ASLP Air Group Revolutionizes Tennis with Personalized Grip Solutions

Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – ASLP Air Group LLC, a Seattle-based innovation company specializing in advanced material science and ergonomic design, is taking the tennis world by storm. They're not building rackets themselves, but they’re tackling something just as crucial – getting the right grip. You might think a grip is just a grip, but ASLP Air Group is showing players it's way more than that. For years, tennis players have struggled with finding a grip that truly feels comfortable and supports their game. Too small, and your hand cramps up. Too big, and you lose control. It's a surprisingly common problem, and often leads to frustration, discomfort, and even injury. ASLP Air Group realized this, and they decided to do something about it. "We noticed a huge gap in the market," says Mark Olsen, CEO of ASLP Air Group. “Players are spending hundreds on rackets, but often overlook the one thing they're literally holding onto. It’s like buying expensive running shoes and then wearing ill-fitting socks! We wanted to solve that. We wanted to get players comfortable and improve their game, starting with their grip." Beyond the Standard Sizes: Introducing a Truly Personalized Fit Traditionally, tennis grips come in a handful of standard sizes – 4 1/8”, 4 1/4”, 4 3/8”, 4 1/2”, and sometimes a 4 5/8”. These sizes are generally based on hand length and width, but they don’t account for individual variations in hand shape, playing style, or grip preference. ASLP Air Group is changing that. They’ve developed a system – it's a combination of an easy-to-use sizing tool and a range of grip sizes that go far beyond the standard options. “We've moved away from just 'small,' 'medium,' 'large',” explains Sarah Chen, ASLP Air Group's lead product designer. “We're talking about incremental sizing, down to the 1/16th of an inch. We're even looking at different grip profiles – round, oval, slightly squared off – to match a player’s natural hand shape.” How Does it Work? The ASLP Air Grip Finder The ASLP Air Group’s solution is the “Air Grip Finder.” It’s not a complicated process. Players can: 1. Use the Online Tool: Visit the ASLP Air Group website (currently in beta, with full launch planned for early 2024). The online tool walks players through a quick series of measurements – hand length, hand width, and a simple assessment of their grip style (continental, eastern, semi-western, western). 2. Receive a Personalized Recommendation: Based on those measurements, the Air Grip Finder recommends a specific grip size and profile. 3. Choose from a Range of Options: ASLP Air Group offers grips in a wide variety of sizes, covering the entire spectrum of possibilities. They also offer different materials – from traditional overgrips to more durable and cushioned options. 4. Pro Fitting Available: For players who want the ultimate precision, ASLP Air Group is partnering with select tennis clubs and retailers to offer professional grip fittings. A trained technician will analyze a player's hand and grip and recommend the perfect fit. The Science Behind the Comfort: Material Matters It’s not just about the size. ASLP Air Group has also put a lot of thought into the materials used in their grips. They've moved away from standard polyurethane and are experimenting with a new polymer blend that offers: Enhanced Cushioning: Reduces vibration and impact, protecting the hand and wrist. Moisture Wicking: Keeps the grip dry and comfortable, even during intense play. Improved Tackiness: Provides a secure grip, even in hot or humid conditions. Durability: Lasts longer than traditional grips, reducing the need for frequent replacements. “We’ve been testing these materials with professional players and amateur enthusiasts alike,” says Chen. “The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Players are reporting less fatigue, more control, and a significant improvement in their overall comfort.” Addressing Common Issues ASLP Air Group is specifically targeting common grip-related problems: Blisters and Calluses: A properly sized grip distributes pressure evenly, reducing friction and preventing blisters. Tennis Elbow: A comfortable grip absorbs shock, reducing strain on the elbow joint. Loss of Control: The right grip size and tackiness provide a secure hold, allowing players to swing with confidence. Fatigue: A comfortable grip reduces hand and wrist fatigue, allowing players to play longer and stronger. Early Adopters & Future Plans ASLP Air Group has been quietly working with a small group of professional tennis players and coaches for the past year, gathering feedback and refining their system. The results have been promising. Several players have reported significant improvements in their game after switching to ASLP Air Group grips. “We’re not looking to become a racket manufacturer,” Olsen emphasizes. “We want to be the go-to resource for grip sizing and optimization. We believe that a comfortable grip is the foundation of a good game, and we’re committed to helping players of all levels find their perfect fit.” ASLP Air Group plans to expand its product line in the coming months, offering a wider range of grip materials, colors, and profiles. They’re also exploring partnerships with racket manufacturers to offer custom grip options for new rackets.
