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.

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. Last edited by texacali : 08-10-2012 at 07:07 AM. Reason: Typo |

Dunlop Fort Allcourt at the moment. 3 tins of 4 balls for £10.
They seem pretty good.

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.

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.

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. |
