Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)

While performance is often the primary consideration for sports equipment design, players and manufacturers seek additional routes to differentiate their equipment from the alternatives. Understanding the human-equipment interaction, specifically perception of feel and control, will be critical to improving equipment design. Studies have been conducted in other sports; however, limited work has been done in tennis rackets.
