Ball Marks and Hard Court Life
This week I learned that the procedures for inspection of ball marks to confirm or overrule line calls only apply during clay court play. Anyone who has played tennis on a hard court in Texas following a dusty windy day has experienced what I call “West Texas Clay.” It is pretty common around these parts to play on outdoor hard courts where the ball leaves a discernible mark. Additionally, depending on how indoor courts are maintained, tennis ball fuzz can also leave clear bounce marks on the court.
