I’ve seen on FB an advertisement for a “gravity belt “ which supposedly helps keeping a low posture in tennis.

Looks like it could help us too.

Has anyone tried such a thing ? Apart from the hefty price what do you guys think about it ?

from a logical standpoint it does make sense and it does not.
You will strenghten your thighs, which is good and a prerequisite to staying low for a longer time during rallies.
playing without it your legs will "miss" the counterweight and probably make you stand up even more straight.

they are sold for cheaper as vertical jump trainers, i do think it can be a helpful way to get a feeling for the lower stance. i have seen videos of coaches/players using them in their training or exercise

i cant see that product in particular but based on looking at them before i feel they are comparable or the same, possibly some difference in quality or the cords/design or more likely just better marketing : )

So basically you wear suspenders clipped to your socks?

I have a gravity belt. I wear it day and night. Really used to it now.
One thing that’s still very hard to do is tying my shoe laces. When I exhale I barely manage to tie them. Have to do it fast though else I’m out of breath. And that for both sides.
My wife doesn’t like my belt, she’d rather have me exchange it for the six pack corset.
