Yonex Stencil Card

This is the mask that separates a professional stencil from a homemade one, and it comes cut to match your racquet head, the two versions being genuinely not interchangeable, which matters more than people think. The ink can wait a while. Four stops round Eluru first, canal to temple.

Eluru, India
01
cardio tennis clinics Lazy Lake — Kolleru Lake in Eluru, An enormous shallow freshwater lake southeast of Eluru, nowhere more than about two metres deep, its surface broken by reed beds, fish-pond bunds and flocks of wading and migratory birds, with flat delta farmland running to the horizon
Stop one

Kolleru Lake

Yonex Stencil Card: Okay, the light out here — obsessed. Kolleru sits in the low ground between the Godavari and Krishna deltas, 245 square kilometres of water and never more than about two metres deep, half a metre in places, roughly 15 kilometres from Eluru. This is giving flat. This is giving endless. It flood-balances both river systems, which is the least glamorous superpower ever, and it's a critical wintering ground for migratory waterbirds — hence Ramsar, wetland of international importance. The Tammileru runs through Eluru and empties right here. Are you getting the birds? Get the birds. #wetlandcore

02
cardio tennis clinics Lazy Lake — The Eluru Canal in Eluru, A straight walled irrigation canal cutting through the middle of Eluru, running alongside National Highway 16 with road bridges crossing it and buildings pressing right up to its banks
Stop two

The Eluru Canal

Yonex Stencil Card: Leading lines. LEADING LINES. The canal runs some 64 kilometres straight through the middle of town, irrigating around 24,483 hectares of water drawn off the Krishna, and the composition is doing all the work for me here. It belongs to the great nineteenth-century delta irrigation build that turned coastal Andhra into some of the most productive farmland in India, and boats used it too — it linked the delta towns. And because it cuts through the centre instead of going around, the entire modern town is organised along it, highway included. The town is literally in frame. #infrastructureera

03
cardio tennis clinics Lazy Lake — Pedavegi (ancient Vengi) in Eluru, Low grassy excavation mounds and exposed brick foundations in open fields at the village of Pedavegi, about eleven kilometres from Eluru, with a large ancient well set within the traces of a fortified enclosure
Stop three

Pedavegi (ancient Vengi)

Yonex Stencil Card: Fields. Mounds. Brick. And I know, I KNOW, it doesn't look like much — but this was Vengi. Capital of the Salankayanas, then the Vishnukundins, then the Eastern Chalukyas, the seat ruling much of coastal Andhra from roughly the fourth century AD, and the whole region took its name from it; Vengi turns up everywhere in south Indian dynastic history. Eleven kilometres from Eluru. The site has given up tools running Palaeolithic through Neolithic. Seventh-, eighth- and ninth-century copper-plate grants are held at the archaeological museum in Eluru. Golden hour on a ruined well is unmatched. #ancientcapital

04
cardio tennis clinics Lazy Lake — Dwaraka Tirumala in Eluru, A hill temple carved into and built onto the side of Seshadri hill, entered beneath a five-storey gopuram tower stepped and covered in painted figures, about forty kilometres from Eluru amid low wooded hills
Stop four

Dwaraka Tirumala

Yonex Stencil Card: Shoot up at it — the gopuram is five stepped storeys of painted figures and it eats the whole frame. Dedicated to Venkateswara, and everyone calls it Chinna Tirupathi, the little Tirupati, after the far larger shrine at Tirumala, which is genuinely the humblest naming I have ever encountered. Its principal image is held to be self-manifested rather than installed. The Kalyanotsavam, the eight-day celestial-wedding festival in April and May, pulls tens of thousands. Forty kilometres from Eluru, nineteen from Bhimadole station, and by a wide margin the most visited religious site in the district. #hilltemple

The Eluru, India track

Yonex Stencil Card

Written for this world alone.

One clean edge, one clean pull, and the difference between professional and homemade is entirely in the mask. A stencil card is a mask.

This one is Yonex's, cut so the logo lands square and legible on your string bed — and note that it comes in versions matched to head size, one for racquets of 90 to 99 square inches and one for 100 to 130, because a card cut for a mid-plus will spread and smear across an oversize. Lay it on the strings, hold it flat, run the ink pen, lift it clean.

That is the whole operation, and it takes about forty seconds. The card is reusable, and lying properly flat is the entire reason the ink edge stays sharp instead of bleeding. Every stencilled logo you have ever admired on television came off one of these.

You will get use out of it everywhere from a club bench on a Saturday morning to a tournament stringing room at midnight, and it is also perfect for the delta humidity, which does unspeakable things to a card left curled in the bottom of a bag.

Eluru is a place shaped entirely by things laid down deliberately. The Eluru Canal runs some 64 kilometres and irrigates around 24,483 hectares of Krishna water — part of the great nineteenth-century delta irrigation works that turned coastal Andhra into some of the most productive farmland in India.

Kolleru Lake sits in the low ground between the Godavari and Krishna deltas, covering some 245 square kilometres at a depth of only half a metre to two, about fifteen kilometres from town, acting as a natural flood-balancing reservoir for both river systems.

At Pedavegi stood ancient Vengi, capital in turn of the Salankayanas, the Vishnukundins and the Eastern Chalukyas, from roughly the fourth century AD. And Dwaraka Tirumala is known as Chinna Tirupathi, the little Tirupati, its principal image held to be self-manifested rather than installed.
