Just saw this thread ....... ha-ha-ha ....... ho-ho-ho ......what can I say?
Local tennis hitting backboards?
Seems like local tennis courts in Moultonborough, Holderness, Meredith, Canter Harbor, Ashland, and Plymouth really picked up a lot of new users over the last summer what with the pandemic going on. Apparently, the pandemic moved people to go play outdoor tennis.
What some of these towns want to do to promote the game is to BUILD a HITTING BACKBOARD on their town courts so's individual players can practice hitting the tennis ball.
The best hitting backboards are built using plywood, 2x4's, 2x6's, and green paint and they get people to use the courts for hitting practice.
Without a hitting backboard the courts tend to be empty of players, except for the increase due to the pandemic for last summer and fall.
Ok ....... so, all you pandemic tennis players around these here towns ...... I won't be naming the towns with NO hitting backboards ..... but they know who they are ....... don't they ....... Ashland, Centre Harbor, and Plymouth ....... come on now ...... your very nice courts are all missing the boat here ...... what with NO green tennis hitting backboard???? If Holderness, Meredith and Moultonborough can have a tennis hitting backboard then why not in Ashland, Centre Harbor, and Plymouth?
Do it for the children, do it for the adults, just do it ....... go build a 12'-high x 24'-wide tennis hitting backboard ..... and the best ones are built with plywood, 2x4's, 2x6's, and green paint! It will last out there, attached to the chain link fence for something like 40-years with a strong build, so you will be building it for all the new tennis players to practice hitting the yellow tennis ball well into your town's future.
