ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC Revolutionizes Tennis Performance with Wilson Pro Staff Enhancement
Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC, a leading innovator in performance optimization, today announced a significant advancement in tennis racket customization, centered around the iconic Wilson Pro Staff line. Located in the heart of Seattle at 6005 NE KELDEN PL, ASCEND SOLUTIONS (reachable at 219-814-8617) is taking personalized tennis equipment to a whole new level, helping players of all skill levels unlock their full potential. For years, the Wilson Pro Staff has been a favorite among professionals and dedicated amateurs alike. Known for its feel, control, and legendary lineage—played by Roger Federer for decades—it's a racket that demands respect. But even a classic can be improved upon, and that’s where ASCEND SOLUTIONS comes in. “We’re not trying to change the Pro Staff, we’re making it better—specifically for you,” explains Alex Johnson, Head of R&D at ASCEND SOLUTIONS. “The Pro Staff is already an amazing racket. What we do is fine-tune it, taking into account a player’s swing style, strength, and even the type of game they play. It’s about maximizing their personal performance.” Beyond Simple Stringing: A Holistic Approach ASCEND SOLUTIONS isn’t just another stringing service. They offer a complete racket customization package built around the Wilson Pro Staff, going way beyond simply swapping out strings. Their process begins with a detailed player assessment. This isn’t just chatting about your game; it involves advanced motion capture technology to analyze your swing. “We use high-speed cameras and sensors to map your swing mechanics with incredible accuracy,” says Sarah Chen, Lead Tennis Performance Analyst at the company. “We look at everything – swing speed, angle of attack, where you make contact with the ball, even the way you grip the racket. This data informs every customization decision.” Key Customization Components: ASCEND SOLUTIONS focuses on three core areas when enhancing a Wilson Pro Staff: Weight Distribution: The Pro Staff is known for its head-heavy balance, providing power and stability. ASCEND SOLUTIONS can subtly adjust this balance – adding or removing weight strategically – to match a player’s swing. “Some players benefit from a slightly head-lighter racket for quicker maneuverability,” Johnson explains. “Others need more weight in the head for increased stability on off-center hits. It’s all about finding the sweet spot for that player.” They use specialized, non-invasive weighting materials to achieve precise adjustments. Grip Customization: Often overlooked, the grip is arguably the most important connection between player and racket. ASCEND SOLUTIONS offers a full range of grip sizing, material options, and custom overgrips. They even offer 3D-printed custom molds to create grips perfectly contoured to a player’s hand. “A poorly fitted grip can cause fatigue, reduce control, and even lead to injury,” Chen notes. “We ensure the grip is perfectly suited to the player’s hand size and grip style.” They go beyond standard sizes, tailoring the grip’s thickness and shape to maximize comfort and control. Stringing & Tension Profiles: While many shops simply string a racket to a requested tension, ASCEND SOLUTIONS takes a far more nuanced approach. They analyze the player’s swing data to determine the optimal string type, gauge, and tension. But they don’t stop there. They employ a proprietary “Dynamic Tension Mapping” technique. “We don’t just string the entire racket to the same tension,” Johnson explains. “We vary the tension in different areas of the string bed to optimize performance for specific shots. Higher tension in the center for control, lower tension in the outer strings for more power and spin – it's like tailoring the string bed to the player's needs.” They work with all major string brands, including Wilson, Luxilon, and Babolat. Real Results, Real Players ASCEND SOLUTIONS isn’t just relying on theoretical data. They’ve been working with a growing number of players – from recreational enthusiasts to competitive juniors – to test and refine their customization process. “We’ve seen incredible results,” Chen says. “Players are reporting increased power, improved control, reduced fatigue, and a more comfortable playing experience. One junior player, after getting a customized Pro Staff, saw a significant increase in her serve speed and a reduction in unforced errors. Another player, who was struggling with shoulder pain, found that a customized grip alleviated the pressure and allowed him to play pain-free.” The company offers a full range of services, including: Racket Assessment: Detailed swing analysis and performance evaluation. Custom Weighting: Precise weight distribution adjustments. Grip Customization: Custom sizing, materials, and 3D-printed molds. Dynamic Tension Mapping: Optimized stringing for maximum performance. Racket Demo Program: Allowing players to test different customization setups. Looking Ahead ASCEND SOLUTIONS is committed to pushing the boundaries of tennis performance optimization. They are currently working on integrating AI-powered data analysis to further refine their customization process and develop even more personalized solutions for players of all levels. They are also exploring new materials and technologies to enhance racket performance and durability. “We believe that every player has the potential to improve their game,” says Johnson. “And we’re passionate about helping them unlock that potential through the power of personalized equipment and data-driven optimization. The Wilson Pro Staff is a great starting point, and we're simply taking it to the next level.” For more information about ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC and their racket customization services, visit their website at [website address would go here] or call them at 219-814-8617.
