Zusammenfassung:The News: At a time when many people's thoughts would be turning toward retirement, Harry Ferrari is patenting an improved irradiation technology for an elastic nylon racquet string which he believes can outplay natural gut. It's part of Gamma Sports, the tennis string and grip manufacturing company he founded in his basement following the loss of a local tournament in 1974.
