Testimonials
Hayden Fulstone (Liquid IV, Co-Founder)
"I'm a big fan of Spec Tennis."
Adam Bain (Former COO, Twitter)
"I think Spec Tennis is absolutely fantastic."
Peter Smith (Former USC Tennis Coach)
"Players have to hit through the ball, so it creates really good habits."
I like all aspects of Spec Tennis, and think that tennis needs something like this especially at the entry level. I haven’t liked how the ROGY (Red, Orange, Green, Yellow) pathway has played out—because the racquets are too lively and kids just poke at the ball. With Spec Tennis, you use a paddle which teaches kids to hit through the ball, and you use the pickleball court, so real estate has already been created and is growing exponentially.
I use Spec Tennis a lot with my juniors, because making them learn to keep the ball under control in a confined space like a pickleball court, I believe that’s the way forward in junior development of tennis.
Spec Tennis is more social than tennis, not as loud as pickleball, and all around a very pleasant sporting & social experience.
Spec Tennis has helped me build a total racquet sports program at the Charter Oak Country Club. It give me the chance to introduce people who have never played tennis before a chance to get the tennis experience and become real tennis fans. Spec Tennis has also been a huge success in my summer camps.
Spec Tennis gives us a chance to keep all of our players active, especially for those who are just starting tennis, they can have success a lot faster using Spec Tennis and then we can transition them to the full court tennis court game as they grow and develop.
