The Nicer Circle
Perfect circles for indoors and outdoorsFor indoors
Are you tired of circling on your knees? Are you already drenched in sweat after court one due to your current technique? Your lines have lasted five rallies and are starting to peel? Are your serving lines gradually moving further and further away from the net?
Many questions, one answer. With the Nicerkreiser, circling becomes nicer!
Thanks to its double suction cup, the Nicerkreiser adheres to all smooth surfaces. With the optionally customizable Nicerkreiser, applying all the lines in just two minutes is a real joy, even by yourself.
The only disadvantage is that you hardly have time to dream about beautiful rallies while setting up...
The width of the tape you use is up to you, because after weeks (unfortunately, I'm not lying) of searching for an elegant solution, the outer edge of your lines always counts, which conveniently is also always on the outside in the Nicerkreiser.
The Nicerkreiser is rounded off by its secret star: the Dyneema rope with less than 1% rope stretch! We've found that the ropes and webbing commonly used at local hardware stores stretch by several centimeters over time. Since these often have up to 20% rope stretch, they are unfortunately completely unsuitable for applying lines of consistent quality, either indoors or outdoors.
We use a single rope with a precisely positioned eyelet that eliminates the need for major modifications to distinguish between the serving line and the no-hit zone. The eyelet is simply hooked into the center of the suction cup after pulling the circle, and you're ready to begin the no-hit zone!
The set includes almost everything you need. We've only omitted a round bar for handling due to shipping costs. You can get this for a small fee at the aforementioned hardware store around the corner. We also leave the choice of favorite tape up to the community, but we're happy to provide advice. For example, at the Black Forest Monkeys, we use different tapes for training (lower costs) and competitions (higher quality).
With the Nicerkreiser we are primarily targeting clubs and communities, as private individuals tend to rarely have to prepare roundnet fields in a hall.
If the distances change as a result of the RRR25 or other rule changes, you can get a simple conversion kit for a small fee and continue gluing straight away.
For outdoors
The outdoor Nicer Circle works practically the same as its big brother. The differences are the anchoring in the center of the field, where a large, long nail is pressed into a handy handle, and a holder for a can of chalk spray. Both the handle and the holder can be customized upon request. The highly acclaimed Dyneema rope can still be used thanks to the same mount as on the suction cup and comes with an eyelet. This allows spraying between the serving line and the no-hit zone without any major reorganization. The eyelet is simply hooked onto the nail in the center after spraying the reference circle, and you're ready to go with the NHZ!
Caution! On most artificial turf pitches, piercing with sharp objects is prohibited, as this can damage the flat irrigation system.
If in doubt, work in pairs and simply hold the nail in place, preferably upside down, at the center point.
With the Nicerkreiser for outdoors, we're targeting clubs and communities, as well as private individuals, in terms of price. This practical gadget fits perfectly in any bike bag or your Roundnet set and can be used immediately in just a few simple steps.
