Welcome!

This is Racket Sensei, a tennis racket site designed for Seaside Rackets. Pictured to the left is Yonex professional tennis player, Elena Dementieva, who is #5 in the world and was the 2008 Beijing Olympics Gold Medalist in Singles.

Dementieva uses a control racket. She provides sufficient power and has fast swing speed on her groundstrokes. Her RDiS100 MidPlus is a top-selling Yonex racket that is appropriate for aggressive strikers of the ball.

Seaside Rackets and Yonex

Seaside Rackets has a close relationship with Yonex, the Japanese manufacturer of premium Tennis, Badminton, and Golf products. In the photo to the left you can see us operating the Yonex booth at the La Costa Resort in 2007. This year's WTA Tournament, the 2010 Mercury Insurance Open, ran from July 31-Aug 8, 2010.

Yonex gave each customer who purchased any Yonex adult racket during the tournament a 6-racket bag, 3-pack of overgrips, and a Yonex hat.
