What to get the tennis player who has it all?
It’s a yearly thing. Father’s Day rolls around, and like clockwork, you forget every single thing your dad has ever wanted. We don’t know what it is about dads that makes them so hard to shop for or why it’s a universal experience for us to all blank when the time comes to get them a gift. But we do know one thing: If your old man is a lover of the great sport of tennis, we know the perfect gift.
A New Racquet
Gifting your dad a new tennis racquet can be a game-changer, literally. Consider high-quality options like the Yonex VCORE 100 that won’t get busted up as easily as that old one he’s been swinging around. Is it from the eighties? Who knows. But it’s time for a refresh either way. Get the man of the hour something with exceptional balance and power, making it great for both casual and competitive play.
A new racquet can help improve your dad's game, providing better control for more comfortable play. The technology in modern racquets also allows for greater power without sacrificing precision, meaning Dad can hit those winning shots with more confidence.
New Tennis Shoes
A pair of high-quality tennis shoes can make a huge difference in your dad's game. With no more sore soles after a day running around the court, he can feel spry, young, and alive the whole match. With shoes designed to provide excellent support, cushioning, and durability, he’ll be perfectly prepared for all the quick movements and pivots required in tennis.
Invest in a pair with advanced cushioning systems, and consider those found in ASICS tennis shoes, which reduce impact on the joints, allowing for longer, more enjoyable playing sessions. The improved grip and stability can help prevent slips and falls, reducing the risk of injury. Plus, you might even opt for shoes that come with breathable materials that keep the feet cool and dry, even during intense matches. Gifting your dad a new pair of tennis shoes shows you care about his health and enjoyment on the court, making it a thoughtful and practical Father's Day gift.
A Tennis Bag
Fathers tend to use their equipment into the ground. Why? Because back in the day, the products they invested in were built to last. Nowadays… not so much. Chances are the bag he’s using now isn’t the quality it should be. Father’s Day really is the perfect opportunity for you to step in and gift him something new that’ll last years to come.
A stylish and functional tennis racquet bag is just that perfect gift, and The Rocket is the one that’ll truly stand the test of time. Designed to carry multiple racquets along with additional compartments for tennis balls, water bottles, shoes, and other accessories, The Rocket is built intentionally for ease of use and longevity. It even has a thermal-lined pocket for you and him to store some snacks for your mid-game break. Pair it with some Lululemon men's tennis shirts to complete the look.
The separate compartments ensure that racquets are kept safe from scratches, while the additional pockets allow for easy access to all his tennis essentials. This gift combines style and practicality, showing your dad that you appreciate his love for the game and want to support his passion with something as strong as he is that’ll always, always be there for you.
A Gift Box of Tennis Gear Accessories
For a gift that's both thoughtful and practical, you could even start putting together a gift box filled with essential tennis accessories. Throw in some tennis balls, grip tape, wristbands, sweatbands, and a water bottle— You could even include a few fun extras like a tennis-themed towel or a personalized keychain with his initials or an inside joke between the two of you.
A gift box is perfect for the dad who already has it all but could use a few extra gadgets and goodies. Plus, who doesn’t love opening up multiple little gifts?
A Day Together
Sometimes the best gift you can give isn’t even a gift at all. When it comes down to it, what our fathers really want more than anything in the world is to spend time with us. So grab your new Yonex VCORE 100 racquet, put on your favorite ASICS shoes, pack some snacks, and hit the court with the man who made everything in your life possible.
This type of quality time on the court is your chance to connect and enjoy each other's company away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Chances are you’ll look back on this day with fondness for years to come. (Unless he beats you. You can’t let that happen. You’ll never hear the end of it)
Ready To Make This Father’s Day Special?
Whatever route you take this Father’s Day, you’ll be giving a gift that reflects your dad's love for tennis, for you, and for your lives together. Celebrate the bond you share through tennis and create some unforgettable memories out in the sun that will last a lifetime.
It doesn’t matter if your days on the court together started when you were little or if your relationship with the game is new; he’s always going to be our first coach. And truly the most important one we’ll ever have for the rest of our lives.
