Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
Nine frames disappear into it and I still worry about the zips. 65 litres, two big sections with one insulated, somewhere separate for footwear, and pockets on every face — it would feel calmer if Alanya came first. So many stairs. Please mind the stairs.
Head Tour L Tennis Bag (9 Racquet): I’m smiling, but I have counted the downhill exits from Alanya Castle twice, because this 13th-century Seljuk fortress has roughly 6 kilometers of walls and that is a lot of wall to misplace a group behind. Also, if a cloud appears over the peninsula, I’m pretending it’s historical atmosphere and not a warning.
Head Tour L Tennis Bag (9 Racquet): Please admire Kizil Kule calmly while I check whether everyone is still within shouting distance; the Red Tower is an octagonal Seljuk harbor tower built in 1226. Its red brick is iconic, and yes, I have already worried about the wind from all eight sides.
Head Tour L Tennis Bag (9 Racquet): This is Alanya Tersane, the Seljuk shipyard built in the 13th century with five vaulted dock bays, which is impressive and also gives me five separate places to imagine someone wandering off. If the sea gets loud, nobody panic—except me, obviously, I’m scheduled for that.
Head Tour L Tennis Bag (9 Racquet): Cleopatra Beach is famous for its sand and for the legend that Cleopatra swam here, which is glamorous until I start calculating sunscreen reapplication intervals and wave angles. Stay near the bag; it holds nine racquets and, emotionally, most of my emergency planning.
Right. Before you look at anything else, look at the second compartment, because that is the one that will save you. The Tour L has two main compartments and one of them carries CCT+ climate control lining, which insulates against extreme temperatures. Do you know what happens to a strung racquet in a car boot in July? Nothing good.
I worry about this. Somebody has to.
The tension goes, the grip goes tacky, and you find out at 5-all.
The rest of it, and I have checked all of it twice. Sixty-five litres of volume, 76.5 by 33 by 32 centimetres, so please do measure your boot before you commit. Two large external accessory pockets, one on each side, plus an external phone pocket so you are not digging through the whole bag while somebody calls you about the court booking.
It carries up to nine racquets.
There is an integrated shoe compartment — your shoes do not go in with your kit, that is not negotiable — and an inside zipper pocket for the small things that otherwise vanish. Padding through the body for stability.
Top handles and a full backpack carry system, so you can carry it by hand or on your back, and I would advise the back, because nine racquets is more weight than people expect and shoulders are not designed for asymmetry. Outer fabric 85 per cent polyester and 15 per cent PU; lining 70 per cent polyester and 30 per cent TPE.
Style 260216, in black, blue, green, orange, pink or purple.
Alanya, I will admit, worries me slightly. The castle sits up on a rock above the sea and the walls run for kilometres around it, and the drop on the seaward side is not fenced in the way I would fence it. Do take the cable car.
You will use this bag everywhere from a club league fixture to a full tournament week where you genuinely need every frame in it, and it is also perfect for a day at Cleopatra Beach, provided you have brought water, a hat, and a plan for where the shade goes after two o'clock.
Nine racquets is not excessive. It is one for every way a string can break.
