Lotto Syn-Pulse Raptor - My New Favorite Shoe

Photobucket



The new Lotto Tennis Shoes are incredible!



Have you tried them? - Of course not, because they just shipped from the company to retailers like us.



We just received them, tried them out, and loved.



This shoe, worn by Lotto's tour players like David Ferrer, are on the heavy side.



They're heavy because they're loaded with technology, which, to me, makes up for the heavy feel.



I'm not the biggest fan of heavy tennis shoes, but these Lotto shoes make your feet feel snug, airy, and comfortable.



Adapto technology (thermoplastic materials that mold to your feet) make the shoe fit like a glove after just a couple practices.



Yes, this is the kind of shoe you must break in, but the break-in period lasts only a couple practices or so. - After that, they'll feel like custom-built shoes!



You must have a lot of energy, strength and great footwork in order to make the Syn-Pulse Raptor work for you.



As soon as you lose intensity, you'll start to feel the weight of the shoes.



I also recommend these as training shoes to enhance your practices, and gain strength and agility, while using a lighter, gameday shoe to compete in. - Just a thought.



The shoes are now available at www.TheTennisZone.com, and as far as I know, there are no other American tennis companies selling this shoe quite yet.



Play in the Zone, and keep your feet happy and content this year.

New Yonex Frame Goes With Nothing, But Plays Like A Dream!

Yonex RDiS 100 Midplus Tennis Racquet - Let us introduce you to another stick that just made our hot list for 2009.

The Yonex RDis 100 comes in both 93 and 100-square-inch frames, with a sweet, thin, flat beam.

Develop the player in you with the Yonex RDiS 100.

I strongly recommend this to a young, developing tennis player that loves to strike the ball with a fast racquet.

If you're strong and you can hang in rallies, try one of these frames.

The 93-square-inch frame plays way more like a 95 or 97, definitely a good first midsize for the serious, tuned player.

Buy it, and take the next step.

Play in the zone.

Specs and write-up are below.

Photobucket

A larger frame (100 sq. in.) than its midsize counterpart, the Yonex RDiS 100 Midplus is great for an all-around player that has good technique.

It's a great option for a strong player that likes a little weight on his/her racquet.

Recommended for all-rounders.

This racquet provides powerful shots and sharp spin with control.

Advanced solid feel at impact is provided by STABILITY TORSION CONTROL.

Headsize: 98 sq.in
Average Weight 11.5 oz (strung)
Grip Size G2,3,4,5
Length 27.0 in.
Material CS Carbon Nanotube
Nanoscale Elastic Ti
H.M.Graphite
Colour Crystal Red
Recommended String ATG850
Stringing Pattern (main/cross) 16/19
Made in Japan

Dunlop Aerogel 3hundred 4D

Dunlop racquets have been out of my life for some time now.

The Dunlop Revelation was one of my first racquets.

The color, the grip... I loved it, but I moved on, and honestly, I hadn't taken Dunlop seriously for a while.

I'm thinking of dropping the my beloved Prestige, and the Dunlop Aerogel 300hundred is why.

For real.

Do you see any other blatant plug on our blog or on our site about any other racquet?

Dunlop Aerogel 3Hundred 4D at TheTennisZone

Yep.

I know you'll the right thing and demo this racquet from Tennis Zone.

Thanks,

A bit heavy, but not as dense and flexible as some other player's racquets.



It also comes in a lighter team version, which is a little easier to play with.



Then comes the remake of the Prince Graphite, the EXO Prince Graphite, in both 93-square-inch and 100-square-inch frames.



Come by the store, or go to order demos online.






Next up: Sales!
