Product Overview

SandEver beach tennis rackets are engineered for play on sandy courts where impact forces differ from grass or hard surfaces. The frame geometry balances swing speed with stability, reducing vibration transfer to the wrist during fast volleys. Each racket undergoes a molding process that maintains consistent wall thickness across the hoop, which helps preserve string bed uniformity under varying sand conditions.

Key Technical Specifications

Material Selection Rationale

The frame uses a high‑modulus graphite layup with a 30% fiber volume fraction in the hoop and 20% in the shaft, providing a tensile modulus above 230 GPa while keeping density near 1.55 g/cm³. This combination yields a high stiffness‑to‑weight ratio, essential for generating power without excessive mass that would hinder maneuverability on soft sand. The throat area incorporates a Kevlar‑reinforced patch to resist hoop deformation during off‑center hits.

The grip core is made from ethylene‑vinyl acetate (EVA) with a Shore A hardness of 45, overlaid with a polyurethane leather‑like finish that offers moisture resistance and a consistent feel after prolonged exposure to sand and sweat.

Design Features for Beach Play

• Aero‑beam cross‑section reduces drag, allowing faster swing speeds in windy beach conditions.
• Reinforced grommet holes use stainless‑steel inserts to prevent sand abrasion damage to strings.
• Sanded‑surface paint finish increases friction between racket and sand, reducing slip during low‑angle shots.
• Vibration dampening pads are integrated into the handle via silicone inserts rated at 35 Shore A, attenuating frequencies above 150 Hz.

Applications in Coastal Sports Facilities

Beach tennis courts require equipment that tolerates abrasive particles, high humidity, and frequent temperature swings. SandEver rackets meet these demands through a sealed frame edge that prevents sand ingress, and a UV‑stable coating that resists degradation from prolonged sun exposure. Facilities hosting tournaments benefit from the consistent performance across multiple matches, as the racket’s stiffness variation remains under 2% after 50 hours of simulated play.

Coaches and training centers select these rackets for junior development programs because the weight range can be fine‑tuned via interchangeable weight plugs (2 g, 4 g, 6 g) located in the handle cavity, allowing progressive load adjustment as players strengthen.

Quality Control & Testing

Each production lot undergoes three‑point bend testing to verify flexural modulus, with acceptance criteria set at 220 GPa ± 10 GPa. Impact resistance is evaluated using a 20 mm steel ball dropped from 1 m onto the racket face; peak force must remain below 3.5 kN to ensure no frame cracking. String bed uniformity is checked via a laser‑scanned grid, confirming tension variation under ±0.5 lb across the hitting area.

Visual inspection includes 10x magnification for surface defects, and dimensional verification uses CMM checks on length, width, and grip circumference. All test results are recorded in a traceable batch record linked to the serial number range.

Customization Options

• Frame color: matte black, ocean blue, sand beige, or custom Pantone.
• Grip size adjustment via interchangeable pallets (4 ⅛ in to 4 ⅝ in).
• Weight plug kits for total mass tuning (± 10 g).
• String pattern: 16×19 or 18×20, with optional reinforced grommets.
• Logo placement: laser‑etched on throat or silk‑screened on shaft.

Packaging & Logistics

Rackets are packed in individual corrugated sleeves with 3 mm polyethylene foam end caps to protect the head and handle. Each sleeve is placed in a master carton of 10 units, featuring double‑wall construction and a water‑resistant coating. Cartons are marked with handling labels indicating “Keep Dry” and “This Side Up”.

For bulk orders, palletized shipments use ISPM‑15 compliant wooden pallets, stretch‑wrapped with UV‑stable film. Typical lead time from order confirmation to ex‑works dispatch is 20‑25 days, subject to component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dimensions be customized?

Yes, overall length, head width, and grip circumference can be adjusted within ± 5 mm to meet specific player preferences or regional regulations.

What information is required before quotation?

Please provide desired quantity, target delivery date, any customization details (color, grip size, weight plugs, string pattern), and preferred incoterms.

What materials are available for the frame?

Standard offering is high‑modulus graphite composite; alternatives include graphite‑glass hybrid or basalt‑reinforced layup, available upon request.

How is quality inspected?

Each lot undergoes flexural modulus, impact resistance, string bed uniformity, and dimensional checks as described in the Quality Control section.

What packaging methods are available?

Standard packaging is individual foam‑sleeved units in master cartons; options include single‑wall cartons, reusable hard cases, or bulk pallet packs with protective corner boards.

How are export shipments protected?

Shipments use water‑resistant carton coating, stretch‑wrap on pallets, and corner board reinforcement to prevent edge damage during handling.

What is the typical production lead time?

Lead time ranges from 20 to 28 days depending on order size and customization complexity.

How are samples arranged?

Sample rackets can be dispatched via express coupons; the customer covers shipping fees, which are credited upon subsequent order placement.
