VII.5 Tennis - miscellaneous
Advanced players improve their performance through a number of
accoutrements. Vibration dampeners may be interlaced in the proximal part of
the string array for improved feel. Racket handles may be customized with
absorbent or rubber-like materials to improve the players' grip. Players often use
sweat bands on their wrists to keep their hands dry and head bands or bandanas
to keep the sweat out of their eyes as well. Finally, although the game can be
played in a variety of shoes, specialized tennis shoes have wide, flat soles for
stability and a built-up front structure to avoid excess wear.
