Tennis net center strap for measuring and holding net at certain height

摘要

A tennis net strap designed for professional tour-level applications that both measures and securely holds center of tennis net at regulation height above court is described. Strap is of minimally stretching material and employs “hidden” buckle system and hook and loop swatches. A sewn measuring mark indicates when strap is fastened at correct height. On measurement end of strap, a tab keeps strap end clean and from fraying. A single-end snap clip anchors strap to court. Both sides of the installed strap are fastened together through net to integrate strap with net and avoid false “let” calls made by electronic vibration or optical monitors. All fasteners are internal to the installed strap; no distracting buckles are visible, so the appearance of the strap is that of a clean, white line.
