The FT99 is the first match racket from Functional Tennis.
It was built as a natural extension of the Saber and the training philosophy behind it: better habits, cleaner contact, and trust in your swing.
I created the Saber because I cared deeply about helping players strike the ball more cleanly and more consistently. That thinking did not change when building The FT99.
The FT99 is designed to reward timing, commitment, and disciplined swings. It feels balanced, predictable, and easy to trust when the rally speeds up.
Just like the Saber, the FT99 is built around control and feel rather than shortcuts. It moves easily through the air, stays composed under pressure, and behaves the same way point after point.
This is a performance tennis racket for players who want their equipment to reinforce good habits and support confident decision making on court.
Less hype. More trust.
How it plays
The FT99 is designed to feel predictable and composed across all areas of the court. It rewards committed swings and stays consistent as the pace increases.
Control
The response off the string bed is clean and predictable. The launch stays controlled, helping you trust your targets and swing freely without second guessing.
Feel
Contact feels solid and connected. Feedback is clear without being harsh, giving you a good sense of where the ball meets the strings.
Spin
Spin comes from racquet head speed rather than artificial lift. The frame supports modern swings while keeping trajectories controlled.
Stability
The racket holds its shape well against pace and stays composed on defensive shots and returns.
Serve and return
On serve, the FT99 feels accurate and reliable. On return, it remains stable when timing is rushed and decisions need to be made quickly.
