In 2012, Eric Babolat presented the "Play & Connect" prototype racquet at Roland Garros, describing it as "la première raquette communicante" (the first communicating racquet). He stated that the racquet would allow players to obtain information about their game, improve their play, and share data with others via a community platform. Babolat noted that the company had explained the project to the tennis community in January and had tested it with a professional player in February. He outlined next steps, including making prototypes available to development teams in September 2012 for testing with academies, professional players, and amateurs worldwide, with a goal of launching a product in 2013. In a separate overview of Babolat's history, Eric Babolat stated that the company was founded in 1875 by his great-great-grandfather, who invented the first tennis string. He noted that his father entered the racquet industry in 1994, and that he himself decided to launch a range of apparel and footwear in 2003. Babolat also remarked on the company's practice of signing young players, saying, "We signed Rodic when he was 16. Kener is at 13. Nadal at 11."
