One of the most impressive shots a tennis player can display is a dive at the net. The agility, reflexes and slight bit of luck required make dive shots one of the most exciting aspects of the sport.

Well, hard court is concrete stone. Grass is soft dirt with a nice cozy layer of grass on it... I don't think you need to play both types to know which one falls softer ;-)
Clay is the most forgiving in terms of both how hard it is on the joints and the dangers of diving, both of these resulting from it being softer than cement and the dirt that grass courts are played on. That's why Nadal has pushed for more of the tennis season being on clay, because it is easier on the body. I have a feeling I'm talking to someone else that hasn't played on a grass court
And I am feeling you are talking out of your ass if you wanna take the conversation this route. Nadal pushing for it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. Clay slows the game down, of course it is lighter on your body. Anyway I played on grass, clay, hard and that carpet that some tennis halls use. With only the last one mentioned being softer as grass. Even Becker in the fucking interview points out that grass is soft and names it as his favorite to do it on. Besides my own experience who do I trust more? A former world class player or some random Joe youtube comment? Maybe you just had really shitty courts. So foh.
when i was playing , diving was quite usual at or around the net. but it had to be a really important point to dive from the baseline ^^^ Gael is crazy :)
