Tennis

For healthy tennis play, you need not only tennis shoes that are easy on the joints and a tennis racket that is easy on the joints, but also a modern surface that reduces damaging blows to the knees. The ceramic sand and artificial turf developed for Smash Court® make the feel of the game close to that of a clay court. The new surface provides an excellent bounce and playing experience.
