Fool. You didn't even list Dunlop, the only decent ball made.

aidenous · 08-13-2007, 05:56 PM

This is a common question. Since Dunlop was not mentioned Others will probably be the most picked.

krz · 08-13-2007, 06:01 PM

dunlop all the way!

guynamedsean · 08-13-2007, 06:05 PM

yeah. go others.

what does the number mean on a ball?

Dangus · 08-13-2007, 06:11 PM

How can you not put Dunlop on there?

Athletic Works (AKA Walmart) balls. They're cheaper than dirt.

They don't bounce very high and they bounce erratically, but I like them b/c I can pretend I'm playing on a grass court.

That's what I call a thread-stopper.

Penn - because they are the only balls not made in an Asian country where dirt-cheap slave labor is taken advantage of.

All other brands of balls are made in such countries.

I've been to the Head-Penn ball factory in Phoenix. Lots of balls.

lethalfang · 08-13-2007, 11:29 PM

Penn from Costco, because they're cheap.

I once told someone that the number was the power rating of the ball and that 4 was the most powerful and now this guy won't play with anything but 4's lol

Wits-Z · 08-14-2007, 06:17 AM

Haha.. That's great.. So did you talk him into giving you all the other numbers from the case? People at the sports outlet must get a kick out of the guy rooting through all the cans looking for 4s..

I can see him now shaking the cans trying to see the number. I also had him going by taking a can of 1's and a marker and changing it to a 7. He caught on to me though but I had him going for a few minutes wanting to know where I got them. Some people are so gullable....... I love it.
