Piezoelectric Tennis Rackets

morcheeba writes "EETimes has an article on a piezoelectric tennis racket made by Head Sport AG. It uses piezoelectric fibers to damp vibrations and, due to regulations, it doesn't contain a battery. Although it's been out a while, it's now gaining credibility with professionals and has made it into the quarterfinals of the French Open."

    Anybody that plays a sport and uses the most up to date, expensive high-tech equipment is just follower, and really doesn't know how to play. A lot of racquet sports changed racquet sizes years ago, they are bigger now, but I still use my old trusty racquet, because it is not how big something is, it is how you use it.
    A bigger better piece of equipment will not help you play unless you totally suck, you need to learn your own style, and sweet spots on your equipment.

    Thats the reason I have no respect for more then 90% of (non-pro) golfers out there.

    Sir, your goatse.cx site is offensive and derogatory to women. By showing a man acting the accepted social role of a woman and exposing his body as a mere sex object, you perpetuate the violence of patriarchy.

    Your male hegemony of pervasive sexualized violence cannot silence me, you silly troll. The more you threaten me, the stronger my point stands, you fucking rapist.

    This feminist-nazi rhetoric is tiresome. Please venture over to vegdot and post there where your ramblings will be read with clitoris rubbing pleasure.
