Rapid Sensory Profiling of Tennis Rackets †
Proceedings Rapid Sensory Profiling of Tennis Rackets † Maximilian Bauer 1,*, Sean Mitchell 1, Nathan Elliott 2 and Jonathan Roberts 1 1 Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering, Loughborough University, Loughborough LE11 3QF, UK; [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (J.R.) 2 R&D Racquet Sports, HEAD Sport GmbH, 6921 Kennelbach, Austria; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-7902-592-659 † Presented at the 13th Conference of the International Sports Engineering Association, Online, 22–26 June 2020. Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: Tennis racket manufacturers rely on subjective assessments from testers during the development process. However, these assessments often lack validity and include multiple sources of inconsistency in the way testers make subjective ratings. The purpose of this research was to investigate the suitability of the free-choice profiling (FCP) method in combination with principle component analysis (PCA) and multiple factor analysis (MFA) to determine the sensory profile of rackets. FCP was found to be a suitable technique to quickly evaluate the sensory profile of rackets; however, consumer testers tended to use ill-defined, industry-generated terms, which negatively impacted discrimination and inter-rater agreement. Discrimination and inter-rater agreement improved for attributes referring to measurable parameters of the rackets, such as vibration. This study furthers our understanding of tennis racket feel and supports racket engineers in designing new subjective testing methods, which provide more meaningful data regarding racket feel. Keywords: feel; sensory analysis; tennis rackets; free-choice profiling; PCA; MFA 1. Introduction Since performance advancements have become more challenging in the tennis racket industry, manufacturers rely increasingly on consumer feedback in terms of racket feel to provide direction in the development process. -

Positioning Youth Tennis for Success-W References 2.Indd
POSITIONING YOUTH TENNIS FOR SUCCESS POSITIONING YOUTH TENNIS FOR SUCCESS BRIAN HAINLINE, M.D. CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER UNITED STATES TENNIS ASSOCIATION United States Tennis Association Incorporated 70 West Red Oak Lane, White Plains, NY 10604 usta.com © 2013 United States Tennis Association Incorporated. All rights reserved. PREFACE The Rules of Tennis have changed! That’s right. For only the fifth time in the history of tennis, the Rules of Tennis have changed. The change specifies that sanctioned events for kids 10 and under must be played with some variation of the courts, rules, scoring and equipment utilized by 10 and Under Tennis. In other words, the Rules of Tennis now take into account the unique physical and physiological attributes of children. Tennis is no longer asking children to play an adult-model sport. And the rule change could not have come fast enough. Something drastic needs to happen if the poor rate of tennis participation in children is taken seriously. Among children under 10, tennis participation pales in relation to soccer, baseball, and basketball. Worse, only .05 percent of children under 10 who play tennis participate in USTA competition. Clearly, something is amiss, and the USTA believes that the new rule governing 10-and- under competition will help transform tennis participation among American children through the USTA’s revolutionary 10 and Under Tennis platform. The most basic aspect of any sport rollout is to define the rules of engagement for training and competition. So in an attempt to best gauge how to provide the proper foundation for kids to excel in tennis—through training, competition, and transition—the USTA held its inaugural Youth Tennis Symposium in February 2012. -

The First Beautiful Game
THE FIRST BEAUTIFUL GAME Stories of obsession in Real Tennis Roman Krznaric Ronaldson Publications September 2006 CONTENTS Introduction The Wordless Conversation From Abbots to Zealots Life in Court Serving to Gentlemen The Missionary Adventures With My Father References Acknowledgements About the author Notes 2 INTRODUCTION Bent rackets, hand-sewn balls and netted windows. Painted crowns, brass bells and penthouses. Chases, railroads and giraffes. Welcome to the curious world of real tennis. Originating in medieval Europe, the court, rules and equipment have hardly changed in four centuries. Yet this book is not a chronicle of its history, nor is it a manual on technique and strategy. It is about the players and their obsession. Over the past five years I have spoken with real tennis players about their experiences of the sport, why they play and what it means to them. I learned that most of them are fanatics, some are addicts. More than a few are eccentrics. And I found their stories revealing about the art of living: whether to pursue our passions and ambitions, how to balance work and personal life, why we need respect and equality, where we can find and create beauty. This book tells those stories in their own voices. I should admit that I am one of the fanatics, an amateur player who has named three bicycles and a car after former World Champions. I first encountered real tennis in the late 1980s when a student. At the time I was dedicated to another sport that, in my ignorance, I called ‘tennis’ – the game played at Wimbledon and in parks on sunny afternoons. -
Measurements of the Horizontal Coefficient of Restitution for a Superball and a Tennis Ball
Measurements of the horizontal coefficient of restitution for a superball and a tennis ball Rod Crossa) Physics Department, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006 Australia ͑Received 9 July 2001; accepted 20 December 2001͒ When a ball is incident obliquely on a flat surface, the rebound spin, speed, and angle generally differ from the corresponding incident values. Measurements of all three quantities were made using a digital video camera to film the bounce of a tennis ball incident with zero spin at various angles on several different surfaces. The maximum spin rate of a spherical ball is determined by the condition that the ball commences to roll at the end of the impact. Under some conditions, the ball was found to spin faster than this limit. This result can be explained if the ball or the surface stores energy elastically due to deformation in a direction parallel to the surface. The latter effect was investigated by comparing the bounce of a tennis ball with that of a superball. Ideally, the coefficient of restitution ͑COR͒ of a superball is 1.0 in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The COR for the superball studied was found to be 0.76 in the horizontal direction, and the corresponding COR for a tennis ball was found to vary from Ϫ0.51 to ϩ0.24 depending on the incident angle and the coefficient of sliding friction. © 2002 American Association of Physics Teachers. ͓DOI: 10.1119/1.1450571͔ I.

Golf Course at Eastward Ho! L 11-20-12
The Golf Course at Eastward Ho! William L. Healy, MD 2012 1 The Golf Course at Eastward Ho! "The Golf Course at Eastward Ho!" was written to tell the story of the golf course and to describe the eighteen golf holes at Eastward Ho! The impetus for this project was the author's amateur interest in golf course architecture and a desire to apply an evolving knowledge of golf course design to the golf course at Eastward Ho! This essay is not a comprehensive history of Eastward Ho! Edward Harriman (1973, 1978) and Virginia Doherty (1988) have previously recorded the history of the club. This project is limited to the story of the golf course and descriptions of the historic, topographic, architectural, and strategic characteristics of the eighteen golf holes. The hole-by-hole discussions include: yardage from the back tees, par, design characteristics, comments on the history, land, and features of the hole, thoughts on strategic playing of the hole, and names which have been suggested for the hole. "The Golf Course at Eastward Ho!" was initially written by and for the author with no intended audience. A brief essay was begun in 2009, and it has evolved to the present manuscript. The opinions expressed are personal, and they do not represent the club or any committee at Eastward Ho! This work was not authorized by Eastward Ho! The information presented is believed to be accurate, and references have been provided. However, this project is a work in progress.

Ball Trajectories
42 Ball Trajectories Factors Influencing the Flight of the Ball Nathalie Tauziat, France By Rod Cross Introduction good tennis player knows instinctively how hard to hit a ball and at what angle to get the ball over the net and into the court so that the ball lands at just the right spot. This comes from years of practice. Players Amight be surprised to know just what they are doing in terms of the actual ball trajectories. For example suppose you hit a forehand at the baseline so that the ball lands on your opponent's baseline 78 feet away. If you hit the same ball but 1% faster it will land 18 inches beyond the baseline. If you hit the ball one degree higher it will land about 6 feet beyond the baseline, depending on the initial speed and angle. If you hit the ball one degree further to the left it will land 16 inches further to the left. When serving a ball at moderate to high speed, the ball must be served a few degrees down from the horizon- tal. Too far down and the ball will hit the net. Not enough and the ball will be long. The range of possible angles is only about two degrees, and it gets smaller if the ball is served faster or by a shorter player (Brody, 1987). The range of angles increases if the ball is served with topspin. Typical ball trajectories are shown below, togeth- er with an explanation of the trajectories. 368 Chapter 42 Examples of Ball Trajectories (a) Dropping a Ball (Free Fall) Suppose that a ball is dropped from a height of 1.0 m (about waist height) and is allowed to fall to the ground.
