As someone who started playing competitive tennis by age 8, I owe a great deal of debt to René Lacoste and I didn’t even know it. Did you know he invented the tennis ball machine? Exactly, bow down.
Lacoste has gone back to their innovative roots with the limited edition L12 racket. This racquet took over three years of research to discover the unique combination of graphite and wood. It is not only sleek and sexy but tech savvy. The combination of old and new school materials results in a strong, stable, durable piece of equipment promising better control and ball speed. Each piece takes five hours to produce by a single craftsman in Albertville,France. Be sure to snap up one of the beauties as they are limited to only 650 units.
Set to release in April.
