RALLY READY — PRE-SESSION EQUIPMENT CHECK Original checklist; not a defect diagnosis or safety certification. [ ] Confirm permitted equipment and session ball. [ ] Check exact model identity and current record if event rules require it. [ ] Look for visible damage, loose components and questionable grips. [ ] Separate gear that needs manufacturer or qualified inspection. [ ] Find model-specific care directions before cleaning. [ ] Record ball, grip and court conditions before a comparison.
