Embroidered Polo Shirt That Started Off as a Tennis Shirt
A polo shirt is a t-shirt with collars, and a tastefully embroidered polo shirt has greater appeal. Remember that alligator across your left breast? The polo shirt collars are often button down. The shirt typically has two small slits on both sides at the bottom, and might also have a pocket.
Polo shirt originated as a tennis shirt, to replace the earlier cumbersome tennis wear. Its inventor of this new tennis shirt, tennis champion Lacoste, put the crocodile emblem on these shirts because he was often called 'the alligator' in the tennis circuit.
How this tennis shirt became the polo shirt is an interesting story. Though polo players soon adopted it, replacing their earlier long-sleeved wear, this fact alone could not have led to the fame of the polo shirt. It was when Ralph Lauren's embroidered polo shirts (with the horse-borne polo player emblem) became immensely popular that the erstwhile tennis shirt all but became the 'polo shirt'.
Golf players also adopted the shirt as their own, often with golf cuts to make them true golf shirts. It is standard wear for golf players now.
So the tennis shirt not only became a polo shirt; it became a de-facto sports shirt, by whatever name it was called.
Status of the Embroidered Polo Shirt Now
The polo shirt entered day-to-day lives soon and has become a standard item of clothing worn by both men and women these days. It is even worn to offices that accept less formal wear but are not ready to accept t-shirts yet.
Polo shirts come in numerous styles, with the horizontal striped style being a popular one. The shirts come in different colors, with or without a pocket, in men's and women's styles, made of knitted yarn, cotton or poly-cotton, heavy or light and so on.
Polo shirts are often worn with an under shirt for warmth.
Embroidered polo shirts with a neat little emblem on the breast add a neat touch. The emblem is typically tailored to specific themes or needs, such as golf tours, corporate events, business branding and even a stag weekend.
Conclusion
The embroidered polo shirt started out as a tennis shirt, with the Lacoste's famous crocodile emblem on the left breast. Designed as an alternative to the uncomfortable tennis wear, it was soon adopted by other sports such as polo and golf. The tennis shirt had become a de facto sports shirt, with the name polo shirt stuck to it.
These days, both plain and embroidered polo shirts are worn in non-sports environments, including offices that accept some informality. A tasteful little emblem adds a touch of class to the polo shirt, which can come in many styles.

Babolat Tennis Racquet Reviews – A Must Read Before You Pick a Racquet Off the Shelf
Are you a Rafael Nadal or Andy Roddick fan? If you are, it is quite probable you know that both these players use Babolat racquets. And if you are into the game yourself and have always dreamed of slinging the ball over the net with a powerful shot like your favorite star you might consider buying a Babolat racquet. However, the range of racquets brought into the market by the French sports' goods manufacturer can bewilder even a pro. So what do you do if you are stumped by the variety offered on the shelf? The best would be to consult a player but that's not within the reach of most of us. Thus, the easiest and best way to select your bat would be to read Babolat tennis racquet reviews, which are easily available over the Internet.
Babolat offers a range of racquets for players of all skill levels. The company has a junior range for beginners, a recreational range, an intermediate line followed by racquets for advanced and professional players. However, Babolat tennis racquet reviews are generally available for the advanced and expert segments as these racquets are more expensive and people buying them would like to get the maximum value for money, which in this case means an improved game.
In this review we will take a look at three racquets. Let's take a sneak peak at Babolat AeroPro Drive first. This racquet made famous by its user Rafael, can help add the X factor to your game if you've been playing for quite sometime and hope to turn pro. Weighing nearly 11 ounce, this lightweight racquet will give you all the control and manoeuvrability that you've always desired. The unmatched head velocity and spin that this bat will add to your game will certainly make heads turn to your side as your opponent fails to equal your powerful forehand and backhand strokes.
Next is the 27in Babolat Pure Drive. A must have for any real performer, at 11 ounce this racquet generates good speed and gives great stability and control. A 100 sq. in head makes sure that you collect the ball and send it spinning across to your opponent. Effective for slice shots, the racquet has been strung at 50-57 pounds and the tension can be increased to 65 pounds for better control. Great manoeuvrability and great performance.
And finally the Babolat Pure Drive Plus, the model used by Andy Roddick. This piece gives you more power, making your game easier. The 1/2 inch extra length added to Pure Drive forces players using Pure Drive Plus to adjust to swinging the bat earlier. However, the control, the spin and extra power on serves gives Pure Drive Plus at least four stars on five.
Thus, I would advice all tennis aficionados to go through some Babolat tennis racquet reviews before you hit the sports' goods store near you to pick the right tennis racquet for yourself.

Power or Precision? The compromise ends now. The Babolat Y118 Removable Smart Grip Tennis Racquets are exclusively designed for club level players who demand big power and total precision with a short swing. This lightweight 9 oz. racket features Side Drivers which create a stiffer construction and distribute maximum power from the base of the yoke to the middle of the head. The results in less racquet twisting during ball impact. The Dual-Graphite construction results in increased power for this tennis racket. An exclusive crystal graphite material engineered by Babolat provides enhanced torque resistance and more precision. The Cellular Grommet System combines a hard internal part and a soft external creating a more consistent and balanced energy absorption at ball impact for more comfort. Comes in an extended 27.5 inch length. The ergonomic design of the Smart Grip makes the racquet a natural extension of the arm for a more relaxed and fluid game. The Smart Grip can also be easily replaced with a regular grip and is also available as a stand alone kit. You can purchase this racquet at: www.tennisexpress.com
