played on har tru courts that had the water break on them and had dried out for like 3 days (which were already fairly dry before)

I now know why nadal complained about madrid's blue clay

you get so accustomed to some sort of feeling that when it becomes more slick and you fall multiple times it gets frustrating, especially not being able to play at a hundred percent because of footing/stability

Grass courts. I have played on true grass as well as an artificial grass court and they are really terrible. Much worse bounces than on clay. The ball really skids, footing is not good and it hardly seems like tennis.

Any clay. Clay is for pigs that want to play in the mud. (joke) In high school we would play on the basketball court in the winter. If you can get your racket prepared on that court you can do it on any court. Forget about hitting with anything but an eastern or continental grip, because the ball would never bounce above your knees.

Slow courts, especially ones that have just been refinished. Grass is an old school serve and volley game that punishes base liners, clay is a finesse game. Love them both, but those dam newly refinished slug courts are for the birds.
