The Lawn Tennis Set

This is the lawn tennis set that enables two players to serve and volley on grass in the same manner as the original game. Evolving from the original indoor Medieval sport--also known as Royal tennis, most famously enjoyed by Henry VIII at his palace at Hampton Court--lawn tennis was invented in 1873 as an outdoor diversion for guests at a Welsh garden party. Faithful to its origins, this set includes a 12' long x 3' high net that stands up on grass without the need for stakes, enabling quick re-adjustment. The two aluminum racquets are sized for smaller hands for easy handling and response, while the low-compression foam ball enables slower, controlled play. Suitable for set up on a driveway or other hard surfaces. Ages 3 and up. Minor assembly. 25' L x 3' H. (7 lbs.)
