Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
A 23-inch junior frame in aluminium o-beam, head-light to cut vibration and help a small arm get it round, sized for children around six and up at 45 to 49 inches, and it comes strung. Sorry, that really is the whole list — but it would very much like to show you Pamukkale before you decide.
Head Instinct 23 Junior Tennis Racquet: I’m so sorry to stand in the way of anyone buying towels, but Kaleiçi is known for its narrow lanes of textile stalls and antique shops, so I suppose I’m technically surrounded by better-dressed history than I deserve…
Head Instinct 23 Junior Tennis Racquet: Oh dear, the Horoz Heykeli is here because the rooster is Denizli’s emblem, and I’m just a small racquet trying not to crow over anyone. I can leave if the statue needs more room, obviously.
Head Instinct 23 Junior Tennis Racquet: Sorry, I know Pamukkale’s white terraces are made by mineral-rich thermal waters depositing calcium carbonate, which is far more impressive than my strings making a nervous little ping. The theatre of Hierapolis is on the rim above, probably pretending not to notice me.
Head Instinct 23 Junior Tennis Racquet: Um, Laodicea stood on an old trade road near Denizli, with a grid of ancient streets, and I apologize for looking like I’m asking for directions. I’ll just wait quietly by the baseline of civilization, if that’s alright…
Sorry — before you spend anything, may I just be honest about what this is? It is a 23-inch junior racquet with an aluminium o-beam frame. Aluminium. Not graphite.
I say that first because I would hate for anyone to feel misled later, and because for this size of child it is genuinely the right answer: aluminium survives being dropped, dragged along a fence and left in the back of a car, which is what actually happens to a first racquet.
It is for children around six and older, roughly 45 to 49 inches tall — Head makes the same racquet in 21, 23 and 25 inch lengths, so the 23 is the middle rung of a small ladder, and a child grows out of it, which is the point rather than a flaw.
The balance is head-light, and that matters more than anything else in the specification: it takes weight out of the tip so the child can actually get the frame round in time, and it reduces the vibration coming back through a very small arm. It arrives strung, so there is nothing to arrange, nothing to wait for, and nothing else for me to explain. That really is all of it.
I am sorry it is such a short list — I did check.
Above the city are the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, with the theatre of Hierapolis on the rim looking down over them, and I am told people walk up barefoot through the warm water. I have never been brave enough to suggest an itinerary before, so please ignore me if you would rather not.
Denizli, if you have a moment.
