The net system of both ATP and WTA tours
This revolutionary multi-functional patented system provides
a more reliable and modern method of detecting the service let.
Now in its seventh year covering the entire ATP Tour,
and our first year covering the entire WTA Tour,
our wireless Net System provides several innovative features never before available in tennis ,
including monitoring and controlling all aspects of the net in real time during a match
(Net Tension Regulation, Shot Clock, Ball Mark Inspection, Start of Point, Centerstrap monitoring, etc)

Tennis Net Tension Regulation System
(integrated into the Let Detection System)
The tennis net is a wholly overlooked and underestimated aspect of a tennis court,
and getting a uniform net tension has historically been guesswork. Until now.
As described in the patent applications, this ingenius new system will allow the tension of tennis nets
to be accurately measured, allowing a consistent and uniform tension tournament by tournament, court by court,
and even hour by hour as nets on outdoor courts are often taken down and put back up
during inclement weather and/or during joint ATP/WTA events.
As net tension determines the exact net height (across the majority of the player area),
ensuring the same net tension also ensures the same net height.
Our method is easy, quick and non-invasive, avoiding any need to modify or changing existing net posts.
Works on ALL nets, regardless of the type of net posts
Finally, through Group One, there is a convenient means to quantitively measure the exact net tension,
determine the most appropriate tension, and then have it uniformly implemented throughout tennis.
Tennis Hard Court Mobile Drying System
The scene is not uncommon- a rain delay during a hard court tennis match and then when the rain lets up, unlike clay or even grass courts, play is still impossible until the court is totally dry, often with the peculiar scene of the lines dried by a dozen or so ballkids dragging a white towel with their foot.
All while invaluable TV coverage of the match continues to wait for resumption of play and a logistical nightmare for tournament organizer's match schedules.
Finally, through Group One, a system which is designed specifically for tennis hard courts, which will dry a court in minutes and which is, critically, mobile and will not damage the court. Yet another innovation in tennis by Group One, as we increasingly focus our attention on improvements in tennis.

NEW! Tennis Single Stick Net Cord Support NEW!
Yet another new Group One innovation in tennis,
solving a long standing problem with an elegant and simple solution.
The single stick can be an awkward part of the tennis court. Typically, a single stick is placed at 91.4cm outside the singles line where the net cord must be at the required 107cm height. However, due to the net band, the net cord does not come in direct contact with the single stick, as the band bunches up under the net cord, causing it to be higher than the 107cm mandated rule. And the unslightly bump of the net band as it extends too high up (beyond the 2.5cm limit). Thus two ITF Rules of Tennis breached.
Our solution keeps the net cord at the exact 107cm height, locks the single stick so it cannot fall off, ensures no part of the single stick or net band above the maximum 2.5cm over the 107cm height, and looks infinitely better.
A clean aesthetic look with needed functionality.
This invention also includes a unique new 'net lock' to better
prevent excessive net movement during extreme wind

Match Data Forensics
This tennis integrity monitoring system provides a four prong approach
using advanced algorithms (AI) for detection (cure) of match fixing
and providing a means of deterrence (prevention).
Tennis Court Cord Management System
This innovative patent-pending system, especially designed for tennis, is much superior, both in function
and appearance, than current manners of dealing with all the cords, wires, and cables which are employed in
professional tennis tournaments, including all cables connected on the chair umpire stand.
Our system will keep these cables tidy and well managed (that is to say, out of sight).

Elliptical Trainer Stride Adjustment System
A new improved elliptical trainer which automatically while in use will accurately reflect the type of course/terrain program chosen by the user, adjusting the stride lengths and resistance, thus providing a more realistic, vastly improved workout.
Golf Secure-a-Tee™
Often, golfers can go through large quantities of tees when training at a driving range with a driver. Our system solves this problem, while creating excellent advertising opportunities. Practice with security!
Baseball Bat Warm Up Invention
Baseball batters require a warm up prior to stepping up to the plate. Often, batters employ the inefficient, even counterproductive, use of bat weights, or swing more than one bat, to create more muscle resistance. Our new system provides for a much improved warm up for baseball batters by using our invention which employs simple physics.
Sneaker lace lock system
Our new and innovative lace lock system insures maintaining a snug fit for sport shoes even during the most strenuous exercise.
Bicycle Seat Innovation
A new innovation specifically targeted for racing, creating a more comfortable and more efficient seat for competitive riding.
Golf Club re-Member
It has happened to all of us. We take our putter with us when we need to make a chip shot right off the green, lay the club down, putt, and then walk off forgetting the club!
Or we go to the tee with two clubs to chose from, lay one down, then head down the fairway leaving the second club behind. Hopefully, someone will pick it up and we'll get it back sometime later. Sometimes not.
Our invention? A simple but ingenuous way to make sure you never leave a club behind!
