Fischer's Magnetic Speed tennis racquet won't fix your forehand, but hit the sweet spot, and you'll feel the difference. During normal play, a racquet's frame deforms slightly on impact before springing back. With the M-Speed, two unipolar magnets positioned in opposite sides of the head help speed the recovery so the ball is catapulted back over the net with extra oomph. Anna-Lena Groenefeld of Germany and other pros compete with it. Tennis anyone?
