I love all the hype around the blue clay. This story is making everyone look bad in my opinion. On one side you’ve got tournament organizers, who many are claiming are simply doing to blue clay to stand out (is that such a bad thing?) and make more money. On the other hand are players that win millions of dollars a year for playing a sport complaining that they aren’t used to it. Come on, play. Everyone be quiet. And I’ll watch because I can finally see the ball!

It's so pretty...or is it?
