The
Greens Country Club, Oklahoma City, OK
"The unique thing about
Pro-Bounce after playing on it and installing it here at the club is the
incredible short turn around time for installation. The process only takes
a week to 10 days to install whereas with post tension concrete can take
up to a 90 day period.
The members can't visually tell what the difference is
between the Pro-Bounce surface because it looks just like a hard court. Once
they step on the surface, the love the feel. Instructors love it because
it plays with a soft feel and it makes a difference at the end of the day
because it is easier on the body and joints."

Division One NCAA Tennis Facility
"Our courts were
constructed on top of a concrete slab over a parking garage with numerous
expansion joints, tolerance inadequacies and other construction
problems.
The Pro-Bounce Surface was able to give us a surface that
is forgiving to the body with uniform playability, virtually eliminating
the problems with the expansion joints and tolerances. The surface
also is heavy enough to almost totally negate the air pocket problem
associated with many carpet like surfaces. It is a great surface to
practice and play on."

Indian Creek Yacht &
Country Club, Kilmarnock, VA
"We have enjoyed the Pro-Bounce court
surface for almost a year now in our new indoor facility at Indian Creek. It
has been all it was touted to be and more. No one is complaining that the
surface is causing any body joint problems. On the contrary, the
players are playing 2-3 hours and having no problems. Further, the play on
the courts is a delight. Ball bounces true and the speed of play is
just right for our Club members.
"We further have been pleased with the minimum amount of
maintenance required to keep the courts in top condition. About 2-3
hours of sweeping weekly has been all that is required. Thanks,
Novagrass!"

Kinzie
Wright, Captain-G.W.Men's Tennis Team, states, "I
think our Court Surface is soft and very forgiving. The surface gives a
little so it is easier on your joints and body but the surface is not
so soft to where it affects the bounce of the ball. This softness makes
the court a little bit slower, but you are still able to generate enough
pace on the ball to compliment your game."

Quail Run Tennis Club,
USPTA Tennis Pro, Patrick Narvaiz, states,
"Our clientele really like the cushion feel
that lets them play longer without affecting their feet, leg and hip
joints plus their backs. The Pro-Bounce court plays between a clay
court and a hard court surface. . . . The players love it! It is helping
my clientele extend their years of playing and it is helping me prolong my
tennis-teaching career."

Quail
Run Tennis Club, Santa Fe, NM
"Quail Run is a high-end gated
community and private club in Santa Fe, NM. Due to the extreme
freeze-thaw cycles at our 7,000 foot altitude, Quail Run is constantly
repairing major cracks that would appear in the two tennis court surfaces.
We were looking for a more permanent solution to the crack problems we
were experiencing and considered completely replacing the courts with a
post-tension concrete slab, or resurfacing with a new blacktop system or
sand-filled artificial grass system.
While getting a bid from Novagrass (who I have worked with at
other facilities), it was suggested that we consider a new system that
they had just developed. After researching the system and visiting a
court where the product was in use, we decided to have the Pro-Bounce
system installed. It has proven to do what it was advertised to do.
Our Pro-Bounce court was one of the first to be installed
west of the Mississippi. We are proud of Quail Run's tennis courts and
welcome anyone who is interested in the Pro-Bounce System to try out our
courts and visit with the Pro and staff."

ASPHALT CRACKED
TENNIS COURTS
"If
you have asphalt courts, and if you have cracks, you're probably throwing
good money after bad in maintenance costs. My name is Larry Griffith. I'm
project manager for the Recreational Centers of Sun City, AZ. We
have 27 tennis courts and 5 platform tennis courts located at three
separate sites in our community, and they are all asphalt. The
Recreational Centers have spent thousands of dollars over the past several
years repairing cracks that keep returning. You can fill, sand, and
re-surface, and within two years your cracks are back. Short of demolition
and pouring post tension concrete, there really hasn't been a successful
long-term solution in asphalt crack repair.
I have spent numerous hours researching
products on the market that lay claim to the solution of crack repair.
There were none that I felt comfortable with until I ran across some
information on the Pro-Bounce by Novagrass. This is an outstanding
product which you can combat your asphalt crack problems. The
finished product weighs approximately 5 lbs. per square foot. It is easy
on the joints, looks and plays as well, if not better than, any asphalt
court you have ever played on.
We have resurfaced four tennis courts and
two platform tennis courts with the Pro-Bounce material. Our
community of tennis players rave over the performance and overall
appearance of our new tennis courts. They are already asking when
we can finish more courts. As Project Manager and a Licensed General
Contractor, I highly recommend Pro-Bounce as a solution for your cracked
asphalt courts. Dollar for dollar, you will be applying a solution to your
asphalt crack problems that will save you thousands over the long
run."
