Kelab Sultan Idris...town area

2 clay courts, 2 different type of clay. 1 like RG and 1 more normal clay

Do we have to be a member only we can play or can just pay per hour?

Arrange a friendly game with them last year but they dont have enough player, so we went there played like 4hrs plus, afaik have to be a member to play there..

BTW, the courts are not properly measured ( due to some difficulties ), 1 side is short compared to the others but still can play

I have played on clay courts, its extremely easy on the knee's and shoes, abit slippery if you use normal hardcourt tennis shoes, it doesn't hurt if you fall down, though it may look like it hurts, esp if you drive a Boris Becker 'dive' volley.
I remember using Adidas Stefan Edberg shoes for the court the one with his 'S E' logo on the shoe tongue, reaally durable.Things I liked about clay, hehehe when you play it feels kinda exclusive :-o! ,low maintenance for tennis shoe, I played 8 months on just clay and my shoe sole still looked quite brand new.Not like now ARRRGGG play 2 months on hardcourts have to ganti to new pair of shoes.....

Hahahaha I found my old pair of Adidas shoes on ebay!

But holy crap I paid SGD160-180 for those babies when I bought them. Damn these were built like a tank@!
One thing I didn't really enjoy on clay courts......high moonballs to my backhand, I was still a teen, my backhand(single) was decent but not advance level yet......

If you have a chance to try clay courts go for it. Sliding, you have to start early and 'slide' into your shots....
