Purchasing new balls is the largest expense tennis coaches face. Once the balls are removed from the pressurised tin, the internal air pressure starts to leak out. After 6-8 weeks they must be replaced as the balls no longer bounce to the required height. The basket allows balls to be stored back in a pressurised environment between sessions to prevent the loss of bounce.
The fast paced nature of Industrial Design excites me! A career with such a large opportunity to work on real life problems, across different creative fields and execute meaningful design solutions is incredibly motivating. I'm looking for a chance to be inquisitive and innovative, working in various stages of the development process, but most importantly challenge my design ability.
