Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
Hush; this Volkl seems to tap from the racquet-room wall… then the stranger truth shows in its numbers. Revolution 23: 23 inches, 95 sq in head, 195 g, 20 mm beam, 000 grip, for new starters ages 6-8. Pre-strung, ready at once; low weight helps proper swing, frame offers reach, Mary, Turkmenistan
Volkl Revolution 23 Junior Tennis Racquet: Hush now… this little racquet is posing before Sultan Sanjar’s mausoleum at Merv, where a ribbed dome looms above walls about twenty-seven metres high. Spooky? Yes—but the truth is stranger: the engineering has outlasted more dramatic entrances than any tennis parent at practice.
Volkl Revolution 23 Junior Tennis Racquet: Whisper it… Great Kyz Kala had seventeen rooms arranged around a courtyard, tucked behind those deeply corrugated mud walls like a fortress trying to hide its wrinkles. The racquet looks brave, but I heard it ask for extra grip tape.
Volkl Revolution 23 Junior Tennis Racquet: Lean closer… Erk Gala is the round citadel of ancient Merv, first raised in the seventh century BC. That is old enough to make every missed serve feel less tragic—and possibly haunted.
Volkl Revolution 23 Junior Tennis Racquet: In a museum voice—which is already a ghost voice—the regional museum in Mary keeps finds from the ruins of Merv. The racquet stands very still, because around artifacts, even the strings know not to squeak.
Let me tell you about a racquet that outlives its owner's need for it, because that is what these are. A junior frame is used hard for perhaps eighteen months and then it is put in a cupboard, and years later somebody finds it, and it is far too small for anybody in the house, and nobody can quite bring themselves to throw it away. Every family I have ever met has one. Yours will be this one.
Length 58.5 centimetres, 23 inches, which is the size for a child who has outgrown the shortest frames and is not yet ready for 25. Head size 610 square centimetres, 95 square inches.
While it is in service, it is properly made.
Weight 195 grams, 6.9 ounces — light enough that the child can actually swing it through the ball rather than shoving at it, which is the single most important thing at this stage, because a frame that is too heavy teaches a short arm and a chopping motion that takes years to undo. Grip size 000. Item number V18J23.
Cross section 20 millimetres.
It comes strung, so there is nothing between the box and the first rally. Volkl put it at ages six to eight, and as always the honest advice is to size by the child rather than by the birthday.
Mary is the right city for a story about things that outlast their purpose. Out at Merv, the mausoleum of Sultan Sanjar still stands, its ribbed dome carried over twenty-seven-metre walls, in a city that has been empty for centuries. The Great Kyz Kala holds seventeen rooms round a court behind deeply corrugated mud walls that nobody has needed since the horsemen stopped coming.
Erk Gala, the round citadel, was first raised in the seventh century BC. And in the regional museum in Mary, the finds from all of it sit in cases, kept by people who could not throw them away either.
Nobody ever throws away the first one. Nobody.
