Landon Hendricks
Landon started playing tennis early and competed in USTA Junior Tennis growing up. After taking a long break from tennis until his 30s, Landon now plays UTR and on a Men’s USTA 4.0 team in Denver, CO. Knowing very little about gear until his return to tennis, he has enjoyed trying all the new string and racquet technologies on the market while optimizing his game and getting on the court as much as possible. Landon has also regularly contributed to Tennis Warehouse racquet and string play tests and play-tested gear directly for multiple racquet and string brands.
