Re(2): Why the difference between courts?

As usual David II nails it. Ocala had a natural feel to it, as did Daytona to me...not too fast or too slow. Miami was the 'truest' court as far as bounces and balls off the wall. Fort Pierce definitely the slowest and Orlando the fastest....everything comes off back wall at Orlando. I liked Tampa and Palm Beach too...but the white floor at Palm Beach made it a little hard to pick up the ball off a bounce...white pelota on white floor backdrop. North Miami was good for an amateur court, a little dangerous with strong players on such a small court. And the one time I played at Milford amateur it was dark...lighting not good. Hard to see the ball at times, guess the regulars got used to it.
