What balls are you guys using?
Is HEAD ATP more common, or Wilson 1? or DUNLOP? or Babolat?
Which is the best? Just your opinions. |

The Wilson US Opens and the Babolat All Court are my favorites to use. |
I am on my last case and a half of USA-made Pro Penn's. I doubt I will be paying a premium for Chinese-made Pro Penn going forward.
|
The green, round, fuzzy kind. Kidding. Like Dunlop most but also use whatever is on sale.
Anyone remember the 1970's WCT gold tennis ball? Not even sure who made them. I used to love those b/c there is no way you could get them mixed up with all the green ones on the other courts. |
Dunlop Fort Allcourt at the moment. 3 tins of 4 balls for £10.
They seem pretty good. |
Penn Extra Duty, always consistent
|
US Open regular duty are pretty nice on clay. I'm not as big a fan of their extra duty balls but they are OK too.
|
Penn coach. 1.75 a tube. and lasts just as long as. hardly any fuzz to them so they fly through the air. play on a fast surface and they just skid lol
|
Everyone around here chooses DunlopHDHardCourtXFelts if they have a choice.
Lasts 4 sets. The heaviest, knappiest, slowest moving, ball around, but you can hit full out and actually maintain a rally. Wilsons are good for one hit rallys, and last 7 games. Penns last double that, and you can hit two shots per rally. Dunlops, most rallys can last 5 shots, everyone going for winners (and playing well). |
Wilson US Open.
Because these are used at all the local tournaments here where I live, so it makes sense to practice with the same. |
My favorite ball by far is the Wilson US Open!!!
|
US Open extra duty here as well. Also got some Head that were 3x4 ball tins for like £8.
|
What's the difference between HEAD ATP & Wilson US OPEN? I think HEAD ATP bounces higher, and sounds better. Or, it's just my feeling?
|
I use Penn ATP. They retain their bounce a little longer than the US Open's
|
Penn ATP Regular on Har tru, and the Heavy Duty when I play on the duracourt 2. They don't get real fuzzy or fluffed up, and they are not as hard as the Wilson US open balls.
|
Wilson US Open. Only thing available locally at a reasonable price. Babolat Gold can be bought off an outlet store about 50 miles away for the same price..
|
I buy balls by the case for my basket cause I coach for a living. Babolat Gold balls didn't last for crap, the Babolat Team balls were very good however. Yonex Tour balls lasted a fair bit as well.
The best playability so far has been the HEAD ATP balls, but will see how long they last me as I've only had them a short while so I'd have to report back at a later date. |
My own.
;) Dunlop or Wilson, if I have a choice. It doesn't matter much to me though. The best real answer I have is...fresh ones. |
Wilson US Open for playing.
Tretorn Micro X (yellow/white so people do not steal them) for drilling or getting drilled - they are pressureless and last forever. |
