Novak Djokovic Video
I don't know for sure, but it appears Novak Djokovic is being given a lot of creative control at Head.
Here his speed lesson on the smash.
We spoke with our Head rep yesterday.
He tells us no one is really sure.
We have been informed that another guy in the top ten has been practicing with the same racquet.
More on that, and actually how many racquets there are going to be in this racquet series... in the next post.
So here's the video.
We'll be sending an email about some awesome weekend sales, promotions and info about new arrivals in just a bit.
In the meanwhile, here's a pointless video.
Novak Djokovic, everybody.

Novak Djokovic - New Head Racquet
Djokovic Racquet Promotion - I'm not sure what this is.
Greetings, Tennis Zone Customers.
I've been trying to figure out two things this weekend, so let me know if you can help...
1.) What can I call a Tennis Zone customer that sounds more lively and catchy?
A TZer? A Zoner? A Tennis Zoner? - Let me know.
2.) Next up, what is up with this new Djokovic-going-to-Head thing?
What's up with the new stick? - He's playing with it everywhere, but I have no idea what it is.
Not many people other than Novak know.
I don't even know if our rep knows.
Not a whole lot has been said about this new racquet, due out this May.
I have nothing to tell you about it, except that we will have it available as soon as it comes out.
All I really have to show you is this video, which will probably just confuse you more.
Find more at SpeedLessons.com.
There is nothing that will help you learn more, but I laughed, so I'm referring you along.
Enjoy.

Wilson Tennis Shoes: Reinvented
The Wilson Tour Spin Men's Tennis Shoes are or the player that prefers a lightweight shoe that grabs and shapes to the foot.
Part of Wilson's new line of shoes, the Tour Spin is an excellent choice for hard courts.
A ballistic mesh upper makes this shoes one of the most breathable shoes of 2009, and nano-Wik technology keeps feet dry as sweat is transferred through the upper and away from the foot.
Extra rubber beneath the toe and a toe wrap over the toe make the Tour Spin very comfortable on stops and pivots. - They also add to the shoe life.
DST Foam makes for a consistent fit everytime.
Gel and Air soles often pop or fizzle out after a couple months, while the DST Foam maintains shape, even when the biggest, strongest players use them.
This means longer cushion life, and lower risk of foot and ankle injury.
The Innerloc lacing system allows for a nice tight fit without having to continually adjust shoes on changeovers.

Diadora Speed Pro Tennis Shoe - Fits Like Butter
Tennis shoes usually lack either stability or comfort.
If you like a light shoe, buy a pair.
These shoes wear like a light running shoe, but have the stability of a court shoe.
I still use the heavier Lottos with competition insoles and love them, but I'll probably go with a lighter shoe like the Speed Pro for the clay courts this spring and summer. - I just feel that if I can get stability in a lighter shoe, I would be an idiot not to buy them.
That's all.
Plus, they are awesome hang-out shoes.
Get them in black, silver, white or red.
# # #
Specs below
Upper: Air mesh plus net, combined with ultra-soft, lightweight synthetic micro-fiber for maximum breathability, flexibility and light weight. Toe overlay in Diadora exclusive HAR micro-fiber synthetic plus rubber print provides high resistance to abrasion due to toe drag. Lined throughout with special anti-bacterial treatment.
Insole: Removable, anatomically shaped, cushioned ErgoFit Insole with special anti-bacterial treatment.
Midsole: Molded EVA foam with Double Action inserts in the forefoot and heel area for enhanced shock absorption and flexibility. The Air Flow grid ensures proper forefoot flexion while offering midfoot stability and unsurpassed breathability.
Outsole: The lightweight outsole incorporates Diadora’s revolutionary Axeler Technology that dramatically improves forefoot flexibility while ensuring maximum midfoot stability. The thread-like frame composed of Tech Alloy, which is visible in the outsole, provides the versatility required to prevent midfoot torsion while enhancing forefoot flexibility as demanded by the competitive player. Duratech 5000 special anti-abrasion rubber compound throughout to ensure excellent durability.

Power Bridge 10 - If You're Good Enough, It's Pretty Good.
Think you're good enough to hit with the Volkl Power Bridge?
This is Volkl's leap from a decent DNX 10 to a reinvented series.
Feel is great.
Power is surprising.
Comfort is... well, just make sure you don't catch the ball late, because you will feel it!
I'm looking forward to the light version of this racquet to come out.
It has the same technology and feel.
It's just easier to use.
There's no shame in it.
I'm getting one.
Just tell me what you need, and I will help you out.

Gamma - New Strings Available Now!
Oh Gamma.
My relationship with you has always been one of the love-hate variety.
Renowned on the tour for great performance, I just haven't seen it, always quietly accusing you of getting caught up with gimmicks and marketing.
I personally never cared about the free hat I would receive when I got a string-job with Zo.
I used to think the best thing about your string was the durability which would allow me to hang myself after the frustration I would experience trying to get used to the string.
I'm glad I never followed through, because this new line of string is sweet.
These are like the 2.0 versions of Gamma's previous string.
They all go up a notch in each category: Power, Control, Comfort and Durability.
I would say the changes are not tweaks, but reinventions to previous versions.
Pictures and specs below:
Gamma Zo Twist
Gamma Zo is back with new features to bump its rating up in all categories: Power, Control, Comfort and Durability.
For the player looking for extra bite on the ball without compromising power, Gamma Zo Twist delivers.
With an 8 out of 10 rating in both durability and control, plus a 7 out of 10 in power, Gamma Zo Twist is one of the most talked about new strings on the tour.
Zo Copolymer polyester filament strings feature a high energy core for a crisper feel and maximum control for all types of shots. Zo strings hold tension longer and provide maximum durability.
Unlike solid, perfectly round Zo, the Zo Twist appears to have fibers wrapping around the core.
In fact, there are no extra fibers, but the string is molded to appear that way for extra spin!
Color: Black
Gauge: 16
Gamma TNT Tour 16
Gamma TNT Tour 16 Gauge String is one of the few strings around that give the player a ton of power plus good durability.
Wrapped in fibers and coated, this string can handle high tension, and still deliver good control and comfort.
It's a must-try for the player looking for a durable gut-like string.
TNT's Thermo Nuclear Technology allows for greater elasticity and string bed deflection to cushion the impact andstore more energy in the strings for maximum power and feel.
Gamma Monoblast 16
Gamma Monoblast 16 is a Polyester Monofilament string that scores an 8 out of 10 on the durability scale.
Monoblast also scores high in control for the dead feel it provides to the big-hitting, fast-swinging player.
A little softer than other polyesters or kevlar, the Gamma Monoblast 16 trades a little durability for the power and control that most wirey strings don't have.
This fine string ships to us at the end of February.
Pre-book yours now!

Asics Gel - Dude, I'm totally Gellin'
You'll be gelling, and so will your game with the new Asics, only available in store, or by calling 937-436-4700.
I love these shoes because they fit like a glove, and after one practice, they become a part of you!
When people come into the store to try out shoes, I used to beat around the bush, bringing out all the latest models from all different companies, only to end up selling the Asics at the end.
Now, I lead with the Asics Gel Resolution, saving time for myself and the customer. (Thanks, Asics)
The Gel Resolutions are perfect for the average foot, meaning the foot that doesn't have any spurs, protrusions or any other kind of "foot character."
This is how most of our feet our, and I guess that's why Asics are our best selling shoe.
Call 937-436-4700 to place an order, or reserve a pair(s) for in-store pick up.
See you at the Zone!
