Celebrating 150 years of the racquet sports brand for champions—Babolat
A century and a half ago, Babolat began as a family business in Lyon, France, venturing into the world of sports when tennis and badminton were still in their infancy. Since then, Babolat has evolved techniques, developed innovations, and supported athletes to become the leader of racquet-sports equipment and technical equipment for racquet preparation professionals. Perfect Matchis a beautifully illustrated book celebrating that history.
Featuring images of players on the court alongside their words and stories, readers will bear witness to the ongoing relationship between athletes and the household name in sporting equipment. Researchers and designers also share a peek inside the manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished product.
Perfect Match is a necessary book for sports fans, honoring the choice of champions playing at the world’s most prestigious badminton, tennis, pickleball, and padel competitions.
