How YOU Can Save Money On Your Renovation

To make the most of your tennis court, you should keep its surface clean and clear from debris. A tennis court broom is a great solution.

However, you can choose from different designs of brooms. While some people favour a regular brush, others use a drag broom.

How does a drag broom work and why should you buy one for your tennis court?

What Is a Drag Broom?

Like any tennis court broom, a drag broom has an over-wide head, designed to cover as much of the court as possible with every sweep. However, you don't use this broom by pushing it ahead of you.

A drag broom has a long set of handles attached to the head. You stand in front of the broom to get started and grab the handles from behind.

You then drag the broom behind you as you walk over your tennis court. The broom picks up dirt and debris as you go.

Why Use a Drag Broom on Your Tennis Court?

A drag broom does the same kind of job as any other tennis court broom; however, it has a couple of extra advantages that you might find useful. For example, this kind of broom is quick and easy to use.

All you have to do is to walk over your court pulling the broom behind you to pick up dirt and debris. It works as fast as you can walk.

Plus, a drag broom has better ergonomics. You don't have to deal with any push resistance if you use this kind of broom.

If you use a regular tennis court broom, then you have to push the broom along the ground to clear the court. This takes some effort.

If you clear your court regularly, then you might feel tired and achy after using a push broom. You might even end up with stresses and strains in your muscles, joints, back, arms and shoulders. If you have to simultaneously bend forward and push, then you might end up with an injury.

A drag broom is a lot easier on your body. You don't have to strain to use the broom because you pull it along behind you. The muscles in your arms might get a useful little workout, but you shouldn't have any other side effects.
