Club Clothing - Our club and team cloth-
ing sales have grown to 200% more than our
normal tennis clothing sales. We offer these to
all clubs in the area at a reasonable price. This
brings in more customers into the shops and
has also increased our sales of everything else.
In Germany, everyone plays on red clay in
summer. We use a cloth and cockpit cleaner
to clean the rackets off, then a brush between
the grommets to remove clay dust. This is not
only better looking, the strings last longer. If the
customer has a lot of shear breakage, we lightly
spray silicon spray in the top grommets.
We sell mostly white overgrips, Yonex Grap,
Wilson Pro and Tecnifibre Extra Full. We put
one on free for our regular customers.
The current range of Head squash rackets includes the Adaptive Fan Pattern (AFP) technology
in the Xenon and Speed models. Without any change to the grommets the rackets can be strung
two different ways either with a fan pattern or with a straight string pattern. The following pictures
illustrate the two different patterns:-
The Head Xenon SB (slim body) 120 and 135 share this system, the two rackets share the same
Grommets and can both be strung either way.
Similarly, The Head Speed 120 (SB)and 135 (SB) also share the same grommets and can be done
either way. Extra care needs to be taken due to the cross strings sitting in recessed grommets on
these Speed (SB) models.
