What is Artificial Clay?
Artificial Clay provides a practical alternative to traditional clay tennis court surfaces. These artificial surfaces give the appearance of a traditional clay court without the associated drawbacks.
This type of surface is suitable for tennis only. The ball bounces higher and slower on artificial clay in comparison to artificial grass, which allows for longer rallies and more strategic gameplay. This is ideal for players who enjoy baseline rallies and using topspin.
Genuine clay courts are impractical for many users as their use is seasonal. Artificial clay allows year-round use and therefore is ideal for domestic and club applications where training and play may not conform to the tennis season. Another reason to use artificial clay over and above traditional clay is the ease of maintenance.
A traditional clay tennis court will need to have reconstruction work undertaken annually in the spring, this is often at great expense and inconvenience to the owner. This is not the case with an artificial clay surface, although a certain level of maintenance is still required. With an artificial clay surface there is no need for expensive irrigation systems either further improving ease-of-maintenance.
