"The Natural Two Handled Tennis Racket allows me to do things I could never do with a conventional racket... It has propelled me to a ATP world ranking of approximately 200 (at the age of 32) in doubles after only 1 year on tour. My previous high world ranking of around 800 was over 8 years ago when I was younger, faster, and stronger...
In addition, it is, without a doubt, the healthiest and safest racket to play with. I would not teach my two children tennis with any other racket in fear that they might develop many of the common ailments associated with sports that have repetitive lopsided movements. The Natural solves this problem by promoting players to be more balanced in using both sides of their bodies.

For many years I have dreamed of developing the ultimate innovative techniques and technology in the field of sports, health, and life. The benefits of "the Natural" racquet extend far beyond creating a strategic advantage on the tennis court. It is about working in harmony with the laws of nature, by creating a more balanced approach to the human body and mind. There is no doubt that the athlete of the future will reach new heights by applying these true principles.

"Coach Bob" Mitchell
Vice President of Marketing and Sales-Natural Tennis
In May of 2008 I was first introduced to the "Natural", a racquet technology I had never seen before, nor had ever even imagined. It was at a club where the Battistone brothers were seeded #1 in a pro tournament. They were the buzz with Brian's volleyball-style serve and both he and his brother Dann's two-handled racquets. I was immediately intrigued, being a tennis pro for over 30 years of my life. The more I thought about it, the more I was convinced that this was a giant step forward in racquet technology. I have been a teaching pro in the USPTA at the P1 level and I am quite certain I could develop any new player to the game much more easily and quickly with this racquet over the traditional one-handled racquet. I'm also quite sure this would be true for any instructor to do with his or her students, or even a player learning on his or her own.
The Battistone family and I nurtured our relationship over the next few months and we felt it would be mutually beneficial if I became the Director of Marketing and Sales. I feel our main focus should be to go through tennis pros who believe our racquet to be superior to the traditional one-handled racquet, and have the pros spread the word. We now have quite affordable titanium frames available for the junior players to get started with, as well as the top-of-the-line graphite frames. We welcome all of you pioneers to be part of the future of tennis.

"This tennis racquet is truly the only way to go...If you take a moment and watch people play hand ball, basket ball, drummers and swimmers, they are using both sides of their bodies equally it only makes sense to do the same in tennis. I would NEVER go back to a single handled racquet."

"I am still learning all of the dimensions of 'The Natural' but my favorite aspect so far is the extra split second it can give me when I get strecthed out wide, particularly on the return of serve."

"For me, the Natural has lived up to its name. I can hit with ease from
either side of my body, one- or two-handed. It gives me a whole new
perspective on tennis!"
