Natural Gut String

Natural gut string: you've heard some gossip about it, but is it really that good? The answer is a resounding YES. You may ask why… we'll explain and give you a chance to experience the difference for yourself. Bring a print out of this newsletter into the store and get $10 off your next natural gut restringing.**

So, why should you choose natural gut string? Because natural gut string:

* Maintains Tension

Compared to traditional synthetic string, the natural gut loses less tension, which means better control and performance.

* Has Natural Resiliency

With its natural resiliency, natural gut is far less demanding on the arm and elbow. Most oversize racquets are powerful, but stiff. Gut will absorb more vibration to make it more comfortable.

* Prevents Injury

This is the single best string for preventing injury to tennis players.

* Has High Durability

Natural gut is just as durable as synthetic gut. A new coating has also made this gut virtually waterproof.

We think you should try natural gut and feel the amazing difference. Don't forget: bring this into the store for $10 off your next natural gut restringing.**

WHAT'S HOT...

the New HEAD Youtek Speed Racquet

Novak Djokovic is the #1 player in the world. He is playing with the new HEAD Youtek Speed racquet - which you can demo right here at Boston Ski + Tennis.

HEAD has done some amazing things with their latest technology.

HEAD uses d3o™ which is a futuristic "smart" material with abnormal behavior characteristics. More specifically, d3o™ belongs to a subcategory of "dilatant foams", which dramatically change their behavior under dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the lay-up and positioned in the shaft of the racquet, d3o™ offers new possibilities for tennis players.

The d3o™ technology is able to sense the needs of the players during different strokes (it's able to adapt to you). On high-speed impacts (aggressive shots), the smart molecules lock together within nanoseconds and dramatically increase the stiffness of the whole racquet frame to provide maximum power. On slow-speed impacts (slice or drop shots), the d3o™ molecules absorb the impact to provide a softer touch for better feel. The results: passing shots are even harder and drop shots more precise, rewarding your spontaneity and supporting your courageous decisions.

Come in to demo the new HEAD Youtek Speed series - and feel like Novak for a day!

We want to help you get set for fashion success out on the court. Bring a print out of this newsletter into the store for 20% off your next tennis apparel purchase.** That's a great way to get started, but the BS+T Fashion Police want to know: are you wearing the correct apparel while playing?

Believe it or not, it's not just about how good you look. Your clothing can give you a distinct advantage if it performs well on court, too. Given the hot and steamy weather we've had lately, you need to make sure your clothing has these three components:

* Moisture Management

Breathability cannot be underestimated. Make sure your fabric wicks away the moisture and provides proper ventilation. This will help you avoid overheating.

* Sun Protection

Many fabrics today provide UV sun protection, helping to avoid skin damage and painful burns. Some fabrics we carry at Boston Ski + Tennis block over 90% of the sun's rays.

* Anti-Microbial Protection

This helps reduce odor. Smell good and feel refreshed after your big win on the court!

Keep these essentials in mind and you'll be playing and looking your best. Visit us today to save 20% on your next tennis apparel purchase** with this newsletter.
