I have recently noticed that tennis straps, especially new ones, are "loosening" overnight, letting the net height creep up.
I recently played at my indoor club (NO PICKLEBALL) and the Court One strap (Div 1 women's team plays matches and practice there) was literally at 38"!
Twice before on this same court it was at least 36 1/2 or 37" (Singles sticks are used for the matches only and are not left up, but removed immediately after play)
A couple of public courts I have played on were 1 - 1 1/2 " too high (pickleballers come and use these courts, pull the strap to the side to get it down to "their" height, and just leave it that way, so that may account for some of this)
newish staps being slick and allowing creep? Vandals? Gremlins?
Anybody else notice this?
