Tennis Lounge Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture), which operates tennis schools nationwide, launched sales of a self-developed original racket on its official online shop starting Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
This product is a rebranded version of a massively popular model that [sold out 100 units in just 2 hours] on the crowdfunding platform 'Makuake'.
Along with the launch, we will hold a 'New Life Support Campaign' until Wednesday, April 15, to support those who are starting tennis anew.

By proposing a racket in an affordable price range while firmly guaranteeing quality, we want to encourage that one step of 'maybe I should give it a try'.

The base of this product is a model that was previously sold in advance on 'Makuake' and recorded an achievement rate exceeding 4996%.
