Only 50 of these special Tennis Mentor inspired Sabers exist worldwide. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Each Saber is individually numbered, making every racket truly one of a kind.
This isn’t just Ashley’s name on a Saber. He worked closely with Functional Tennis throughout the design process, helping create a unique colourway and custom details that make this edition unmistakably his.
Every order comes with a free set of our popular mini reaction balls, perfect for sharpening reflexes and adding fun to your warmups. (White and Blue balls will be provided)
Use the Saber to help you get to really feel the sweetspot through contact and get that sweet sound when you make the perfect connection.
Generate your normal level of spin without needing to change your grip or adjust your swing pattern.
Its super soft feel allows you to play for hours as well as take on other people with a saber for some mini battles.
Check out Wawrinka, Hurkacz, Karatsev, Djokovic, Udvardy and 2 amazing 10 years using the saber.

Yes it comes strung.
Of course, it can 😉
It can be strung in all manual machines and most automatic machines. If available we recommend you use the badminton kit on automatic machines but this is not necessary.
Unfortunately, we won't.
We have not tested on this colour and couldn't risk testing with such small quantities in case it didn't work out.
Recommended String Tension
