Logoaball 2.07

Hi I'm Jim Kavadas,

I have been coaching and playing tennis professionally for over thirty years in Australia and Hong Kong.

I estimate during that time I have spent an hour a week marking or remarking my tennis balls – that’s over 1,500 hours or a solid 62 days that I could have spent giving tennis lessons which is what I really love to do.

This is why I came up with the Logoaball machine – a multiball heat press that places any text, logo or message on tennis balls within seconds that not only looks professional but also lasts so much longer than the traditional method of just using an ink marker pen.

The prototype has proved to be really successful as my tennis balls are easily identifiable on the court so now only a few ever go missing, my students buy all their balls from me with their names on, and my tennis club has their crest on their balls too.

The Logoaball now earns for me more money than my racquet restringing machine, as well as personalizing tennis balls I can add corporate sponsors logos for tournaments, produce redeemable tennis lesson coupons, tennis ball business cards for other coaches and advertising for dog grooming parlors, as well as to fundraise turning tennis balls into useful ‘raffle tickets’ and as match prizes.

I know that every tennis coach, tennis club and sport shop would benefit from owning a Logoaball machine. With my extra time I am now able to give more free lessons to kids whose parents can’t afford coaching, court fees and equipment which I believe really gives back to the sport and assures its future from the grass roots.

I live in Hong Kong and have been able to work with a factory just 20 miles away in Shenzhen China to produce this working prototype and have created a schedule to start the full production process once I have raised the funding.

This is where I need your help – please like my Facebook page and I will keep you updated on the project so you can contribute to the success of the Logoaball machine, by owning one yourself, or have your tennis balls professionally marked or just to sponsor a tennis ball to contribute to the cost of a lesson for a young person who may not yet have had the opportunity to try out this wonderful sport.

Thanks and please like, share and subscribe,
