Different Types of
Tennis Courts
•
Carpet Courts
– Just as the name implies, carpet courts are any removable court
surface covering. This type is mostly installed during temporary tennis
events. The court surfaces are made from several materials ranging
from hard rubber to tuff. The ball tends to be faster and offers a low
bounce; hence, this encourages faster games as compared to other
court surfaces.
•
Grass Courts
– This is the most common type of tennis court surface. The grass is
grown on very hard packed soil, adding an additional variable. Different
features affect how the ball behaves. These include the health of the
grass, how recently you cut the grass, and the wear and tear from any
recent games. The grass courts favour the serve and volley tennis ball
players. The grass courts tend to have the shortest season because
they have to be mowed and watered frequently. Because of this, they
are very expensive to maintain.
