MY HAR-TRU EXPERIENCE
Tennis is the ultimate sport. And clay is the ultimate surface for the ultimate sport. I am not sure that those who are after the short-term rewards and success brought on by opponents blasting shots on hard, fast surfaces will ever truly be able to appreciate the sensation of playing on a court that rewards those who are creative, flexible and think before they act.
Clay court tennis has a long and distinguished history, both here and abroad, yet since the U.S. Open shifted from clay to hard courts, our country’s focus has drifted from clay court tennis to hard courts and hard hitting. My wish is to preserve the playing of the game as it was originally intended. The future of tennis could very well depend on it. — Pat Hanssen, Lee Tennis Products, Charlottesville, VA.
