    Tennis Playground – Clay courts in Singapore

    by spurskev

    Since its the french open season.. so maybe some people are curious to try out a clay court nearby. I’m not too sure whether there are still clay courts around in M’sia but in Singapore there is one which is open to public. I was eager to try out the clay court and want to know whats the difference from normal hard courts we usually play at.. After first few strokes i felt quite easy to get into motions..There are sometimes some unexpected bounces once in a while where the ball sometimes kicks up very high when there is alot of topspin on the ball. The clay here is of very thin layer and there is sand particles in it which i am not too sure whether a normal court would have or not. I felt it plays almost similar to the hard court and occasionally the weird bounces. I always thought that it would be easy to slide on clay buy I was wrong.. haha. But certainly its worth a try for those die hard tennis fans.. 🙂

    Tennis playground – Desa Park City Club

    Two weeks back I had a chance to play at this nice club at Desa Park City that has 4 synthetic grass courts. The surface is soft for the feet but sometimes the ball & the player would skid. It looks like they have good drainage system around the courts but the drains are uncovered & balls can roll into them & would get wet if there is water inside. Anyway this is a members only club & if you’re around there & interested to join this club, you can checkout their official website at here . (more…)

    Tennis Playground – Tasik Titiwangsa Public Courts

    The Tasik Titiwangsa DBKL public courts is located in the city center in Kuala Lumpur. It has 10 tennis courts with shower rooms & a cafeteria. It doesnt have the best courts in KL but it is located in the middle of KL so if you are staying in the city center, it would be the nearest public court. I would rate the courts 5 out of 10.  A lot of the courts has faded lines & some of them has basketball/futsal court lines drawn on them. (more…)
