Celebrating 10 Years of Functional Tennis
Ten years of tennis content, conversations, products and community.
A message from Fabio
This Saber celebrates far more than a product.
Functional Tennis turns ten this year, and I don’t think I’ve ever properly stopped to celebrate everything that has happened along the way.
What began as an Instagram account has grown into a worldwide community of more than one million tennis followers, over 15,000 videos, more than 260 podcast episodes, visits to tournaments around the world and conversations with so many brilliant players, coaches and people throughout tennis.
A huge part of that journey has been made possible by the people who send us footage, help us create content, share moments from tournaments and keep Functional Tennis connected to the game around the world.
Along the way, Functional Tennis has also become the Wooden Spoon, our journals, the Saber and many other ideas—all created through a genuine love of tennis.
None of this would have happened without the people who have followed Functional Tennis, listened to the podcast, shared our content, bought our products and supported what we do.
This anniversary Saber celebrates that entire journey—and everyone who has been part of it.
Thank you for helping Functional Tennis reach ten years.

FAQS
Yes the 10 year anniversary is limited to 100 Sabers and once sold out it will not be available again.
- 300 grams unstrung
- 312 grams strung
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
Poly 13.5 KG / 30 lbs
It takes just under 5.5 metres to restring so we recommend you cut 6 metres of string.
A normal set of strings is 12 metres so you will get 2 restring from your normal set 😀
Yes, we do. Currently, we have shipped sabers to over 95 countries since its launch in 2022.
We have a standard tracked available to some countries (North America, Europe, UK) and UPS available to all others.
Depending on the country we have other options also available, please go to checkout to see options.
Finally we have recently negioated new UPS rates and in countries outside of Europe we now have a 50% reduction in shipping costs.
If ordering a Melbourne edition for outside of Europe I recommend the UPS shipping option.
