The
Cushion Advantage and Proven Performance
Cushion
is something all players want and need. The constant pounding and
jarring to body joints is wearing tennis players out and making
the game less enjoyable. But real relief can only be provided by
a true impact absorbing cushion surface, and PREMIER COURT®
provides this, making it the most advanced cushioning system ever
developed. Traditional
acrylic cushion coating products and traditional
soft courts fail to come close to providing the cushion effect
PREMIER COURT® provides.
One
example of a traditional acrylic cushion coating product applied
to a hard court pavement is the courts at the US Open Tennis Complex
in New York. When you compare cushion values of PREMIER COURT®
to the type of surface at the US Open, you see that PREMIER
COURT® provides more than TWICE
the cushion effect than a traditional acrylic cushion product. This
is accomplished while providing virtually the exact same playing
characteristics and playability.

One
example of a traditional soft court is the red clay at the French
Open. In comparing the cushion values of PREMIER COURT®
to clay or fast dry type surfaces, the numbers show that PREMIER
COURT® provides a consistent cushion
value throughout the court, often times twice as much as the clay
or fast dry type court. This is accomplished while providing far
more consistent playing characteristics and playability.
