FLEX COURT® Suspended Tennis Court Surface

http://www.flexcourt.com/tennis.php

NOTE:  Flex Court International, Inc. and its system is what the Thermal Belt Community Tennis Association (TBCTA) recommended to the Town of Tryon instead of asphalt resurfacing of the Harmon Field courts.  Flex Court will greatly improve the court surfaces and stay in great condition for many, many years while also requiring minimum maintenance.  TBCTA researched various options and several members played on this surface prior to recommending it.  To cover the 4 courts at Harmon Field with FLEX COURT® will cost approximately $55,000 for materials. TBCTA is willing to provide the labor and installation.  Part of the  Town of Tryon’s current 2008 grant request to NC Parks and Recreation includes this project.  This “matching grant”, if awarded, will provide half the funds needed.

The European-inspired FLEX COURT® Suspended Tennis Court Surface is designed to withstand heavy, regular use over the long term, with built-in flexion, making it the safest and healthiest tennis court surface in the world. It delivers an excellent performance-to-price-ratio.

FLEX COURT® is the tennis court of the future. An orthopedic designed modular (each tile is less than a foot square and interlocks with the surrounding ones) tennis court made of proprietary space age composite materials that create a shock absorbing effect for players of all ages. There is a proven reduction of body shock up to 50%, which means twice the playing time on the tennis court.

FLEX COURT® also creates a great medium pace tennis court with high bounce. The court plays like a clay court, but with sure footing of a traditional hard court.

Stress-free Tennis
¾ in (75mm) shock absorbing suspended surface reduces playing fatigue, provides better ball rebound and exceptional game performance.  Wonderful stress relief on ankles, knees, and legs.   Improves game performance (balls rebound better, no skid on lines – tennis teachers’ choice).  Lower surface temperatures (much cooler than asphalt and concrete courts).

Trouble-free Tennis Court
Flex Court surface is virtually maintenance free.  Rain quickly drains through, no more sweeping or sponging.  No pools or puddles on court (all weather, self draining surface).  Just wait a few minutes, jump on and start playing.  15 year warranty and over 25 year life expectancy means a trouble-free tennis court.  No resurfacing or painting ever.

Retrofit Existing Court Surfaces
Covers existing cracks and chipped surfaces.  Just fill your cracks and then simply cover your existing worn concrete or asphalt surface for a safer play and lasting beauty.  Easy and fast to install (one day or less per court).  No more cracks or repainting.
