Ashaway Crossfire a ‘Cult Favorite’ for Hybrids

Ashaway’s Crossfire hybrid family includes six different material and string gauge combinations to suit “even the most discerning player’s taste,” says the company. Earlier Crossfire models, such as Crossfire II, 17 and 18, utilized aramid (Kevlar) mains and synthetic gut crosses. The most recent additions to the Crossfire hybrid line incorporate Ashaway’s 100 percent Zyex monofilament strings. These include Crossfire ZX and Crossfire XZ Tour.

Ashaway’s Crossfire hiybrid strings have been used for over 25 years. The first hybrid used on the pro tour was of Ashaway’s signature aramid main string, in combination with natural gut. “Players of all stripes are using polyesters or aramids for stiffness and durability, but mixing them with a softer string for playability,” says Ashaway’s Steve Crandall. Ashaway’s Crossfire, though, has become a “cult favorite” among hybrid fans. For more information, visit ashawayusa.com.

Vegosen is a long-time volunteer, leader, advocate, fundraiser and connector for tennis at all levels.

In September, he completed a four-year term on the ITF board of directors.

Mateflex Offers Modular Court Surface

Mateflex says its interlocking modular tennis surface combines the comfort and resiliency of a soft court and the durability and low maintenance of a hard court. The company, which recently displayed its products at the ASBA exhibitor show, says its 12- by 12-inch injection-molded tiles connect with an easy to use interlocking system. The narrow gauge ribs not only allow for fast, flow-through drainage for quick drying and safe footing, but also help the ball bite the surface.

The manufacturer also says minor sub-base faults won’t adversely affect play or appearance of a Mateflex court, so the surface can be used to convert older hard courts to a softer surface or solve ongoing sub-base problems. For more information, call 800-926-3539 or visit mateflex.com.

Bollettieri Teams with Pivot Wearable Tech

TuringSense, a Silicon Valley pioneer of wearable sports technology, and International Tennis Hall of Fame coach Nick Bollettieri have partnered to bring to market Pivot, a biomechanics-based wearable that incorporates Bollettieri’s coaching knowledge.

Integrated within Pivot, says the company, is access to Bollettieri’s training techniques and instructions, which can be customized for individuals, to help them become better players. Pivot also allows other users or coaches to integrate their own training techniques.

Pivot is a multi-sensor, high-speed motion-capture and analysis system designed to improve playing and training and to prevent injuries. Unlike other products that attach a single sensor to a tennis racquet, Pivot uses a pack of wearable sensors that attach to different parts of the body or clothing.

“I’ve dedicated my life to helping players enjoy and improve in the sport of tennis,” Bollettieri says. “Through Pivot, I’m excited to be able to share my tennis know-how and techniques with a much larger swath of tennis players spanning all ages and abilities. Now I can share my techniques with everyone, wherever they are in the world.” Visit turingsense.com.
