What's in tennis? You would think they are all the same-round, yellow, and covered with felt-but in fact it has never been more diverse than this, and depending on the surface you play with, the difference can be huge.
From weight, bounce and felt thickness to durability and pressure, the complexity of tennis all add up. Surprisingly, a good ball feels much better than a cheap ball. So, give your fluffy old tennis ball to the dog and upgrade yourself.
Although the U.S. Open is played on a fast acrylic hard court, the Wilson U.S. Open ball is widely regarded as the industry standard for players of all abilities on all fields. The rebound rate is very high, and their shelf life is very long, and there is almost no running-in time. Although their cost may be slightly higher than other all-round balls, this ball has the best playability.

Not surprisingly, the ball designed for the Wimbledon Tennis Championship performed well on real and artificial grass. It is the heaviest, which makes it an ideal choice for artificial grass because the weight slows down the ball on fast surfaces. Slazenger claims that the Hydroguard structure makes the ball 70% more water-resistant than other balls on the market-useful because the astronomical court tends to feel damp.

Babolat may no longer produce official French Open balls, but its Team Clay Court Ball is still the best choice for playing on real or artificial clay. Although these balls fade relatively quickly, don't worry, they are very durable and very suitable for surface use. The bounce is predictable and the ball is played at a reasonable speed without feeling too slow or too heavy.

These balls are seriously underestimated. Compared to competitors, they feel fast and uncontrolled, durable, and feel less prone to fluffing. These are specifically designed for ATP tournaments and most games are played on hard courts, making them ideal for acrylic or pitch venues.

Wilson Trinitis is certainly not cheap, and the combination of some soft feel, lighter structure and low bounce is not everyone's favorite. However, if you are looking for a ball that can provide you with as much decent game time as possible, then Triniti is your best choice. The thicker rubber core means that the balls can remain pressurized longer, so you can throw them in a safe bag because they won't die the next time you play with the ball.

Warning: If you plan to use pressureless balls for any purpose other than training, please do not buy them. The non-pressure ball is specially designed for ball machine and basket training, so it is durable and able to hit the ball. Babolat took inspiration from its ultra-durable clay court ball and developed an almost indestructible training ball in the Gold Academy Trainer.
