Philosophy
What do you base your decision on, when choosing a technically advanced product, such as a tennis surface?
Is it the purely economic, technical or quality considerations, or maybe the most obvious, the purely athletic aspect?
In 1982 we developed the BROSS SLIDE surface to satisfy the modern needs of tennis players. It was the first textile sliding surface for indoor tennis courts.
Since then, various manufacturers have tried to copy our tennis surfaces for indoor courts. But the base requires a convincing quality and a series of processes working together seamlessly.
While the development of indoor tennis court surfaces progressed, there was no development for outdoor courts. The ultimate in tennis culture, playing on the red clay courts, could not be matched.
Skilled tennis players did not accept the hardening silica sand surfaces and the various hard surfaces.
Gliding and turning and the high stress on joints and muscles on the hard and caking tennis surfaces were the result.
While our competition was selling hard and silica sand surfaces for outdoor courts, our tennis experts worked with tennis instructors and world-class players to develop new procedures. Using computer simulations, we were able to improve the traditional clay court and change it into an all-weather membrane. The computer simulation revealed new possibilities for us and simultaneously always defined the stress limits.
As you can see, our new all-weather clay court has become a science onto itself and is based on many years of development.
