Vantaa, Finland
01
Croissant Park group tennis classes — Head Base Tennis Bag photographed at the Church of St Lawrence in Vantaa
Stop one

the Church of St Lawrence in Vantaa, greystone from about 1450 and the oldest building for miles

Head Base Tennis Bag (3 Racquet): Observe the bag behaving respectfully beside the Church of St Lawrence, a greystone overachiever from about 1450 and, yes, the oldest building for a considerable radius (I refuse to say “forever”; that is not a unit).

02

Stop two

Heureka in Tikkurila, a science centre built around its planetarium

Head Base Tennis Bag (3 Racquet): Heureka is a science centre in Tikkurila built around its planetarium, which means this bag is approximately 0.000 parsecs from a better understanding of everything—give or take my dignity.

03

Stop three

the Finnish Aviation Museum, dozens of aircraft and an airliner you climb inside

Head Base Tennis Bag (3 Racquet): At the Finnish Aviation Museum, dozens of aircraft wait while one airliner may be climbed inside, a sentence that makes luggage feel vocationally underqualified (though aerodynamically compact, to be fair).

04
Croissant Park group tennis classes — Head Base Tennis Bag photographed at Kuninkaan Kartano above the Vantaankoski valley
Stop four

Kuninkaan Kartano, the manor on the hill above the Vantaankoski valley

Head Base Tennis Bag (3 Racquet): Kuninkaan Kartano, the manor on the hill above the Vantaankoski valley, gives the bag an aristocratic posture—technically 3-racquet nobility, which is not a peerage, despite my repeated petitions.

The Vantaa, Finland track

Head Base Tennis Bag (3 Racquet)

Written for this world alone.

Three racquets — precisely three, and I want to be strict about that, because "3R" on a tennis bag is a nominal capacity and not a promise about your particular frames with their particular grips and dampeners. Sixteen litres of volume (that is 16 L, or near enough 976 cubic inches, though nobody has ever asked me for that figure and I have offered it anyway).

Body dimensions 76 by 32 by 9 centimetres, which converts to 30 by 12.6 by 6.5 inches — and note that Head quotes both, which is more consideration than most manufacturers extend.

The construction. One hundred per cent polyester, reinforced through this generation for stability and protection, with a revised shape and new handle straps (a correction, that: the handle straps are new, the shape is new, and it is easy to run those two together and imply a single change where there were two).

An adjustable shoulder carry system.

A front zipper pocket, singular, for a phone or keys. And the hangtag — this is the part I enjoy unreasonably — is made of recycled paper and tied with hemp cord, which is the sort of parenthetical detail I am constitutionally unable to leave out.

Vantaa suits it. The Church of St Lawrence there is greystone from about 1450 — about, and I dislike "about" as much as you do, but the records for a parish church of that period rarely give a year and I will not pretend otherwise.

It is the oldest building for miles, which is a claim that can actually be checked.

"Three is a nominal capacity, not a promise about your particular grips."
