The Tecnifibre X One Ball is probably the best ball on the market right now. It’s a high quality, pro-level tournament ball and has been used at several ATP 250/500 tournaments including Marseille, Rotterdam, and Gstaad.

The only reason I don’t use this ball more regularly is the price. They come in at double the cost of the Tennis Point Premium Ball, and although they’re great balls, I don’t think you get double the performance. Austin then moved up to the net, “I started off with a few volleys going long but once I worked out my rhythm I was finding it really easy to get my spots, getting nice depth on my volleys and closing it out really well.”When they are fresh from the cardboard tube, I find them hard and challenging to play with, but 20 minutes in, they improve. Overall I find them slightly inconsistent with bounce, but I would recommend giving them a go as the durability makes them an excellent choice for players who don’t want to keep buying fresh cans week in and week out. Historically, Penn balls were made in Arizona, but since they were bought out by Head, the factory closed in 2009 and manufacturing was farmed out to China. Many players on the forums say that the US made ones were of better quality but having never used them before the switch I can’t comment. The ball is made in the Dunlop factory in Bataan, but it has a denser and fluffier nature than Dunlop branded balls so plays differently. The Dunlop Fort All Court, for example, are bullet-like when new, the Slazenger Wimbledon is plusher straight from the can.

Pressurised balls are sold in airtight containers to maintain the pressure inside the ball which needs to be 14-16 lbs for a proper bounce. What Wilson has done is to develop a new core, called Engage, which is made of new plastomer material. That makes the core supposedly keep its liveliness four times longer than that in a typical ball. Under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES the PREMIUM tennis balls do not deserve ANY ATTENTION: totally garbage, generating arm issues, bouncing crazy like stones, and ABSOLUTELY NO FEEL AT ALL. The X One is durable, and it doesn’t ever really turn into a dog ball. It seems to fluff up a bit, but never really goes beyond a certain point, so you get a consistent speed through the air.

Top 5 Tennis Balls

The final pitfall to avoid is don’t buy balls from places that only sell a tube of balls once in a blue moon.

All balls used in league matches etc. are pressurised, so it makes sense to practice with them too. Otherwise, you’ll be in for a nasty surprise come match day as they fly through the court far more than pressureless balls. Avoid Buying From Shops That Don’t Sell Balls Often Whenever you open a fresh can of balls, you will have probably noticed the balls are usually numbered either with a 1, 2, 3, or 4. I’ve used the Head Tour Ball several times, and it’s a decent ball. They are relatively firm when fresh from the can so they do fly early on, but durability is excellent.

If you guys do not trust my feeling, just go and waste your money. Moreover, their price is the same as the price which I paid for SLAZENGER which I bought from the UK….

I’ve always found it a solid ball to play with on hard courts. It’s not the best ball I’ve ever played with, but it is more than good enough for club level play and has always played consistently for me. The reason here is that the pressure in the tube does leak over time, so if you buy one that’s been gathering dust for the last 12 months, the balls won’t be as good as a tube fresh from the manufacturer, and they will not bounce as high. Once you consider yourself an advanced player, unsurprisingly, you’ll be wanting to invest in some of the highest quality balls.

Head Radical Tennis Balls for all levels

The Dunlop Fort All Court is probably one of the most widely used balls on the planet, and it’s certainly the ball I’ve used the most over the years. Most tennis clubs in the UK use this ball, so it’s ever-present in league matches and doubles games. In the 1870s, tennis balls were made from India rubber, which was formed from a vulcanisation process invented by Charles Goodyear. The balls were manufactured using the ‘clover-leaf’ principle whereby an uncured rubber sheet was stamped into a shape resembling a three-leaf clover, and this was formed into a spherical shape.Overall it seems that HEAD have done a decent job at upgrading the Radical and we can’t see a reason why any standard of amateur player shouldn’t at least be trying this one out. The iconic Slazenger Wimbledon ball. Along with the Dunlop Fort, it’s one of the most commonly used balls at club level in the UK, and pretty much every player who’s played the game will have used the Slazenger Wimbledon at some point. Formerly the official ATP ball before Dunlop signed a new deal, the Penn Marathon (or Penn Tour) is widely used in the United States. In Europe, the balls are sold under the Head brand, but they are the same ball. The reason they are numbered is to stop them from getting mixed up when you are playing on courts that are side by side.
