-
partment that comfortably fits three tennis racquets , The Rocket also features a wet pocket for damp items , a compartment for shoes , an external neoprene pocket for quick water bottle access plus an additional internal water bottle pocket , a small pocket for things like medical items , and a large pocket for larger items such as knee brace , a laptop , tablet , or clipboard .
Handle Options . The Rocket offers multiple carrying options including a hand-carrying top handle , a removable shoulder strap , and concealable backpack straps .
Open Style . The main compartment features a “ book opening ” style , making it easy to see all the contents inside , and provides ample space to store almost anything players might want to bring on the court . Additionally , the bag stands up on its own , whether empty or full , making it and its contents more accessible than any other competitive tennis bag out there .
" Our aim is simple : create stylish bags that are innovative , durable , and functional ,” said Dean Williams , co-founder of Tennis C Williams . “ As avid tennis players , we know the importance of having a bag that meets your every need . We ’ re excited to introduce a stylish yet understated option for passionate players everywhere .
