Terre Davis clay is ideal for converting English shale courts. The clay dramatically improves the performance levels of the surface. Traditional shale and blaes court clubs in the UK now have an opportunity of significantly upgrading their playing surface with Italian ITF approved clay. We have found that these courts, sometimes over 100 years old; that the correct level of top dressing has not been maintained causing ‘clinker’ to appear at the surface, which causes bad bounces and uneven surface levels. Tailored to any budget, we can convert the shale courts to clay or do a ‘makeover’ and slowly build up the level of clay.
Terre Davis is the choice of clay for the British National Tennis Centre, London, the US Tennis Association, Florida and the Australian Federation, Melbourne Park.
A process used since the early 1970s to create the Italian clay by grinding ancient bricks and cooking them at a very low temperature.
The bricks are crushed to tiny grain size which makes excellent drainage.
Precisely for this unique feature, the famous red Italian clay courts are in demand all over the world.
