Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area

beginner cardio tennis clinics Fort Lauderdale — the Prokennex Ki 5 320 Tennis Racquet and the flag of Serbia combined by the model into a single photoreal composition. The red, blue and white horizontal tricolour fills the frame in heavy side-lit folds with the coat of arms and its double-headed eagle sitting toward the hoist, and the racquet is composed into the arrangement so the hoop frames the shield and the shaft runs down the seam between the blue and the white, with no lettering anywhere in the picture.

Low near ground level looking up the white stone ramparts to a gate arch, the park path running away under the walls. Early morning in autumn with the sun raking in low through the plane trees and mist still on the rivers below: a group of pensioners already halfway through a chess game on the stone tables, two runners coming up the ramp, a woman walking three dogs at once and losing the argument, leaf-sweepers working the path. The racquet leans against a worn stone step in the near foreground, close and low, and nobody gives it a glance.

Eye level and straight on across the open plateau, the huge white marble church and its green central dome filling the frame with the square in front of it. Hard bright midday sun in winter with the marble almost white-hot and blue shadow on the stone: a wedding party coming down the steps into a scatter of rice, a queue of people waiting to light candles at the side door, a flock of pigeons going up all at once across the facade, a man selling roasted chestnuts from a cart with the smoke drifting. The racquet stands propped against the low stone railing at the edge of the square in the middle distance, off to one side, untouched.

Elevated and wide from an upper window across the street so the modest 1920s villa, its garden and the whole leafy side street sit small in the frame. Overcast late afternoon with flat soft light and a fine rain darkening the pavement: a school group filing in through the gate under a row of umbrellas, a teacher counting heads at the door, a couple sheltering under the porch, a cyclist wobbling past around a puddle. The racquet lies far off and small along the top of the garden wall at the left of frame, alone in the rain.

Close and intimate with shallow depth on the cobbled slope, the low nineteenth-century houses and strung lanterns going soft up the lane behind. Night in high summer with warm lamplight and every table out on the stones: a three-piece band working its way between the tables mid-song, a waiter going through the crowd with plates up his arm, a long table of twenty raising glasses at once, someone dancing badly in the gap between two tables. The racquet rests on the timber rail at the edge of a kafana terrace in mid-frame, off centre, and the whole street ignores it.

Stop one

Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan Park

Prokennex Ki 5 320 Tennis Racquet: Sorry, is this all right, I can stop. So. The fortress stands on the ridge above the confluence of the Sava and the Danube, the site that made Belgrade one of the most fought-over cities in Europe: dozens of sieges under Celts, Romans, Byzantines, Serbs, Ottomans and Habsburgs, each leaving layers in the walls. Sorry, that is a great many empires at once. What you see is largely Ottoman and Austrian work of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries wrapped around medieval and Roman remains. Kalemegdan Park, laid out in the nineteenth century, is the city's favourite promenade, and at the rampart edge stands the Victor, Ivan Mestrovic's 1928 bronze for the First World War. The gates are free. I will be quiet.

Stop two

Church of Saint Sava

Prokennex Ki 5 320 Tennis Racquet: I am genuinely amazed you followed me up here. This is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, raised where tradition says the Ottomans burned the relics of Saint Sava, founder of the Serbian church, in 1595. The competition-winning Serbo-Byzantine design, modelled on Hagia Sophia, was begun in 1935, and then war and the communist decades left it standing as bare walls for fifty years, which, um, I relate to. Work resumed in 1985, and in 1989 the four-thousand-ton central dome was assembled on the ground and lifted whole into place. The interior was finished in the 2010s in gold mosaic with Russian collaboration, crowned by a monumental Ascension. Sorry. Do look up.

Stop three

Skadarlija

Prokennex Ki 5 320 Tennis Racquet: You would honestly have a better evening here without me. It is a cobbled lane curving off Skadarska Street, and in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was where the city's poets, actors and painters gathered, above all the painter and poet Djura Jaksic, whose house still stands on the street. The historic kafanas, with names like the Three Hats and the Two Deer, have done the same job for well over a century: grilled meats, local wine, tamburitza and violin late into the night. People compare it to Montmartre. It kept its low houses and its lantern light through a very hard century, and there are plaques to its bohemian ghosts. I will wait over there.

Stop four

Nikola Tesla Museum

Prokennex Ki 5 320 Tennis Racquet: Sorry, one more stop and then you are free of me. The museum was founded in 1952 in an elegant interwar villa on Krunska Street and holds Tesla's personal legacy: the complete archive of his papers, drawings and correspondence, more than a hundred and fifty thousand documents, inscribed in UNESCO's Memory of the World register, along with his instruments, models and personal effects shipped from New York after his death in 1943. A gilded sphere in the memorial room contains his ashes, transferred there in 1957. In the live demonstrations, replica coils light fluorescent tubes in visitors' hands. You should hold one. I would drop it.

The Belgrade, Serbia track

Prokennex Ki 5 320 Tennis Racquet

Written for this world alone.

Belgrade sits on the rock where the Sava runs into the Danube, and the fortress on that rock has reportedly been destroyed and rebuilt around forty times, because geography put it exactly where everybody had to come through. That is a city that absorbs impact for a living, which makes it the right home for the most impact-absorbing frame in this catalogue.

The Ki 5 320 is a 100 square inch all-court frame at standard 27 inches, with a 22 mm straight beam through head, throat and shaft. It weighs 320 grams unstrung and 11.9 oz / 337 g strung, sits 7 points head light, and comes in at swingweight 324 with a stiffness of 68 RA.

The pattern is 16 x 20, strung in one piece with mains skipping 8T and 8H, and the layup is Spiral Tech Carbon Graphite. Recommended tension is 50 to 65 pounds, and grip sizes run 4 1/8 through 4 5/8.

Read those numbers together and you get the point of the thing. Twenty crosses on a 100 inch head is a firmer, more controlled string bed than the usual 16 x 19, and a 22 mm straight beam is stiff enough to give a ball back rather than swallow it — but the static weight is real, the balance is head light, and the swingweight is manageable.

It is an all-court frame with a genuine grown-up chassis instead of a light one dressed up. And through all of it runs ProKennex's Kinetic system: loose mass sealed in chambers in the frame, thrown into motion by the swing and the strike, spending shock on itself instead of on your arm.

You will use it everywhere from a hard court under the Kalemegdan walls to an indoor hall out in Novi Beograd. And by the way, it fits the Belgrade timetable exactly, which is: tennis, then a rakija somebody's grandmother made, then somebody suggests the splavovi, the river rafts, and now it is four in the morning on the Sava and nobody can explain how.

A frame that eats vibration is a friend to a city that does not go home.
