It depends on their level. Many kids at 10/11 will be using normal tournament balls if they are strong enough and are hitting on a full size court. Especially if they are at tournament level and are playing often. While you might think that buying cheaper tennis balls is a good thing compared to investing in the more expensive versions, it is worth noting that some of the better balls include improved design featuresthat make them durable as well. The final pitfall to avoid is don’t buy balls from places that only sell a tube of balls once in a blue moon. Below are what I consider the best tennis balls you can play with right now. With over 150 ITF approved balls, this is by no means an exhaustive list, but they are all balls I’ve tried several times and can recommend.

I have watched Djokovic play live for many years. I have seen his anger on the court over and over. Now he pays the price. Clay courts aren’t as common in the UK as they are in Europe, but there are plenty around. Clay courts tend to play slower and lower than other courts, favouring those who can play defence, as their surface naturally absorbs a greater amount of impact.For some reason the Fort All Court divides opinion, some players love it, others look away in disgust when you take a fresh can from your bag and instead insist on using their own Slazenger Wimbledon balls. Even though they’re both made in the same factory in the Philippines 😁 Once you consider yourself an advanced player, unsurprisingly, you’ll be wanting to invest in some of the highest quality balls. These will be made of the best quality materials, meaning they can cope with the hard-hitting players of this level, as well as maintaining a consistent pace and bounce. Ye I have, I like those balls. Kinda similar to the Triniti. Some of their pressurised balls are used for tournaments in Germany I think.

You’ll find Head championship tennis balls, Head radical tennis balls, and Head pro tennis balls to browse through, all of which come with features dedicated to specific skill levels and plays. We provide additional tennis elbow supports to give you the support you need on the court. Nylon is very resistant to abrasion and to mechanical stress but the surface friction is low. Cotton maybe provides more grip but the tenacity is lower. Wool is the same but unless it’s top tier lambswool it tends to form pills. The limitation of natural fibres is that one doesn’t get to choose their properties. Synthetics can be made in whatever shape, diameter, tenacity, stretchability, friction, etc, etc. Plus they can be producer-dyed (my main business and R&D work, hey!) so no need of endless and high water consumption processes. Yeah RBA, almost plays with continental grip style shots. His game has grown on me to actually watch, not exactly creative but bit of a different style and very hard to beat. Was close to being a pro footballer I think. He was pissed when they closed the roof, kept losing rhythm which he likes. Anyway, they tried it and it seems the balls’ performance was nice. Now we regularly supply them around 50 tons a year, so that’s a lot of balls.

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. Sadly it’s not one that will be available for those of you in the United States or outside of Europe but for those of you are; I’d recommend giving it a go. I have seen part of Andy Murray match, but Andy is a big self-talker, so the only thing he hears when playing must be own voice 😉

I find the Wilson balls(extra duty) last the best for me and come with a consistent bounce. they get a bit too heavy if the courts damp would the only downside. I play mainly on artificial grass. Below you’ll see the full list of ITF approved balls for 2020. Type 1 balls are classified as ‘fast’ balls. Type 2 balls are classified as ‘medium’ balls. Finally, high altitude balls, as you would have guessed, are for use on courts at high altitude. Right now I’m trying to understand, how it goes on hobby courts, where there is no public at all. But – players are speaking to each other from time to time, courts are close to street or park, so there is always some noise.. Kids between 5 and 8 years get a perfect start with the pressureless HEAD T.I.P. RED, 75% slower than a standard tennis ball for easy fun.An old wives’ tale is that balls numbered four are better as they are pressurised more. This is false. Look out for references to reinforced rubber coating, waterproofing and “heavy-duty” as indications that your chosen tennis ball will last that bit longer.

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. Kids between 9 and 10 years and starter adults get full support with the pressureless HEAD T.I.P. GREEN, 25% slower than a standard tennis ball for great control. Also, the one hoisting the cup will be the youngest male GS champion so far and the first male GS champion to be born in the 1990s. actually not much grass court tennis in New Zealand but a lot of astro (artificial grass with a sand base) because it can handle the rain better than hard court and is easier on the joints of the old fellas. Featuring a variety of innovations, from the Auxetic Sensation to feel every shot you take to enlarged power grommets to increase your string movement to the max and boost your power at every shot you make. Explore the aerodynamic cross-section and transform your swing along with the control you need to play to precision.

Head Radical Tennis Balls for all levels

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. Blame Roger, Rafael and Novak for that! And Stan. Ok, let Andy jump in too… until the next bus stop. The ITF has well over 150 approved balls for use, and in this guide, I’ll give you a bit of insight into what I consider some of the best tennis balls out there, why I like them, and how they differ in performance from one and other. Pressureless balls will have a cheaper price tag, but due to their more solid core, they will be much heavier than their pressurised counterparts. 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.
