Babolat Presents the Tennis of the Future
In 1875, Babolat introduced the strings for tennis racquets. More than 135 years later, the company presents its vision of the tennis of tomorrow, brought by its “Play & Connect” racquet.
As tennis is played today, players have very little information for evaluating their performance outside of the match results. They lack data for analyzing their game, whether for studying their own progress or for comparing their performance to other players.
As a result of research conducted over the course of five years, Babolat is developing today the “Play & Connect” racquet which offers a new experience to players thanks to sensors integrated in the racquet that record the flow of data.

You can discover the prototype at Roland Garros (May 2012) and the first demos and presentation of the Babolat “Play & Connect” prototype racquet will be at the 2012 French Open.
