Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
Sleeveless, moisture-wicking, shoulders left alone for the serve. It will not improve your backhand and it does not, despite the name, produce backspin — it simply refuses to annoy you, which is more than most kit manages. Jyväskylä first, since it insists.
Head Backspin Women's Tennis Tank Top: The Alvar Aalto Museum, designed by Aalto and opened in 1973, preserves the models, drawings, and furniture so civilization can congratulate itself indoors. Naturally, the genius gets the plaque and someone else keeps the glass cases clean.
Head Backspin Women's Tennis Tank Top: Aalto designed major buildings for the University of Jyväskylä after winning the 1951 campus competition, because even pine trees apparently needed a master plan. The pale brick looks calm, which is more than can be said for anyone paying tuition.
Head Backspin Women's Tennis Tank Top: The Nero Stairs were cut into Harju ridge in 1925 as relief work, proving that when society panics, it often discovers stairs. At least the workers left everyone a climb, which is more useful than most monuments.
Head Backspin Women's Tennis Tank Top: Vesilinna was completed in 1953 as a water and observation tower on Harju, because humans saw a ridge and immediately wondered how to stand even higher on it. The reward is lakes in every direction, almost enough to justify the engineering invoice.
A tank top. Sleeveless, moisture-wicking, made for playing tennis in. There. That is the entire specification, and I notice nobody rushed to tell you that first — they rarely do. What you get is a light knit that lifts sweat off the skin and moves it out to where the air can take it, cut without sleeves so the shoulder has nothing to fight on the way through a serve.
It will not improve your backhand. Predictably, the name says Backspin, and no, it does not do that either.
What it does do is fail to annoy you, which I have come to regard as the highest compliment available in sportswear. No wet cotton weight arriving in the second set. No collar to think about. It goes on, it does its one job, and it is dry again before you have finished arguing about the line call.
No seam sitting under the strap of a bag.
If you want a garment with a philosophy, this is not it. If you want to stop noticing what you are wearing, this is very much it.
And naturally it summers in Jyväskylä, a town where an architect built half of everything and everybody else got on with living in it. Aalto's museum holds the models, the sketches, the furniture — the drawings that made the buildings that made the reputation.
His university campus is pale brick set among the pines, and it is genuinely lovely, and it was still built by people whose names are not on the museum wall. Of course it was.
"It will not improve your backhand. It will simply stop annoying you."
