You can listen to our podcast with Ryan Burbary in the embedded player below, on YouTube or on your favorite podcasting app.
Ryan Burbary is the founder and owner of Velociti Tennis. Velociti Tennis is a new tennis brand, with one of their products being the first bio-degradable tennis string in the world. It is called Catalyst and after testing the string I had to reach out to Ryan and talk about it. Ryan grew up in tennis stores and strung his first racquet when he was 12. A true tennis nerd!
