First in the world:



Plexicushion:

Plexicushion is the world's premier tennis surface and represents the latest in sports surfacing technology. It is a system that provides a more comfortable playing surface that enhances both team and individual performance.

Plexicushion is a specially constructed "cushioned acrylic" surface, designed to increase shock absorption in the court itself and reduce player's foot and leg fatigue.

Unlike other cushioning systems, it provides a firm, uniform surface, enabling players to play on the surface not in it. This prevents the subtle fatigue caused by playing on a soft, spongy surface. Additionally, Plexicushion is available at an affordable price.

Plexicushion is a series of resilient layers installed in liquid form on site that contain rubber and acrylic particles. The multiple cushion layers are installed prior to the Plexipave® Surfacing System.

First in the World.. Mmm but is it the Best in the world!! Australian coach Tony Roche certainly doesn't agree.. (He has coached many top tennis players including World Number 1 Roger Federer) http://www.theage.com.au/news/tennis/roche-loves-the-surface-his-charge-so-despises/2007/12/20/1197740466679.html

And yes, even though it did manage to displace Rebound Ace from the Australian open, Plexicushion doesn't seem to be all it is claimed to be. There is still a lot of controversy surrounding the courts about claims that have not come to pass.

Will be interesting to see what happens.
