Wilson AO balls are quite popular here.
They run about $8US for a can of 4. |

Back to the Penn ATP for me. Just ordered a case from here, can't justify the price difference between them and Wilson US Opens.

The exchange rate is roughly dollar for dollar and Wilson US opens are about $7 for a can of 3, Wilson AO's are about $8 and most other balls range between about $7 and $10 per can |

Dunlop Championships hands down. I feel they're alittle too live sometimes but after 10 mins they settle in. Slaz. are a beautiful ball to hit with. I wish they made a hardcourt version with more felt but they are fantastic. Penn's are god awful But I hear the atp is nice which I'd like to try. Im not exactly fond of wilson championships (non us) they seem to lack liveliness.

PENN hit a 60% market share this year in the US--just killing the competition. Numbers don't lie--more people play with PENNs than anything else by a long shot.

Penns, and especially Wilsons, are fantasy balls.
They bounce stomach high on my first serves. They bounce higher on my second serves....at the backboard. Dunlops barely get to thigh high on firsts, and sometimes don't make the backboard after it's initial bounce in the service court. That is a reality ball. I can almost sustain a rally with Dunlops. Wilson and Penns, it's one ball winner or loser. I play on cement courts painted, air temps around 55-60. |

Gotta ask... does PENN manufacture more balls than other companies? If so, that could explain "60% market share". I've been playing tennis a long time and PENNS are not my favorite. But... to each his own. |
