Flora Vista offers two HarTru Clay Tennis Courts
Why Clay Courts? The Har-Tru Difference:
For platers of all ages, playing on clay is the heart of tennis. For Nearly 90 years, Har-Tru courts have been preferred by Avid Tennis players and professionals around the world. The reason is simple: our classic courts promote a refined and healthy game that develops champions and a love of tennis!
Clay is widely considered a premium surface. Clay HarTru Courts are what professional athletes train on and consider the best surface around. The feature players probably value most in clay is its softness underfoot; it absorbs a significant amount of shock from each step the player takes, reducing the cumulative stress on leg joints from routine running around the court and prevents injuries.
Many players also enjoy the slowness of clay, as it gives them more time to reach each ball, thus leading to longer rallies and better exercise.
If you want to improve your patience and your ability to think another shot ahead, playing on clay will help, as it makes quick put-aways considerably more difficult. Players who rely on ending points early with one big shot, especially the serve, tend to find clay the most difficult surface.
The French Open uses clay courts, making it unique among the Grand Slam tournaments.
