Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
You carry nine racquets when failure is not survivable. 85 litres of new ripstop, 77.5 x 32.5 x 41 cm, 95% TPU shell, two compartments with CCT+ temperature control in one, an integrated shoe compartment and two-way carry — Inverness first, and we keep together at Culloden.
Head Pro Duffle L Tennis Bag (9 Racquet): Inverness Castle is a 19th-century red sandstone landmark above the River Ness, which is lovely, assuming the wind does not fling my itinerary into the water. I have counted the exits, and the bag is closest to the sensible one.
Head Pro Duffle L Tennis Bag (9 Racquet): Muirtown Locks are a staircase of four locks on the Caledonian Canal, so naturally I am monitoring the bag, the boats, the sky, and everyone’s shoelaces. If anything starts rising or lowering unexpectedly, I would like it not to be my blood pressure.
Head Pro Duffle L Tennis Bag (9 Racquet): The Battle of Culloden was fought on 16 April 1746 and is often described as the last pitched battle on British soil, so I am speaking quietly and checking the path twice. The clan graves are marked here, and yes, I have already worried about where the group wandered off to.
Head Pro Duffle L Tennis Bag (9 Racquet): Clava Cairns is a Bronze Age cemetery dating back about 4,000 years, which is impressive and also a reminder that my weather app is not the oldest source of anxiety here. The standing stones seem calm; I am trying to learn from them.
All right. Deep breath. This bag holds nine racquets, and I want to be honest that the number frightens me a little, because nine racquets is what you carry when you cannot afford for anything to go wrong. Which — and I say this as someone who thinks about it constantly — is a very reasonable way to live.
So here is what is protecting them. Two spacious compartments taking up to nine frames, one of them fitted with CCT+ climate control technology, which shields racquets from high temperatures — and if you have ever left a bag in a car in July and then worried about it for six hours, you will understand why that is the line I read twice.
The shell is a new ripstop fabric, which means a small tear does not become a large one, and I cannot tell you how much better that makes me feel. The outside is 95 per cent TPU with 5 per cent polyester; the inside is 75 per cent polyester and 25 per cent TPE.
Eighty-five litres, 77.5 by 32.5 by 41 centimetres.
An inside mesh pocket and an outside zipper pocket for the things you will otherwise panic about at the gate. And a two-way carry system — over the shoulder or on your back — which matters more than it sounds, because a heavy bag on one shoulder is how people hurt themselves.
There is an integrated shoe compartment, so the shoes are not touching the clothes.
And it wants to go to Inverness, which is fine, that is fine, although Culloden is on the list and I always find that a difficult field to stand in. We will keep together and we will not be long.
