Don't Leave Racquet in The Car

With the hottest month of the year now upon us (at least in the northern hemisphere), it is very important not to leave your tennis racquets in the car. Synthetic strings begin to lose tension at about 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). On a sunny, 90 degree F (32 degrees C) day, the temperature inside your car can soar to as much as 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) which is hot enough to even soften the resins in a frame and distort the racquet. If you are planning a game after work, take your racquet into the office; do not leave it in the car!
