Protecting your Tennis Racquet

Rob Keating — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 14:30:16 +0000

Very often during the tennis matches, we see the pros using plastics bag to wrap their tennis racquets. The plastic bag provides some protection to the tennis racquet against humidity and scratches, especially when your tennis racquet is strung by natural gut. Racquets strung by natural gut have to be taken special care and store in environment with note on the temperature, humidity and air flow. Natural gut racquets are best stored in slightly below room temperature. High temperature can make your string becomes brittle and easily broken. Exposure to Water and high humidity will also damage your natural gut string. Although today natural gut coating help repel water to some extent, special care on avoiding water to spill on it is very important. To protect your racquet and string, some people will use plastic bags to storage the racquet, this minimize the effect of changes in air humidity and temperature. But in this era of rising environmental concerns, using plastic bag is not an ideal way. Plastic bags take about a million years to biodegrade, not to mention about the released toxins and pollution caused by the manufacturing processes. Instead of using plastics bags, Tennis Workshop has launched a series of Tennis Racquet Sack Bag, which is made by Nylon available in various color. These sack bags allows your tennis racket to be kept in a more stable environment, preventing temperature fluctuation and avoiding excessive air flow to dry your string. Its water proof nylon materials also prevent water to dampen your string. To allow further protection for your racquet from humidity, you can place a silica packet inside the sack bag to help absorb extra moisture in the air, especially during humid months. Tennis Workshop Nylon Sack Bag allows your racket to stay dry in case of unexpected showers. It also protects individual racket from scratching when it’s packed with other tennis gears in your bag. These Nylon Sack Bags are available in various color including Black, Brown, Red, Deep Pink, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green and Purple. Besides using it to protect your racquet, it can also be used alone as a very handy tennis bag to hold your racquets when you don’t want to bring your full gear.
