It is our vested interest to understand the way that these components affect the condition and body at all levels of play. For this reason, Tecnifibre created the PLAYLAB : a laboratory which takes place on the tennis court. It aims to: - Analyze how the material affects play and the player - Understand the concerns of the player in play on the specific court surface. - Propose useful technology to improve the performance and feeling of the player.
