YOU ARE INVITED


After months of planning & dreaming, we burst onto the tennis scene in Atlanta in late 2005 but we were quite unprepared for the THANKS BUT NO THANKS reaction we received from the tennis community. Like it or not, we were essentially out of business before we were even it. :(

We went to our very first tournament @ the Racquet Club of the South in January 2006 to meet the tennis community & to share what we thought was a brilliant idea: stroke analysis services for players before or after the tournament. Instead, we quickly learned that players enter a tournament to play the tournament & they have ZERO INTEREST in analyzing their strokes at that time. Bummerrrrrrr.

Then a mother in a mink asked Danny to videotape her daughter's match... BINGO!! And the rest is history! Well, not quite. We were asking people to think outside the box but not everyone was open to it. In fact, we encountered unbelievable resistance wherever we went... ugh.



It was a struggle back in the early days <actually, it's still a struggle but for different reasons, LOL> but things began to change for the better when we met 16 very special people who "GOT" it: 
  • Greg Amerson
  • Turhan Berne
  • Eric Dobsha
  • Duey Evans
  • James Harrell
  • Torrey Hawkins
  • Joe Hill
  • John Irvin
  • Luke Jensen
  • Craig Jones
  • David Marquina
  • Chris Mather
  • Fred Myles
  • Jason Parker
  • Bryan Shephard
  • Jeff Weaver
Each of you believed in us before we even knew who we were & did what you could to lend early support... & WE'VE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT. We know we'd never be where we are if you hadn't done what you did when you did it!!
