Hello everyone!
This is my first blog ever and a test to make sure this works.
I will be updating my web site as I go.
The first bit of news, I will be in a tennis tournament at a 3.5 level this weekend using the Natural Power Grip. I have hit with it about four or five times and I do not feel I have lost any control playing with the racquet. I can see only positive things and advantages from this racquet.
We will have to see how things go and I will let you know!

Hey Brad,
Nice website!! Tennis is one of the few sports that I have never played. But the raquet looks very avant garde! As Einstein said, “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” I’m sure you will have some battles ahead of you with something this revolutionary in such a traditional sport. Just enjoy the ride!!

Dr. Schmid,
Thanks, for my first post! It is never to late to start playing tennis and I have a great racquet I will let you try! I am very new to the computer web page thing but hopefully I will get better on the computer and also on the tennis court.
I was able to play in the Plano Open Tennis Tournament last weekend but between the heat index at 107 and having a crick in my neck I lost in the semifinals. I am not about making excuses just solutions! This weekend I will be playing for my USTA 3.5 on Sunday where we are tied for 1st in our division. Hopefully with me getting all “aligned” from you, drinking more fluids a few days before I play and practicing more with the Natural Power Grip, I will come out with a W! My real goal is to get better every day stay healthy and win the Fort Worth Open in July. I guess time will tell, thank you again and I will see you throughout the week.

Wow! I’m impressed! The video was cool to watch. Congratulations on 2nd place! I am confident you will take the 1st place trophy on your next tournament. Keep it up!

Update,
The results are in and to keep things short but to the point I was able to make it to the finals and then lost. I did get second place and a trophy and this is the first final’s I have made it to since getting back into tennis after a year ago. Hopefully the twenty years I have taken off since playing competitively in high school will not take as long with my two handled racquet and help me get back on top of my game.
Every time I play with the Natural Power Grip I become more comfortable and confident on how to take advantage of every angle. There were several players asking questions and seemed interested about the racquet. I will just have to continue to make it to the final round, but next time I hope to walk away with the first place trophy. The next tournament I will be playing is in Richardson and I will let you know the results. If anyone has a comment or wants to try the racquet out let me know.
