On March 10, LVBL and Brain Dead held the first all-surface Dead Ball Invitational at the iconic Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, original site of the Indian Wells Open, known in the 1970s as the American Airlines Tennis Games. The Wilson-sponsored tourney, which featured 150 participants in two brackets, hosted vigorous all-day liveball competition and marked the launch of the new Brain Dead Equipment tennis line, which was revealed at the event and is now available online and at all Brain Dead stores, including Brain Dead Fabrications in Silverlake, Los Angeles, where you can also pick up a copy of The Second Serve “Vol 0.5”.
