The Schlesinger brand was born in 1881 and has a royal temperament since birth. Since 1902, Schlesinger Tennis has been the exclusive ball of the Royal All England Lawn Tennis Club. It is also the only official ball of Wimbledon. It is the oldest partner in the history of global sports sponsorship and the pride of Britain. The world's flagship tennis brand.
118 years ago, every Wimbledon season, the Schlesinger match ball selected for the event will become the focus of global attention, and loyal Leopard fans will express their most creative feelings The infinite love in the heart, either on the scene or in front of the screen, accompanies every move of the tennis idols, paying attention and saluting.
So, what is the difference between the live competition version of Schlesinger Wimbledon and the ordinary commercial version?
First of all, each tennis ball must be strictly weighed and sized to ensure that the weight and diameter of each ball are consistent. Taking the weight as an example, the entire must be around the weight of of about 58 grams. (ITFThe International Tennis Federation's specification for the weight of standard game balls is between 56.0g-59.4g)
Then, each ball is fed into the compressor, and the deformation of the ball is measured under pressure - approximately 4 milliseconds to observe Whether the rubber/ball pressure quickly returns to its original appearance, once the deformity is detected, it will be eliminated immediately, ensuring that the ball’s bounce height in the free fall experiment from a height of 24.5 meters to the concrete ground is between 13.462-14.732.
Next, the appearance and quality of the tennis balls are guaranteed. Schlesinger uses unique highlighting technology to increase the brightness of the fluff by 10% compared to standard tennis balls, making the ball look more recognizable. Because we only use New Zealand wool, this kind of ball There is great visibility to players and live spectators, even TV viewers, so they can more easily capture the trajectory of the ball.
Finally, tennis balls must be treated with Hydroguard waterproof technology to prevent rain during the game. S tennis balls are 70% more waterproof than standard tennis balls. As we all know, if there is a wet place on the court, the tennis ball will easily get wet when it touches it, causing the weight of the ball to increase. A new tennis ball weighing about 57.3 grams will be wetted with about 3.5 grams of water. A used old ball can be wet. As much as 6 grams of water is stained and the weight is increased by more than 10% than the original weight. This will greatly change the strength and feel of the player's hitting. Schlesinger's patented waterproof flannel can solve this problem very well, especially It was Wimbledon season in rainy Wimbledon.
The ball used in the main game must be stored in an ice bucket at 20 degrees Celsius to ensure that its physical properties are constant and in perfect condition during the game.
Schlesinger Tennis has been recognized as the world's top competition ball since its inception due to its excellent bouncing performance, stable flight trajectory, excellent waterproof performance, remarkable recognition ability and comfortable hitting feeling. One of the balls.
This year, Schlesinger provided 57,600 tennis balls to the Wimbledon organizing committee for competition. Each ball has been carefully selected (SPECICAL SELECT) and is of high quality. Due to the epidemic, Wimbledon in 2020 no longer exists, but the Wimbledon temple remains, and the noble temperament of Wimbledon will last forever. Fans of Schlesinger can also get a blessing in disguise. For the first time in the history of Wimbledon competition, the mystery is unveiled, and with the unique logo of 2020, they come to China and become tennis pilgrims' permanent thoughts on Wimbledon 2020.
