Plexicushion

Plexicushion

Plexicushion is a tennis surface system made by Plexipave, a company based in Massachusetts, USA.

Description

According to the Plexipave website [ [http://www.plexipave.com/systems/tennis/plexicushion/plexicushion.html Plexipave::Sport Surfacing Systems ] ] there are four different types of Plexicushion. They are Prestige, Competition, Tournament and 2000.

The Plexicushion Systems consist of a Plexicushion substrate (Which is a blend of latex, rubber, and plastic particles) and the 100% acylic Plexipave Surface. The substrate forms a layer which absorbs body shock and reduces muscle fatigue. The Plexipave [ [http://www.plexipave.com.au/plexicushion.php Plexipave ] ] surface provides the system with a consistent and uniform bounce, long-lasting colour, and allows for the installers to meet speed of play specifications.

Australian Open

On 30 May 2007 the Australian Open and Tennis Australia announced Plexicushion Prestige as the new Australian Open surface. The surface was installed in time for the 2008 Australian Open, and was accompanied by a change in surfaces at the lead-up tournaments to the Australian Open. For a list of these tournaments, see 2008 ATP Tour and 2008 WTA Tour.
