USTA STL Gobi Grip Demo Event

Temps were in the Mid to upper 90s, with high humidity and bright sunshine.

Challenging conditions, for sure, but Tennis players are a hardy bunch, and despite some cramping issues, many great matches were played. “Big G” (aka “The Geck”) made his debut and the heat didn’t seem to bother him at all (he is originally from the Gobi Desert). He helped us get the word out that Gobi Grip keeps you connected to your racket even under extreme conditions and was happy to pose for pictures with the Champion women’s doubles team. Also, some freakishly strong kid we are calling “Mr. 88” pulled a new record on our grip tester-> 88lbs (shattering the previous best of

78lbs)!.
