SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE, PLEASE READ ON...
I started playing tennis at the age of 5, started stringing racquets at the age of 13 and have been a tennis coach since I was 18. I've strung thousands of racquets for private clients, specialist tennis stores, and have been a stringer at elite national level tournaments. In my time stringing racquets, I developed a passion for racquets, seeing every rac
quet as a very special and individual tool with individual taste of strings, grips, and tensions. I have never EVER seen two identical racquets from two different people, as despite many using the same frame, everybody has their own choice of grips, strings, string tensions, shock absorbers etc. This got me thinking, at around the age of 18, that surely you could also modify the racquet itself to your individual needs. I began to get my own racquets professionally customised and for the first time, i was beating players in tournaments who I'd never beaten before. Weights, precisely placed at specific points on my racquets, enhanced my game and technique by enabling faster, cleaner racquet head speed, and more weight behind my shots. I began to add to the modifications which others had done to my racquets, adding a quarter of a gram at a time and realising what a difference this tiny adjustment had made. I eventually did some studies in biomechanics at university. This opened my mind to how individual each and every player is. It baffled me why thousands of players around the world, all different ages, heights, strength levels, techniques, and physical make-ups would use the same racquet, bought off the shelf worldwide. This new knowledge, combined with over a decade playing at national level, and coaching high performance players, prompted me to purchase my own machinery to allow me to customise racquets. I have never advertised this customising business, only gained more customers through word of mouth from the quality racquets (and results) that my work had provided for players. The work has been so productive, that I have spent time with some of our country's best players, including working with Jordan Thompson, Australian Davis Cup squad member. Please 'like' my page, as this will be your go-to place to contact me for racquet modifications, or learn lots of wonderful and weird things about racquets. I will keep updates of interesting racquet facts, and players' results from around the country and the world who are using racquets modified by Lalic Tennis. Please send me a private message for any information or to book your racquets in. I am also currently accepting new lessons in the Hunter region, NSW, if you are interested in having a tennis lesson with me - send me a message. I coach all levels and ages of players, from beginners through to high performance. Lastly, I am interested in sponsoring up-and-coming elite juniors, touring pro's, as well as coaches. If you are interested, please send me a brief resume including age, current ranking, and top 10 results/achievements in the last 12 months. I hope to work with you & your racquets soon.
