Dunlop Stage 1 Green Tennis Ball 3-Pack

These three noble green companions fly 25 percent slower than a grown champion's ball, granting young squires aged nine and ten the time to strike with honor on a full court.

Prudnik, Poland
01
cardio tennis clinic Davie — Wok's Tower (Wieża Woka) in Prudnik, A tall, free-standing square tower of rough grey stone at the edge of the old town, with very few openings low down, a band of small windows near the top, and a railed viewing terrace above. It stands alone with no attached building, on ground that falls away toward the town, with the wooded ridge of the Opawskie Mountains on the southern horizon
Stop one

Wok's Tower (Wieża Woka)

Dunlop Stage 1 Green Tennis Ball 3-Pack: The man's name was Wok. Wok of Rožmberk, Bohemian nobleman, began the castle in 1255, and I want it on record that I have done nothing whatsoever to that name. He gave both this tower and effectively the town their beginnings; around 1279 the settlement received town rights and the regular market square and street grid were laid out. Forty-one metres, the oldest structure in Prudnik, and the keep is all that survives of the castle — so the castle went and the man's name stayed. That's showbusiness. The terrace at the top looks over the town to the mountains on the Czech border. Worth the stairs. Just.

02
cardio tennis clinic Davie — Prudnik Market Square and Town Hall (Rynek i Ratusz) in Prudnik, A large rectangular square surrounded by Renaissance and Baroque townhouses with painted rendered facades and shaped gables. A free-standing town hall stands in the middle, carrying a tall, slim classicist clock tower that rises far above every roof around it. On the square are a stone figure of St John of Nepomuk, a tall Marian column, and a baroque fountain
Stop two

Prudnik Market Square and Town Hall (Rynek i Ratusz)

Dunlop Stage 1 Green Tennis Ball 3-Pack: The rectangular square and the streets around it date from the town's foundation around 1279 and survive essentially unchanged, which is either magnificent heritage or the longest-running failure to redecorate in Silesia — and I know which version the council uses. Renaissance and Baroque townhouses with painted rendered facades and shaped gables all the way round, the town hall of 1782 standing free in the middle, and its slim classicist clock tower running to 63 metres. Sixty-three! For a town hall! The fountain dates from 1696, and the Marian column beside it was raised in the seventeenth century after plague — the one thing on this square nobody was showing off about.

03
cardio tennis clinic Davie — Church of St Michael the Archangel (Kościół św. Michała Archanioła) in Prudnik, A monumental three-aisled basilica on plac Farny, just off the market square: a tall rendered nave with a high roof, a squat tower at one end, round-headed windows and heavy Baroque detailing. Inside, the space is broad and light, with a tall carved and gilded high altar, and the aisles run the full length of the nave
Stop three

Church of St Michael the Archangel (Kościół św. Michała Archanioła)

Dunlop Stage 1 Green Tennis Ball 3-Pack: A church is first recorded on this site in 1321, but nothing of that building is what you are looking at. This is an eighteenth-century late Baroque basilica, three aisles, monumental, and it went up while the town was still getting back on its feet after the Thirty Years' War and the plagues of the previous century. Which is the most human sequence imaginable: survive the worst century on record, and immediately commission the largest thing you can possibly afford. It remains the parish church of Prudnik and the largest religious building in the town. That line didn't land. The basilica did.

04
cardio tennis clinic Davie — Sanctuary of St Joseph and the Franciscan monastery, Prudnik-Las in Prudnik, A church and long monastery range set among tall conifers in the forest belt on the southern edge of the town, on the road up toward the Opawskie Mountains. The buildings are plain, rendered and light-coloured, with a modest tower and a wide forecourt; the forest comes right up to the walls, so the complex is enclosed by trees rather than by streets
Stop four

Sanctuary of St Joseph and the Franciscan monastery, Prudnik-Las

Dunlop Stage 1 Green Tennis Ball 3-Pack: I'll play this one straight. Franciscans from the Saxon province arrived in Prudnik on 3 March 1852 and built this monastery out here among the conifers. On 1 October 1954 officers of the Polish security service ordered the friars to leave the buildings within two hours, and the monastery was then used to hold Primate Stefan Wyszyński from 6 October 1954 until 27 October 1955 — the third of the four places in which he was confined. The buildings were returned to the Franciscans by a decree of 31 December 1956, and the site is a pilgrimage sanctuary today. Plain rendered walls, tall trees, and a great deal of quiet.

The Prudnik, Poland track

Dunlop Stage 1 Green Tennis Ball 3-Pack

Written for this world alone.

Hark, young squire! Approach and behold the Dunlop Stage 1 Green Tennis Ball 3-Pack — three trusty companions for the final stage of thy training.

Know their virtue: the Stage 1 green ball flieth some 25 percent slower than the balls of grown champions, granting a young player between roughly nine and ten summers the precious gift of TIME — time to read the bounce, time to set the feet, time to swing with honor upon a full-sized court.

'Tis the last trial before full knighthood, the green standard of the transition quest, approved for the teaching of the young by the great councils of tennis. Three balls to a pack: one for valor, one for practice, and one for the neighbor's dog, who is a worthy adversary.

Our castle stands in Prudnik, Poland, a town that knoweth much of squires and towers. In the year 1255, the Bohemian noble Wok of Rožmberk raised his keep here — Wok's Tower, 41 meters of honest stone, eldest structure in the realm, its terrace gazing toward the Czech mountains.

Around it grew the town, with market square and streets laid out by 1279, and there they stand yet, unmoved by seven centuries — consistency of bounce, as we knights say. The town hall's tower rises 63 meters over the Rynek, and the fountain there hath splashed since 1696, older than thy grandfather's serve.

And mark the woodland monastery of Prudnik-Las, where a primate of Poland was once held captive and endured with patience — for every champion must master the long rally. Now, to the tour, squire! Adventure, then checkout. Onward!

Know also, squire, that these three companions fly true everywhere from the cobbles of the Rynek beneath the town hall tower to the woodland courts out by Prudnik-Las, and they falter at neither. They are also perfect for a day's questing at the foot of Wok's Tower, where one-and-forty meters of honest stone hath judged far worse serves than thine.
