UQ Tennis Club — around the club RECREATION PRECINCT REDEVELOPMENT During 2020, work will begin on the construction of UQ’s new $64.49M Health & Recreation Centre which will open in 2022. This will have a huge impact on Tennis at UQ. To make way for the new Health & Recreation Centre, UQ will demolish the Tennis Centre’s Centre Court, the other four tournament-size courts and the Tennis Pavilion (clubhouse, changing rooms & toilets). Replacement toilets and a small clubhouse will be built between Court 11 and the electricity substation. There will be no replacement Tennis courts. The loss of five courts will affect all Tennis Club programs, particularly Fixtures. To accommodate existing numbers, there may have to be format and timeslot changes for Fixtures. Depending on when the demolition of the courts begins, these format and timeslot changes could occur mid season. Planning for the new circumstances is difficult because of the uncertainty about the timeframe for the redevelopment. However, it seems likely that the demolition of any existing facilities will not commence until the new toilets and clubhouse have been built. The UQ Tennis Club is a major centre of community Tennis in Brisbane. Membership is open to UQ Students, Staff & Graduates and the general public.

  • Official Announcement . of the Southern Lawn Tennis
    OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT . OF THE 1 SOUTHERN LAWN TENNIS ASSOCIATION ~ 1961 FUTURE CHAMPION IS N!illions of players and thousands of instructors are deeply indebted to the BALL-BOY COiYIPANY for its many contributions to the instructional end of tennis. BALL-BOY COl\IIPANY, headed by Eric Bergmark and Judy Barta, has virtually revolutionized the teaching of tennis through automation. The first innovation produced by this Company was the BALL-BOY itself, an auto­ matic ball throwing machine that will toss up to forty balls at one of three speeds, at any loft, at five second intervals. Soon to follow were the BALL-BOY "RETRIEVER" and "SERVER." Now, BALL-BOY has released a new item of value to teachers and students of tennis­ the "RE-BOUND-NET" (advertised below). This ingenius device allows the user a longer interval between strokes. The only way that it might be compared to a tennis "backboard" is that it returns balls hit against it. Unlike the back board in any other way, the RE-BOUND­ NET allows several seconds more for the student to prepare himself for the next stroke, without any reduction in ball velocity. "Adjustable tension controls" further add to the ver­ satility of this device. The RE-BOUND-NET may also be tilted at various angles to sim­ ulate a variety of shots. SOUTHERN TE~NIS ~Iagazine wishes to commend BALL-BOY Company on its achievements in the "grass roots" phase of the game of tennis. Their efforts have produced a variety of excellent and varied equipment which is of great value to both the student and instructor.

  • The Impact Dynamics of a Tennis Ball Striking a Hard Surface
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jin- Chernq Wang for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physical Education presented on January 20, 1989 Title: The Impact Dynamics of a Tennis Ball Striking a Hard Surface ,/ 1 Abstract approved:Redacted for Privacy ChrlstiAn W. Zauner Redacted for Privacy ."--- Harry Freund The purpose of this research was to study the impact phenomena of a tennis ball striking a hard surface. Stroboscopic photography was used to collect the ball's impact images from seven angles of incidence, ranging from -23 degrees to -70 degrees with zero, top and back initial spin respectively. Through digitization, the image data were converted and calculated into the experimental parameters which were composed of the input/output of the translational and angular velocities, and into the system parameters which included the coefficient of restitution, coefficient of sliding friction, ball's dwell time, and ball's dwell distance. Mathematical models derived from both the differentiation and integration approach were developed to explore the impact phenomena. A -23 degree angle of incidence for the data sets (zero- spin, topspin, backspin) was selected to carry out the mathematical analysis using both experimental and system parameters. The results were: 1. The successive differentiation approach did not lend itself well to the investigation of tennis ball impact phenomena. 2. The successive integration approach based on the Damped Sin Pulse Model, could be used successfully to describe both the horizontal and vertical forces, velocities and positions of ball impact on a surface. 3. In the case of -23 degree incident angle, the effect of top-spin will produce a high value for the coefficient of restitution, which provides the ball a chance to rebound higher.
