inPhorm NYC
inPhorm, known for its “simple elegance and classic” outfits for tennis, pickle ball and golf, is introducing vibrant colors of green and purple with deep blue to its holiday collection. We asked the creative director, Saad Hajidin, what inspired his color palettes this season? We called the two collections ‘Ivy & Imperial.’
This is a nod to Wimbledon. We’ve had the privilege of designing outfits for the members of the All England Tennis and Croquet Club (Wimbledon), and I have attended the Grand Slam tournament with a VIP pass. The club and the grounds were so mesmerizing that it stayed with me. When I designed the collections for this holiday, I wanted to elevate our tennis and golf looks with the green and purple colors that are inspired from my trip to Wimbledon. The styling for the collection is traditional and classic with a modern twist – – staying true to the DNA that inPhorm’s customers have come to expect from us.
“I was very careful when I used color block in some of the pieces to make sure that each color variation blends and compliments the others tastefully. In addition to the Ivy and Imperial, we also offer white in our classic collection that work well on their own or pair with the new collection.”
“inPhorm’s Holiday 2023 collection is replete with styles that translate from the daytime court or course to the evening’s activities — stylish tennis, pickle ball and golf looks that easily blend in at any occasion. In the last few months, inPhorm’s team has been engaged in conversations with its customers, gathering reviews of products, fits and functionality. We like to say that by listening to our customers, we Stay inPhormed,” Saad notes.

The ShockSorb

The RTP ShockSorb is perhaps the world’s most effective tennis shock absorber. Not just another decorative dampener, The ShockSorb is the only tennis dampener that incorporates Sorbothane, one of the world’s most absorbent materials.
If you have a tennis player in your family or group of friends that wears an arm brace while playing, struggles to avoid tendonitis or suffers from general elbow discomfort as a result of playing tennis, The ShockSorb may allow them more comfort, less pain and more opportunities to play the sport they love.
This Holiday Season, you could gift a loved one the chance to get more out of their time on the tennis court, and ensure they don’t have to spend too much time recovering off the court.
How is the ShockSorb so effective?
Rigorously refined and play-tested for the best results and design, The ShockSorb has earned the respect of tennis players of all ages and levels. A vibration dampener is a common racquet accessory – but no other product is designed to protect elbows from general discomfort to acute tension and pain quite like the ShockSorb.
Considered an indispensable racquet accessory by its users, The ShockSorb is about the same size as a traditional dampener, sporting a sleek and classic look. Yet it is unlike traditional dampeners in its effectivity of reducing the shock passed from a players racquet to arm. The ShockSorb is also very stable and durable, with a compact design that rarely-ever falls out of position or off the racquet during regular hitting.
The ShockSorb comes in two varieties: Classic and Ultrasoft.
The classics are available in black and white, and perfectly balance comfort with the feel of the ball. The retained feel yet newfound comfort may even impress players who don’t usually opt for dampeners.
The Ultrasoft model is for those looking to achieve maximum comfort and absorption from their dampener, even in colder temperatures.
Coming in a variety of colors, there will be a color to match your racquet or individual style.

Although the allure of being warm and comfortable on the couch seems very enticing as we get closer and closer to winter, keep in mind that your pickle partners are probably working on their volleys in their own house.
Put down the popcorn, set aside your blankets, and grab your Shield pickleball paddles. If you want to rule the court next summer, then you better get started now! The beauty of the sport that has grasped the attention of the nation is you never truly have to stop playing. Just because your mind has entered the state of hibernation doesn’t mean that you can’t burn a few calories here and there. With all the new indoor pickleball facilities popping up in the Long Island area, why not go show off your new Shield paddle.
This paddle truly makes you feel like a pro. The fine layer of grit makes you spin it like Rafa at Roland Garros, apparently dinking is as effortless as Federer’s footwork, and can we talk about how sweet the design is! Everything about this paddle will help you improve your game and take home all the trophies next year… including the LITM Pickleball Challenge.
Head over to vikingathletics.com and check out the paddles! The best part about the Shield pickleball paddle, is that you don’t have to break the bank to feel like a pro. Hopefully this will give you the boost of energy to get back on the court.
