Bought some WilsonHDHardcourts the other day. First stray from Dunlop or Penns in over 10 years. I wanted to see how fast my serves would go, and how high they'd bounce.
Well, 2 of the 3 were very Penn like. Not bad. ONE of the 3 is pure Wilson, the knapp compressed flat, the ball getting light and hard, and used by almost everyone for first serves...everyone who noticed.
I'd say the ONE bounced at least a foot higher than the other 2, on both first and second serves.
Great quality control.

at least you HAVE indoor courts. lucky Brit
in the meantime, can you just post a link to which exact Penn balls you bought?

[finalfantasy7]

Rozroz which country you live in?.... here indoor courts are expensive for me £15 a hour.
I hope thr not fake - bought them of ?bay, when i opened them the wrapper on all 3 came off. Ive got a question why on all 3 tubes the number written on the balls are all different?:

thanks for those pics, man.
well best thing is to test them first.

Head ATP - on clay - all characteristics degrade over time evenly

[Rozroz]

they way i understand:
mostly 2 types of balls.
the punchy, hard crisp type
or the soft 'easy on the arm' ones.
the softer Penns are too soft for my taste.
best for me is find a good mix.

i think those Penn of yours bounce really low.

Using Wilson US Open HD right now, but will probably go to Babolat when I'm done with this case.

the head pro penns are awesome

also the white us open extra duty

I am sticking with Penn Pro Marathon balls. They are crisp feeling and last more than a set of hitting which is more then 99% of the other balls I've used so I definitely cannot complain!

Just used the penns (above pic) indoors and i really liked them, thr heavy (compared to slazengers) and have very good penetration. They bounce good. how on earth are you lot saying these dont bounce??

I was also using new slazenger tournemants and comparing them, the slazengers for some reason felt dead (brand new balls), even my partner was saying the exact same -he enjoyed the penns.
We were playing in a Dome which leaked water in and some of the penns got soaked but didnt lose thr bounce,fluff.

Anyone used head atp/tretorn micro x's??

Can't speak to the QC on the can wrappers; but the balls within each tube are the same number and the numbers are usually 1-4. If these were originally in a four-pack, the numbers make perfect sense...otherwise, coincidence.
Does ANYbody number 1-8 like the old days?

Dunlop grand prix the best ball out there.

Wilson US Open Extra Duty made in Thailand NOT China. I work as a volunteer at the Winston-Salem Open, they will not use the same ball made in China.
