USTA Partner PlayReplay™ Achieves ITF Silver Classification as the Only Company Worldwide
New Standard for Electronic Line Calling Addressing the Volume Market
SAN DIEGO and STOCKHOLM, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PlayReplay™ has passed the required testing for the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Silver Classification and is the only company globally to have achieved this status. Over the past two years, PlayReplay has completed a series of rigorous tests with the ITF to verify the system's accuracy, usability, and reliability. These tests were conducted on hard courts, covering both indoor and outdoor environments. The test sequence was finalized during the recent USTA SoCal Pro Series event held last week at Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego, CA. To date, PlayReplay is the only system that is classified for electronic line calling by the ITF outside of systems approved for use in high-level professional tennis, such as Grand Slams. The system can be used for review/challenge by chair umpires, roving officials, or the players themselves.
"We are exceptionally proud to be the first to break new ground with a system that can address the volume market," says Hans Lundstam, CEO of PlayReplay. He further adds, "Our partners have been especially impressed by the system's accuracy and ease of use, combined with its lightweight footprint."

The Oak Barrel Company Celebrates 20 Years of Transforming Discarded Wood into Timeless Heirlooms
Berlin, Ohio, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Celebrating two decades of innovation, artistry, and entrepreneurial grit, The Oak Barrel Company is marking its 20th anniversary as a business rooted in sustainability and driven by craftsmanship. What began in 1999 with a broken barrel and a spark of curiosity has evolved into a globally recognized brand known for reimagining reclaimed wine and whiskey barrels into enduring pieces of functional art. The Oak Barrel Company Christopher Deffenbaugh, founder of The Oak Barrel Company, never intended to start a business. 'It started with a friend asking me to take an old, dried-out barrel to the curb,' he recalls. 'I put it in the back of my truck instead and rebuilt it into something beautiful.' That spontaneous act of salvage soon turned into a passion and eventually a livelihood. By 2005, Deffenbaugh had formalized the venture, turning his one-man workshop in rural Ohio into a registered LLC. Over the next 20 years, The Oak Barrel Company would grow into a beloved destination for customers seeking one-of-a-kind pieces, ranging from bar stools and ottomans to sinks, smokers, and custom furniture. With numerous unique designs in his catalog today, Deffenbaugh has cultivated a devoted following from home decorators to major spirit brands. Still, he emphasizes the humble beginnings. 'I was no carpenter. I came from human resources,' he says. 'My fingernails were flat from banging them with the hammer so many times.' But what he lacked in training, he made up for in vision and relentless creativity. 'I wanted to make something that could last. Something that wouldn't just be tossed out in five years.' The Oak Barrel Company Among the standout items is the FÜMI™ Bourbon smoker, a compact and elegant unit made from reclaimed wood, designed without screens or moving parts, offering a safer, more flavorful alternative to standard models. It has gained traction among bartenders and mixology enthusiasts alike, thanks to its use of rare woods like sassafras, which impart a uniquely aromatic smoke. 'No one else is using sassafras the way we are,' Deffenbaugh says. 'It's subtle, complex, and steeped in tradition.' Another fan favorite is the handcrafted ottoman, an upholstered gem that Deffenbaugh affectionately refers to as the 'muffin top.' Built from the curved center of a barrel and covered in leather or microsuede, it's a blend of rustic charm and ergonomic comfort. 'It's not just a piece of furniture. It's a conversation starter,' he says. The same can be said of the custom barrel sinks and architectural installations that now grace homes, restaurants, wineries, and corporate venues around the world. While no two items are identical, each piece bears the unmistakable hallmarks of authenticity, durability, and handcrafted elegance. The Oak Barrel Company As proud as he is of what The Oak Barrel Company has accomplished, Deffenbaugh is looking to the future, and he's looking for partners. 'I have gone as far as I can on passion alone,' he says candidly. 'I need someone with real business expertise, someone who sees what I've built and can help scale it to what it's meant to be.' He's open to creative partnerships, including equity shares for the right visionary who can help take the brand to major markets like Nashville, Scottsdale, or even international retail hubs. 'I'm the idea guy. I can build anything in three dimensions,' Deffenbaugh explains. 'But I need help with business development, sales, operations, and expansion. That's where I'm hoping this milestone brings not just recognition but connection.' At its heart, The Oak Barrel Company stands as a testament to sustainable creativity. Every piece is crafted with care, designed not only to last but to be cherished. 'We live in a disposable culture,' Deffenbaugh reflects. 'But I believe in heirlooms. I believe in building things that get passed down.' And in that belief lies the soul of the business, one that has transformed reclaimed wood into legacy pieces for two decades and shows no signs of slowing down. As Deffenbaugh puts it, 'We don't need to keep making new things. We need to find the beauty in what we already have and make it last.'
