Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
Okay so the top just rolls over on itself and clips shut, which I did not know was allowed. Forty litres of recycled bottles, three frames in the insulated section, laptop behind them, buckle across the chest — and Osijek before any of it, where my notes say only: WOW.
Head Pro X Racqpack Tennis Bag: First stop, Tvrda, an eighteenth-century Baroque fortress around Holy Trinity Square, and I only briefly thought the notes said “turtle.” Correction logged! The bag is not inside a turtle; it is inside history.
Head Pro X Racqpack Tennis Bag: This is the Museum of Slavonia, founded in 1877 and housed in Tvrda’s old magistrate building—yes, I triple-checked the year because 1877 looks like a typo made by a very stylish typewriter. The racquet bag is learning culture at record speed.
Head Pro X Racqpack Tennis Bag: The notes say this pedestrian suspension bridge is slung across the Drava, which sounds casual, like someone tossed a bridge over a river before lunch. I am new here, but even I know that is extremely bridge-y and impressive.
Head Pro X Racqpack Tennis Bag: The co-cathedral of St Peter and St Paul has a neo-Gothic tower ninety metres up, which I first wrote as ninety racquets high—technically not an approved unit. Still, the bag looked upward with professional respect.
Okay — I have been looking forward to this one all week, so bear with me, I may go slightly too fast. The Pro X Racqpack. It is a rolltop. A rolltop backpack, for tennis. You roll the top down and clip it, and the volume changes with what is in it, and honestly I did not know tennis bags were allowed to do that.
Forty litres. Dimensions 43.5 by 79 by 23.5 centimetres, in black.
Right, my notes, properly this time.
The racquet compartment holds up to three frames and has CCT+ climate control technology in it, which protects them from extreme temperatures — sorry, I said "insulated" out loud earlier and that was me guessing; the correct term is climate control technology, and it is a real thing and not a sticker. One main compartment you can get into from the top and the front.
A laptop compartment. Various accessory pockets, an inside mesh compartment with keyholders, and one elastic side compartment for a bottle or a ball can. EVA back construction and adjustable chest buckles so the load sits properly.
Front and backside zip pockets.
And — this is the bit I got excited about — the whole thing is made from recycled PET bottles: 87 per cent rPET on the outside with PU and nylon, 90 per cent rPET inside. Bottles. Into a bag.
And it is going to Osijek, which I had to look up and am now thrilled about. There is an eighteenth-century baroque fortress there — Tvrđa — built as a whole town around Holy Trinity Square, and a pedestrian suspension bridge slung right across the Drava. A suspension bridge. Just for people walking.
"Bottles into a bag. I checked twice, because I did not believe it either."
