Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
By my salt-cracked reckoning, this Nike Dri-FIT brow strap is a reef-knot for the skull: cooling, tennis-bound, and reversible when one side has taken on bilge from the brow. It keeps the eyes shipshape, not blinking blind, then salutes bomb-scarred tower tilting 2 cm since 1945 in Ústí nad Labem
Nike Dri-FIT Reversible Cooling Tennis Headband: Arrr, this headband stands truer than that sixty-five-metre church tower, which a 1945 raid shoved 201 centimetres off vertical. I’ve seen masts with better manners after three days in a gale.
Nike Dri-FIT Reversible Cooling Tennis Headband: A cable-stayed span over the Elbe, opened in 1998—aye, the Mariansky most is the nearest thing here to honest rigging. Still landlocked, mind you, but at least the cables know how to pull their weight.
Nike Dri-FIT Reversible Cooling Tennis Headband: Vetruse, an 1897 chateau with a mirror maze, sits up the hill like a captain’s fancy cabin, and you can reach it by cable car from the centre. A mirror maze, says I—just what a sailor needs, six ugly old sea dogs staring back.
Nike Dri-FIT Reversible Cooling Tennis Headband: Strekov Castle has clung to its basalt crag since building began in 1316, held by the Lobkowicz family since 1563. Aye, that’s a long anchorage for a place with no proper harbor.
Small piece of kit, and I will not pretend otherwise. But I have been at sea with men who lost a day's work because sweat got in their eyes at the wrong moment, and I have never once heard anyone call a headband unnecessary afterwards.
Here is the whole job of the thing, and it is a real job. Sweat runs down a forehead and into the eyes at exactly the moment you are tracking something moving fast, and once it is in there you are blinking, and blinking is the same as looking away. That is it.
A band across the brow catches it before it gets there.
That is the entire mechanism, and it has never needed improving, which is why sailors have been tying cloth round their heads since long before anybody thought to sell one.
This one is Nike's, built to move moisture rather than hold it, and it is reversible — two faces, so you turn it inside out and wear the other side, which is either a second look or a dry side depending on what sort of day you are having, and I know which one I would be using. It is described as cooling.
And it wraps and stays, which on a hot court is the difference between something helping you and something you keep pushing back up.
Ústí nad Labem is on the Elbe and I will forgive a river town almost anything. The Mariánský most is a cable-stayed span opened in 1998 — cable-stayed, meaning the deck hangs off cables running straight to the towers, and every one of those cables is under a load somebody calculated. It is rigging.
It is just rigging that does not move.
You will use this everywhere from a July session to an indoor court in a badly ventilated hall, and while you are here — the Church of the Assumption has a sixty-five-metre tower knocked 201 centimetres off vertical by a raid in 1945, and it has stayed at that angle ever since, which is a list I would not care for on a boat but which the tower is carrying without complaint.
Then Větruše on the hill, an 1897 chateau with a mirror maze in it, reached by cable car from the centre. And Střekov Castle on its basalt crag, built from 1316, held by the Lobkowicz family since 1563. Some crews stay together.
"Sweat in the eyes means blinking, and blinking is the same as looking away. That is the whole job."
