Published: 13 February 2018 Abstract: Tennis rackets have advanced significantly since the invention of the game in 1874, including innovations in both shape and materials. Advances in these design parameters have implications for racket performance, especially swing speed. This study tested one hundred rackets, spanning brands and eras, using simple, portable instruments in order to pilot protocols and make recommendations for streamlining testing procedures for tennis rackets. A wide range of properties were measured and documented for each racket. We suggest that since Transverse and Lateral Moment of Inertia are well correlated, measuring both is not necessary when processing a large number of rackets. In addition, it is also possible to predict the Transverse Moment of Inertia well from models that use simple dimension and mass measurements, which may be preferable in larger studies.

On 10 April 2006 the Competition Tribunal prohibited the merger between Massmart Holdings Limited and Moresport Limited in terms of section 16(2)(c) read with Rule 35(5) of the Competition Act. The reasons for this decision appear below. THE PARTIES 2. The primary acquiring firm is Massmart Holdings Limited (ªMassmartº), a public company listed on the JSE. Though it is not controlled by any one group, the major shareholders of Massmart are: - Old Mutual Group 14.22% - Public Investment Commission 5.42% - Participants of the Massmart Holdings Share Trust 5.18% 3. Massmart controls and operates various divisions, grouped as follows: Massmart Holdings Massdiscounters Masswarehouse Massbuild Masscash Game Makro Builders Warehouse Shield Dion Federated Timbers Furnex CBW Servistar 1 Jumbo De la Ray's 4. Massmart is described by the merging parties as a high volume, low margin retailer of food, liquor and general merchandise. General merchandise encompasses a disparate array of products including office supplies, DIY equipment, hi-tech products, household appliances, sporting and recreational goods and categories of clothing. 5.
