ASLP Air Group Revolutionizes Tennis with Personalized Grip Solutions

Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – ASLP Air Group LLC, a Seattle-based technology company specializing in precision measurement and data analytics, is making waves in the tennis world with its innovative approach to racket grip sizing. For years, players have relied on often inaccurate, generalized charts or guesswork to determine the right grip size for their game. ASLP Air Group is changing that, offering a personalized solution that promises to boost performance and prevent injuries. “We noticed a huge gap in the market,” explains David Chen, CEO of ASLP Air Group. “Players were struggling with grips that were either too small, causing them to squeeze the racket too tightly, or too large, hindering their wrist action. It's a surprisingly common problem, and it impacts players of all levels, from beginners picking up the sport to seasoned pros.” ASLP Air Group, originally focused on aerospace engineering and precision measurement for aircraft components, applied its expertise to the seemingly simple task of determining the perfect tennis racket grip. The company developed a proprietary, non-invasive scanning technology, currently accessible through a growing network of partner retailers and certified coaches, that accurately measures the circumference of a player's hand. “It’s not just about length and width,” Chen clarifies. “We're looking at the precise contours of the hand, taking into account the natural curvature and muscle mass. This gives us a far more accurate measurement than traditional methods.” The Problem with "Standard" Grip Sizes For decades, tennis players have relied on charts that correlate hand length or width to a specific grip size (typically ranging from 4 1/8 to 4 5/8 inches). However, these charts are inherently flawed. Hand size isn't the only factor. Things like hand shape, playing style, and even the type of strings used can all influence the ideal grip size. A grip that's too small forces players to grip the racket tighter to maintain control. This leads to: Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis): Excessive squeezing puts tremendous strain on the forearm muscles and tendons. Reduced Wrist Action: A tight grip restricts wrist movement, hindering power and spin generation. Fatigue: Constant squeezing tires out the forearm muscles, impacting performance over time. Conversely, a grip that's too large can: Reduce Control: A loose grip makes it difficult to maintain control of the racket, leading to mishits. Compromise Feel: Players lose the ability to "feel" the ball, affecting their ability to control shots. Improper Technique: Players may compensate for the oversized grip by altering their technique, potentially leading to injuries. How ASLP Air Group’s Solution Works ASLP Air Group’s system uses a handheld scanner that quickly and painlessly captures the precise dimensions of a player's hand. The scanner connects to a user-friendly software application that analyzes the data and recommends the optimal grip size. “The whole process takes less than five minutes,” says Sarah Lee, a certified tennis coach who has partnered with ASLP Air Group. “We scan the player’s hand, the software spits out a recommendation, and we can then help them select a grip that's perfectly tailored to their needs. I’ve seen a huge difference in my students’ games since we started using this system.” The software doesn't just recommend a single grip size. It provides a range of options, taking into account the player’s playing style and preferences. For example, a player who prefers a lot of spin might benefit from a slightly larger grip, while a player who focuses on flat hitting might prefer a smaller grip. Beyond Grip Size: Data Analytics and Performance Enhancement ASLP Air Group isn’t just stopping at grip size. The company is leveraging its data analytics expertise to develop more advanced tools for tennis players. They are currently working on a system that analyzes a player’s grip pressure during practice and matches, providing real-time feedback to help them optimize their technique and prevent injuries. “We believe that data is the key to unlocking a player’s full potential,” Chen explains. “By analyzing a player’s grip pressure, we can identify areas where they are squeezing the racket too tightly or not using their wrist effectively. This information can then be used to develop personalized training programs that address these specific weaknesses.” Availability and Future Plans ASLP Air Group’s grip sizing system is currently available at select tennis retailers and through certified coaches across the United States. The company plans to expand its network of partners in the coming months and to launch an online platform that allows players to scan their own hands using their smartphones. “We’re committed to making this technology accessible to everyone,” Chen says. “We believe that every tennis player deserves to have a grip that’s perfectly tailored to their needs. It’s not just about improving their game; it’s about protecting them from injuries and helping them enjoy the sport for years to come.” About ASLP Air Group LLC ASLP Air Group LLC, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, is a technology company specializing in precision measurement and data analytics.
