Default The new wind screens

I'm on the fence about how some of the new wind screens locations. Some are top down at some rec centers and some are in the middle.

If the courts are lined with bushes then the top down don't seem to be problem in windy conditions. But, if the courts are open (usually cross wind) allows the wind to blow the ball pretty bad at the bounce with more open space at the bottom, course if makes no difference when lobbing once the ball above the fence.

The rec centers that has the wind screens in the middle IMO works better regardless. IMO the screens dividing tennis courts from pickle ball courts that have high fence that screen should be at bottom to help prevent cross winds if there not going to full screen in the courts. I know this will make NO difference posting here, but IMO winds screens are there to slow down the wind on windy days.

Ok jump in with the negative, ] don't play on windy days ]this not Baseball or tennis where the balls are heavier and has nothing to do with golf. e
