Har-Tru
'Clay' Tennis Courts
The
Wood 'N' Racket Farm has four Har-Tru or 'American Clay' Tennis
Courts, considered by most tennis players as the most 'player
friendly' surface. This surface of crushed limestone is
mined and processed in Virginia by Lee Tennis, the tennis division
of Luck Stone, which is headquartered in Goochland, VA.
The
compactability of the Har-Tru material allows for a firm surface
for a truer bounce of the ball, yet allows a player to slide,
avoiding the sudden stop which is so brutal on the body's joints.
The
rough, granular Har-Tru material causes the Tennis ball to 'grab',
which slows the ball and makes for a more 'hittable' shot
resulting in better stroke execution. The Har-Tru 'Clay'
Court is the preferred surface of teaching Pros worldwide.
The green crushed Limestone does not stain clothes like the
Red-Clay of Europe. In this area the courts are playable
Spring, Summer, and Fall.
