Tennis Anyone?
This multicache is located at one of our favorite parks that we
enjoy playing tennis at. This small park also facilitates many
other types of sports.
Some fun tennis trivia:
*Tennis has been around for many hundreds of years and has evolved
over time.
The game as we know it today is about 130 years old.
*The first time shorts were worn in a professional game, instead of
long 'trousers' was in 1933.
*The fastest serve was clocked at 150 mph.
*Andre Agassi was only 18 and had already won over 2 million
dollars in prize money.
*The term love refers to a score of zero. This came about by the
term, 'Not for love nor money'.
*The last wooden racquets used in championship matches was in 1988.
Then they switched to aluminum and graphite.
Now the choices have never greater, and more confusing, with the
tecno-garble that could confuse a rocket scientist!
Choices include the 3-D nanometer-sized monocular network that
delivers unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness
and increased power with the space-age material Aerogel known for
being the lightest solid; the n.Coded that has nanosized oxide
crystals that permeate the voids between the carbon filters for
twice the strength and satiability; and of course the 'Memory
Titanium' that doubles restitution force and creates super
resiliency and converts the torsion into high unparrelled repulsion
power, giving tremendous snap ball speed.
It's enough to make your head spin, all to the courts with your old
wooden racquet!
