I just started playing with an old fashioned wood tennis racquet, how should I care for it?
So this racquet was brand new when I bought it, and I like using it – I have a press, when is the appropriate time to use it? my racquet came to me in pristine condition and I plan on keeping it that way!
Don’t leave it in the car in high heat or get it wet as the lacquer may be damaged. You can use the press when you aren’t using it but normally only if you play quite a bit.

Tennis Ball $53.63 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A tennis ball is a ball designed for the sport of tennis, approximately 6.7 cm (2.7 in.) in diameter and is usually yellow, but in recreational play can be virtually any color. Tennis balls are covered in a fibrous fluffy felt which modifies their aerodynamic properties. Its colour has also sparked much debate, with many claiming that tennis balls are generally green and not yellow mainly due to the fluorescent nature of the color. People still get confused about the true colour of tennis balls. In the early years of tennis, balls were often made of leather stuffed with hair or wool. Shakespeare refers to this in Much Ado About Nothing (Act III, Scene II): CLAUDIO: No, but the barbers man hath been seen with him,and the old ornament of his cheek hath already stuffed tennisballs. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 74 Publication Date: 2010/06/14 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.17 inches |
