if you play four times a week and go through shoes like they're grip tape, On built this one with you in mind.

the Roger Pro Fire is heavier and tougher than the Pro 2 on purpose. reinforced where sliding does the damage, caged through the midfoot, planted when you brake hard.

not everyone who quits poly needs to give it up completely. sometimes, they just need a hybrid.

poly in the mains keeps the spin and control while a softer cross adds some give. flip the setup, and softer mains lead with comfort and power while poly crosses bring back spin and control.

these two setups approach that balance from opposite directions. the right one depends entirely on what your arm and your game are telling you.

come in and we’ll figure it out together 💪

buying a racket online is a coin flip dressed up as research. plenty of those reviews are solid. you still don't know whether an MRT ever touched the thing, and a review can't ask you a single question about your game.

come in instead. we'll ask what you're playing with, what you want more of, and what's been feeling off. then you demo the ones that make sense before you spend a dollar.

every frame on our wall is demo ready. swipe through, then come find yours 🔬

your racket does not need an overnight stay. it needs about the length of one good conversation and then it's yours again 🔬

this is from the day they filmed The D**k at the old shop. Andy Roddick was there, our crew kept stringing, and somebody grabbed this between takes.

it's on Apple TV now, which means the old location is officially preserved in high definition forever. we didn't plan it that way but we'll take it 🎾

when Luxilon’s polyester strings arrived on tour, the ball started diving back inside the lines in ways players hadn’t seen before. Pete Sampras reportedly called it “Cheatalon.”

ALU Power debuted in 1994. More than 30 years and countless attempts to recreate it later, it remains one of the most-played strings on the professional tours.

Luxilon ALU Power 1.25 is on the wall. we’ll put it in your frame 🔬

a track coach handed a 14 year old kid named Randy Kramer a racket with the name Kramer stamped on it and said try this, you may like it. nobody in that moment thought it was the beginning of anything.

that hunch turned into a 55 year obsession that earned a guy the nickname string surgeon and eventually put a Los Angeles stringer in front of Washington, fighting manufacturers over fair pricing for players like you.

nine slides. worth the swipe 🎾
