Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a sports garment with a pocket designed for carrying and accessing tennis balls. The pocket has an improved stability and comfort by having a partial overlap of the pocket borders with cut lines of the sports garment. This reduces additional cut lines or seams, improves the manufacturing process, and reduces the complexity of the garment. The pocket also has one or more additional openings for top loading and may have different materials with different elasticity for improved performance. To improve visibility, the pocket material may be made of a mesh or net structure.

Problems solved by technology

For instance, there are time penalties for an excessive amount of time between two serves of a player in a professional game.
However, numerous problems can arise with known sports garments having pockets.
For example, the location of the pocket and the contents thereof, for example, for a tennis ball, can interfere or obstruct the athlete when moving.
