SquareHit Tennis Launches Innovative Tennis Training Aid at Bank of the West Classic
The WristAssist Improves Players’ Game by Helping Them “Feel What the Pros Feel”  

Palo Alto, Calif. – July 24, 2006 – SquareHit Tennis, the leading developer of innovative tennis training equipment, today launched the WristAssist™, a new tennis training aid that improves players’ tennis strokes by enabling them to truly experience what a correct tennis stroke should feel like. This powerful training tool places the player’s wrist and racket in the correct “squared up” position through the critical “impact zone.”

The WristAssist is the first and only product on the market that allows players of all levels to “train their brain” by creating the optimum grooved swing path to hit solid crisp forehands, two-handed backhands, and forehand and backhand volleys.

“The SquareHit WristAssist is an incredibly powerful tennis training tool,” said Brad Gilbert, the top tennis coach in America who has coached players such as Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick to number one in the world. “It will dramatically improve your strokes by training your brain and grooving your tennis strokes better and more quickly than you ever thought possible.”

SquareHit Tennis will demonstrate the WristAssist at its booth during the Bank of the West Classic in Palo Alto, Calif. from July 24-30. Held at Stanford University, the Bank of the West Classic is one of the nation’s top-rated ladies tennis tournaments and will feature stars like the former world’s number one ranked player, Kim Clijsters, and this year’s French Open semi-finalist, Nicole Vaidisova.

“The WristAssist was designed to quickly groove the “feel” of the correct tennis stroke into the player’s muscle memory so that it can be counted on under playing pressure,” said Bow Rodgers, President and CEO of SquareHit Tennis. He and his partner, well-known tennis pro Ray Bilsey, believe that “the WristAssist will help train the player’s brain so that they won’t have to think about the mechanics of the tennis stroke, just how to focus on the ball and play better tennis.”

The sophisticated, yet rugged design of the WristAssist fits comfortably on the wrist, then simply attaches to the tennis racket allowing a stable, solid and confidence-building connection between player and racket. The tennis player’s wrist then is set in the correct “laid back” position to consistently square the racket face to and through the ball during impact. This solid connection allows players to deliver powerful, crisp shots time after time until the trained muscle memory makes the grooved stroke instinctive.

Pricing
Priced at $69.95, and designed for years of use, the WristAssist provides a powerful training package to quickly develop a player’s forehand and two-handed backhand ground strokes as well as volleys off of both sides for the price of just one quality tennis lesson.
