Fischer is a well-known company.
Fischer company was founded in 1924 in Ried, Austria by Josef Fischer sen.; it produces luggage trolleys, school skis, and skis. (At the beginning, they did not produce tennis rackets)
1938: Exported 2,000 pairs of skis to the United States. 1958: Designer Rudolf Ferch designed FISCHER's triangular trademark, which has since become a worldwide symbol of FISCHER. 1964: The first fully equipped factory capable of producing all its products was built and put into operation. 1974: Displayed its net racket for the first time at the SPOGA Sports Expo in Cologne, Germany. 1978: FISCHER company was reorganized and three divisions were formally established: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and tennis.
Today, it has grown into an internationally renowned brand in the ski and tennis industries. Its outstanding revolutionary high-tech technology gives the company great influence in the entire sports industry. In 1989, Fischer, constantly pursuing innovation, entered the aviation industry and became the largest shareholder of Fischer Advanced Composite Components (FACC), producing aircraft interior cabins and corresponding components that require very high materials and technology for the aviation industry. Its customers include large aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus. This has greatly promoted its technical requirements and technological innovation.
These technologies have also greatly promoted the development of sports products by Fischer. For example, AirCarbon aviation carbon/titanium fiber, a material used in the aviation manufacturing industry, is also used in the manufacture of tennis rackets and snowboards to make the product lighter while maintaining the required hardness of the product.
In 1974, Fischer showed the world its tennis racquets for the first time at the SPOGA Sports Expo in Cologne, Germany, the world's largest summer sporting goods expo. In the first quarter, actual sales far exceeded its expected sales target of 40,000 units. At the time, its product line included three models: Matchmaker 1, 2 and 3. Today, Fischer online shooting has developed into five series and more than 20 types.
Fischer has always focused on the development of online rackets. In the 1970s, tennis racquets were made of composite fibers. Fischer develops the first racquet made entirely of plastic. In 1976, sales reached approximately 80,000 online shots. In 1979, Fischer researched and developed the magical Superform series of online rackets. Throughout the 1980s, this revolutionary design influenced the appearance of racquets. Due to continuous innovation and creation, Fischer has won many patents and product awards.
In the development of tennis rackets, Fischer pays great attention to cooperation with excellent professional athletes to understand the needs of professional golfers. Professional golfers are often more sensitive than ordinary players and can better feel the feeling of a tennis racket hitting the ball, such as the softness and hardness. There is no doubt that this feedback has promoted technology, materials, appearance design and other aspects. Fischer's latest technology involves effectively controlling the vibration frequency and optimizing the weight distribution of the racket, so that the vibration generated by the racket when receiving the serve is converted into energy, making the ball more powerful, enhancing ball control performance, and accelerating the ball faster.
Fischer online racquet test
All Fischer online racquets have passed many technical and quality tests before being put into production. During the initial stages of the development process, several practical test methods with different requirements and criteria were developed depending on the type of racket. Then, players of different levels will try out these racquets and make comments and suggestions. Finally, Fischer hired a number of former tennis pros as technical advisors. Their opinions have a great influence on the final decision.
Fischer Laboratory adopts extremely strict testing standards for online shooting. These tests include the cable stringing poundage test, 80oC high temperature resistance test (similar to the high temperature resistance test of automobiles), hit endurance test (hitting 20,000 balls continuously), and a variety of simulated court conditions and beating tests.
Each style has about 40 sample shots, which pass 10 different testing methods until they finally pass the test. Generally speaking, the development of each racket takes 10-14 months.
The appearance design of online rackets is also one of Fischer’s focuses. The new racquets will be spray-painted in various colors and then sent to three Austrian tennis centers, including the Tennis Hotel in St. Wolfgang, to be evaluated by different people. These research results will be immediately incorporated into the research and development of online shooting.
Sponsoring world-class professional tennis players:
As mentioned above, Fischer has attached great importance to cooperation with professional athletes since the beginning of developing its tennis racket business, especially supporting those with development potential. A new player who has achieved many impressive results.
- In 1976, Fischer sponsored Russian professional golfers Bob Hewitt and Frew McMillan to win five Grand Prix championships.
- In 1978, these two players won the Wimbledon men's doubles championship. They are known as "The Dynamic Duo" in tennis. This is also the first time that Fischer-sponsored golfers have won such a world-class championship. Eleven world-class tennis players have switched to FISCHER rackets, including John Alexander (Australia) and Stan Smith (USA).
- In 1985, Anders Jarryd reached the Wimbledon semi-finals.
- In 1988, Charlie Stieber defeated Sweden's Mads Wilander in the Davis Cup, ensuring that the Federal Republic of Germany would eventually win the Davis Cup.
- In 1989, Charlie Stieber defeated Agassi of the United States in the Davis Cup, once again ensuring that the Federal Republic of Germany would eventually win the Davis Cup
