The difference between tennis & soft tennis

 Last week,I introduced playing style. Today I introduce the difference between tennis & soft tennis. I will talk about the difference between tennis & soft tennis.
 There is a big difference in many in tennis and soft tennis. I will speak about the difference today.

                                       

 First, the difference in a racket. The left is a tennis racket and the right is a soft tennis racket. Compared with a tennis racket, a soft tennis racket is thin. A tennis racket has many things of 300g or more. On the other hand, a soft tennis racket is about 200g. Moreover, a tennis racket is expensive. The reason why the tennis racket is heavier is the tennis ball is heavier than a soft tennis ball. A heavy ball can be returned only with a heavy racket. The gut of a tennis racket is hard. On the other hand, the racket of soft tennis is soft. Like these, there is a difference among many about the racket.

 

 Second, the diference between tennis ball & soft tennis ball. A tennis ball is hard. On the other hand, a soft tennis ball is soft. A soft tennis ball changes simply. It turns at a soft tennis ball very much. Moreover, although a tennis ball is yellow, a softtennis ball is white. Since the soft tennis ball is lighter, it is easy to be subject to the influence of a wind. Moreover, a soft tennis ball does not bounce. In tennis and soft tennis, what is used is different primarily.

 

Third, Structure and length of a game. First, there are only doubles in soft tennis. On the other hand, there are singles and doubles in tennis. And the soft tennis of a game is shorter. The tennis of a game is longer, and since there are singles in tennis, I think that the tennis is more plesant. I think tennis is powerful.

 

Forth, The difference in player population. There are quite many soft tennis clubs among junior high school students. Because the reason can begin soft tennis freely. The soft tennis is easier. Tennis is difficult. An adult has much those who play tennis. This is because tennis is a popular sport. That is, there are those who begin soft tennis and who plays tennis from the middle. Globally, there are very many people who play tennis. Soft tennis is not spread on Asia.

Fifth, I will compare a play. The upper is an animation of tennis and the under is an animation of soft tennis. If you look at these two, you will think that you understand these things.

 

 I have described some differences between tennis and soft tennis. Each has the strong point. Isn't the direction which you are also interested begun?

Playing styles

 Last week,I introduced world`s big tournament. Today I introduce playing style.I will talk about playing style.
 There are various play styles in tennis, all-around player, aggressive baseliner, counterpuncher, serve & volleyer, Big server and Junk bowler, etc... These are famous styles. One of the fun of a sport called tennis has merit of a play style. Also a pro's game or amateur's game, a play style divides victory or defeat. There is affinity in a play style. Moreover, there is individuality also in a stroke. The tennis player finds the play style suitable for himself. And they practices in order to win in a game. There are for singles and for doubles depending on a play style. I think that I will introduce some today.
 First, aggressive baseliner. This is a style which breaks down a partner by strong stroke.
An enemy is beaten by hitting an always strong ball from the back of a coat. If there are many mistakes, they will become free self-desturuction. They will become strong if all hit balls enter. They are most play styles in a tennis player. The strong pro's player is generally applied to this. It will be taken by the swift-running player even if they continues stroking from back. Therefore, it is weak to the player who is swift-running and has few mistakes. In the case of amateur, a mistake increases in many cases. The next animation is this aggressive baseliner`s example.

 Second, Counterpunche. The more a counterpuncher's hit ball of a partner is early, the more he strikes it back early. That is, it strikes back using the power of a enemy's hit ball. Although a fundamental is not much strong ball is not hit strong, a counter is carried out when the enemy has attacked. The person of this play style beats a person stronger than himself. However, when counterpunchers play a game, the strong ball of each other can be hit and there is nothing.
Therefore, ability cannot be demonstrated mutualy.
 Third, serve & volleyer. This play style comes out of a front, in order to carry out a volley after hitting a serve. That is, they do not stroke fundamentally. They make only a serve and a volley finish all points. Therefore, a game also finishes early comparatively. Their play style is contrastive with an aggressive baseliner. The pro has few such play styles. However, at one side, there are very many these play styles among college students. This is because the point can be taken most early most comfortably. Moreover, since there are many players who make a volley elated, there are many doubles players. A lower animation is description of serve and volley.

 Forth, Big server. A big server is a player which tries to take a point only by fast serve. In tennis, the power of a serve is very important. A service ace increases very much in case of a pro's game. In a pro's game, a service game takes the point and is natural. The big server takes a point intently by fast serve. There are some players who hit a ball of 250 km/h. It is a play style which will not be made if there is no power in the shoulder.

 There are many other play styles of tennis. If you are interested in it, I will want you to investigate by myself. Which play style do you like?

Big tournament

 Last week,I introduced 4 top pro player. Today I introduce world`s big tournament.I will talk about world`s big tournament.
 There are four big tournaments, Australian Open, U.S. Open, British Open and French Open. Today I introduce one at a time.


 First,  The Championships, Wimbledon. This is one of the conventions in the 4 power case of tennis, and is the largest tournament in the world. In this tournament, the player is obliged to wear white wear, also while practice also playing a game. This originates in having worn the wear which the first champion of the championship woman singles  arranged in white in 1884. This time is rainy and there is also much adjournment of a game. The roof was atached to the center court in 2009. The champion of host country Britain did not appear Fred Perry in 1936 at the end at boy singles in woman singles champion Virginia Wade in 1977, but the word "Wimbledon phenomenon" was produced. The trophy is awarded to a champion from the chairman of a club. In the past, Roger Federer has won five straight victories. In Wimbledon, Roger Federer shows overwhelming strength. There were also the finals which took no less than 11 hours in in the past. Wimbledon is a tournament which rises most in the world.
 Second, Australian Open. This is a tournament held in Australia. The stadium with a roof of two opening-and-closing types will be prepared here. Australian Open of the tornament which installed the roof of the opening-and-closing type in the hall is the beginning. This is a tournament held in Australia. The stadium with a roof of two opening-and-closing types will be prepared here.Australian Open of the tornament which installed the roof of the opening-and-closing type in the hall is the beginning. Since this convention is very hot, heatstroke occurs often. Unlike Wimbledon, this convention is held by a hard court. For here two years, Djokovic has won two straight victories.
 Third, French Open. This tournament is held in Paris in France. French Open is known also for using a clay court uniquely in the four major conventions. Therefore, there is pleasure different from others. There are many upsets in this tournament. Therefore, this coat may be called "a red evil." If it wins the victory in other tournaments repeatedly, there are some persons in whom only this tournament cannot win the victory. On this coat, Nadal is proud of overwhelming strength. The tendency for "clay court specialists "to occupy most is strong at the latest boy singles champion. There is pleasure unique to a clay court in this convention.
Forth, U.S.Open Chanpionship. There is pleasure unique to a clay court in this convention. In 1968, the open-ized measure which shows opening to a professional player in a United States championship was carried out, and U.S. Open was born. This convention is held in New York. The world's largest tennis court is used in U.S. Open.
 The tennis player in the world is looking forward to these four tournaments. All pro tennis players aim at playing an active part in this tournament. I hope Japanese player will win more.

Modern tennis

Last week,I introduced tennis`s history. Today I introduce modern tennis.I will talk about a change to the modern tennis. Tenis`s change is a thing about a finer change of a racket, a play style, etc.

 

 First, I describe change of a racket. Primitive ages were wooden rackets. There are some which were made from the bamboo in part, and to flip was made better than a tree. Then, what contained the fiber in steel, an aluminum alloy, a titanium system, graphite, resin, or resin, and the composite material which combined further resin with which character is different came to be used. While the jump of a ball became good, it contributed to the weight saving of the racket. Unlike the tree, temperature, humidity, and distortion were lost. There is no large change to there about area. But, the area of the portion which stretches a gut increased. The frame`s thickness becomes thicker and thicker, and the more it is thick, the more the speed of a ball goes up. Although what was made from the intestines of the sheep was using all the guts of the old racket, the thing using a synthetic fiber is popularity now. Now, "nylon" and the gut of "polyester" are in use. This is because nylon and polyester are cheaper.The speed of the ball went up by progress of the technology of a racket. Moreover, since it became light, it becomes easy to give a child. The quality of tennis also changed by progress in a racket, and tennis lovers also increased.

Second, I descrive change of people who do tennis.Although it was the sport which only the aristocrat was performing a long time ago, it spread also among people gradually. As the background, the price of rackets having become cheap and people become rich. It became a sport which anyone can do it now.
 Third, I descrive change of technique.Although the old pro's player was fighting backhand single hand, it began to become the mainstream after the player who strikes backhand with both hands at a certain time appeared. And the play style to do topspin is applied by a forehand with a time and which is pushed by power became in use more.

 Last, Idescrive change of tennis`s populality. The popularity of tennis increased with the time. Although it was unpopular in the time when no television is also still, it was taken up by media, such as television and a newspaper, and tennis became a sport nearer to people and also went up people's name recognition. Shuzo Matsuoka raised the popularity and notability of tennis. He raised many distinguished services in the convention in the world. About that, it will write with a next report. Although the popularity and notability of tennis went up thanks to him, the popularity from a small child also increased the influence of the anime "The prince of tennis." There are also very many people of having seen the anime among the persons of the age like the present college student and a high school student, and having begun tennis. And Kei Nishikori played tennis famous further in recent years. He records the Japanese successive generation highest ranking, and is still continuing progress. Their activity is raising the popularity of tennis.
 I talked about tennis`s history by the present last week and I talked tennis`s change in this week . I think that I will talk about the top player in the world next week.
 See you next week.

history

Today I introduce tennis`s history.

The history of tennis will go back to the century [ 15th ] B.C. In Egypt, it is carried out as one of the religious acts, and the mural painting on which the figure of people who hit each other's ball was drawn is discovered. This ball game was transmitted from Egypt to the Roman Empire empire, and became what asks the direct ancestor of the present tennis.
It generated in France around the 8th century, was called "La・So-yu" at the beginning, and was behind established with the France aristocrat's play. It is said that the reason in which this ball game prospered in France began from the priest of Christianity having had and copied interest to what the Muslim was performing as a religious act like the Egypt age. It still hits each other's ball with a palm or a glove at the time, and it is called Italy in the 14th century

that the prototype of the present racket appeared.

The old tennis court was located in the cloister, and the wall and the inclined ceiling surrounded the four quarters, and it was larger than the coat of present-day lawn tennis.
What existing is little, although it was much in fashion among the aristocrats of Europe from the 18th century to the 19th century and many coats were built. Unlike many other sports, the history of lawn tennis is short. Major Walter Crompton Wingfield (Britain) devised lawn tennis in December, 1873 as entertainment which delights the visitor invited when a garden party was opened in its landed property. It spread quickly focusing on the leisured classes of Britain or the United States around from the second half of the 19th century.
The 1st Wimbledon championship by 22 amateur athletes was held in London on July 19, 1877. The U.S. national lawn tennis association standardized the rule, and it systematized the game in 1881. The 1st convention of the "United States singles championship" was held in Newport in 1881, and the "United States woman singles championship" started in 1887. These are the prototypes of present U.S. Open. The Davis Cup of the confrontation game classified by country of boy tennis started in 1900.
History of tennis of Japan As for the beginning of the tennis in Japan, lawn tennis has spread through Yokohama in 1876. This will hit, two years after the Wingfield proof acquires a patent. Since supply of tools was difficult, it devised the software (soft type) tennis unique to Japan using a rubber ball, and it developed uniquely. The engineer of the Mita ground rubber will create the rubber ball for tennis for the first time in 1890, and tennis will spread from this even in Japan. Then, Keio adopted tennis formally in 1913 and it became the cause for tennis to spread among Japanese people.

In 1877, two owners of the "all England croquet club" located in London suburban Wimbledon will make and put the rule of new lawn tennis on the market with the designer of a ball paying attention to the ball. Seemingly, at this time, there was patent dispute among Major Wingfield. The "all England croquet club" changed the name to the "all England croquet and lawn tennis club", and held the tournament by the amateur athlete based on a new rule. the historical game used as this 1st Wimbledon gathers July 19, 1877, 22 participating players (boy singles), and 200 spectators (at the time of the final), and is held. The materials of a racket are also a leather string from an empty hand, and a glove in a time, Development of the bicycle industry after developing like a implement and entering especially in the 19th century made processing of rubber and iron easy, and is greatly concerned with development of modern tennis.
