Advantages of Har-Tru courts:

 

• HAR-TRU's granular surface acts as a shock-absorbing cushion, allowing players to slide into their returns – and so it is kinder to your joints than hard courts.

 

• On a HAR-TRU court, the ball bounces consistently slower than on hard court surfaces. This results in longer rallies, a greater variety of strokes, a more controlled game.
