Tecnifibre’s goal in product innovation is to propose the most efficient product for each specific target. We must study and measure the real effects which are caused by the game of tennis and by the material upon the body whatever the player level. The Pl ayl ab is not a tec hnical guarantee . It is an on-c ourt impl ementation of bel ief whic h it s hares with Te c nif ib re: to hel p the pl ayer pl ay bet ter. For this reason, Tecnifibre created the PLAYLAB, the first in-play lab: a laboratory which takes place on the tennis court. It aims to: - Analyse how the material affects play and the player. - Understand the problem of the player in play, on court. -  ropose useful technology to improve the performance and feeling of P the player. rACKETS STRINGS LUGGAGE e n gin eere d to re sist MORE VIBRATION REDUCTION BETTER FEEL BETTER SHOCK ABSORPTION / ENHANCED VIBRATIONS REDUCTION BagS designED to Last + Heavier Rackets (+300gr) are generally used by tournament players with good technical level which offer ton of power. + High power requires maximum spin for great performance. + Polyester strings provide great spin efficiency with added durability and stiffer polyester material generates more vibration. DIAGNOSTIC + ATP Players spend 1200 hours on court per year and travel 100,000km around the world. SOLUTION SOLUTION CONDITIONS OF USE + directly inspired from racket preparation for professional players, utilizing silicon in handle lay-up limits bad vibrations. + Standard polyester strings generate : 22% more arm fatigue compared with pu multifilaments DIAGNOSTIC (source : playlab – Pro Red Code 2009 Vs X-ONE BIPHASE during a tennis match – 2009) + Unique production process based on high temperature. Pre stretch of the matrix. SOLUTION + Bags designed to resist extreme conditions of the ATP WORLD TOUR™. + Tarpaulin Material: 50% more resistant than the 400D polyester. + Reinforced bartack on all sensitive seams . + Thermally waterproof zippers.
