Dunlop sports release aerogel 4d braiding technology

http://www.dunlopsports.com/dunlop-tennis/Technology/Aerogel-4D-technology/

Dunlop sports have released their aerogel 4d braiding technology in time for Wimbledon. It says on their website:

"Dunlop has further enhanced its Aerogel technology by taking it to the next dimension with 4D braiding. Four directional braided material is used at key points on the racket frame to significantly increase racket stability. At 5 and 7 o'clock to minimise frame torsion and increase control. At 3 and 9 o'clock for increased stability and enhanced touch and feel.

The results are exceptional racket control without sacrificing the established Dunlop racket feel. 4D braiding has been implemented across the whole Dunlop Aerogel portfolio, offering outstanding benefits to players of all abilities.

Tennis racket that cools the hand

Text from Gizmodo.

"If you suffer from a debilitating case of hand sweat while playing tennis, the folks at Control Freek are offering up a solution with their new air circulating tennis racquets. Using the latest wiffle technology, Control Freek has cut some high-tech holes in their handle and added scoops to trap and circulate air to your palms while you play.

Sweat-free hands equal a sure grip, a sure grip equals better tennis, and better tennis equals a $275 racquet. Sure, there are products out there that cost less—but look at the dude pictured above. Only those who are extreme enough to wear a suit and boxing gloves while playing tennis are worthy of a Control Freek racquet."
