LEGAL – TRANSPARENCY

Affiliate Disclosure

AceWhisperer is run by a tennis parent — not a marketing agency, not a brand partner, not a gear company. Just a dad standing on the sideline, trying to figure out what actually works.

But like most sites that write about products, AceWhisperer does participate in affiliate programs. Here’s exactly what that means — in plain language, not legal jargon.

The short version: Some links on this site earn a small commission if you buy through them. It costs you nothing extra. And it never changes what we recommend.

HOW IT WORKS

What affiliate links actually are

When you click a link on AceWhisperer — a “Check it now” button, a product card, or an inline recommendation — it may take you to a retailer like Amazon or a brand’s own site. If you buy something after clicking, we may earn a small percentage of that sale.

The price you pay is identical. The commission comes from the retailer’s margin, not your pocket. You’d pay the same whether you clicked our link or typed the URL directly.

OUR PROMISE

What this means for our reviews

We only feature gear we’d genuinely buy for Patrick — or have already bought
Affiliate availability never decides what gets reviewed — quality and relevance do
We’ll tell you when something disappointed us, even if it has a commission attached
We never accept free products or payments in exchange for positive coverage
If we wouldn’t stake our kid’s match results on it, it won’t appear on this site

PROGRAMS WE WORK WITH

Current affiliate partnerships

Amazon Associates — for general gear, accessories, and training equipment
Brand-direct programs (Wilson, Babolat, ASICS and others) — where available via networks like Impact or Awin
Tennis Warehouse / specialist retailers — where brand programs aren’t available

This list may change as the site grows. We’ll keep this page updated.
