What happened to Dunlop balls?

[zebano]

Those were the best, they were light, had a great bounce and long lasting durability on hard courts. Penn feels like a rock and Wilson get fuzzy and lose their bounce quickly. A few stores now have Slezenger, are they any good?

Hmm it looks like they're still available online, but none of the sporting goods or big-box-marts near me carry them.

i have a pack of 6 pack of dunlops unopened tho one can is dead and i dont even know when ill use them since i keep finding brand new balls whenever i go to my local courts

Depends on the batch, and where you buy them. Since we're not allowed to open up the cans prepurchase lol, I just squeeze the container and try to get the cans that aren't soft/soggy.

Dunlop balls are sold at the Kmart here.

are the dunlop grand prixs the best dunlop balls?

The Dunlop GP balls fluff up a bit quicker (a negative IMO) and they bounce lighter.

i like them for practice cuz they last long but prefer champs for matchplay cuz theyre alittle softer

dunlop balls never lose pressure

Why is that? Is it because Dunlop balls are heavier and stiffer? Extra pace is usually a good thing.

Dunlops are awesome... I remember I use to get the ones w/ johny mac's face pastered over the can. I still find them @ my local sports retailer store. But I usually goto costco for my case of balls now. Hard to find $2 a can...

Well, I don't really see Dunlop as a ball that you play real games in. Fast pace is good but my timing will be off with a diff. type of ball

ya know?
