Hi
I always play on hard court,i usually use wilson US Open balls but now at costco there was a good deal on Penn balls so i bought 12 boxes.
I was just curious to know when balls do some of you prefer and why? thanks

its always more expensive in Canada:evil:At costco here.
If you buy at a non tennis place, expect inconsistency. They will leave them out in the non A/C warehouse until they are ready to sell. I've had too many dead cans of balls now to buy from the El Cheapo places anymore.
Wilson's allow my serve to bounce 4' high at the backboard.
Penns close to that, but not quite.
DunlopHDHardCourts, my fave, the bounce only goes 3' at best.
The last case of Penn balls i bought were ok at frist. A few months later, the remaining ones were flat, and i never opened the can until the day i used it.
flat out of the can.
I buy these:
- Slazenger Wimbledon (UltraViz)
- Wilson US Open
The Slazengers feel a little heavier than the Wilsons. I play the same with either. Use old ones for serve practice and drop feeding when working on technique.
ok, since i never started a post, so i am partially hijacking this one(since my question is basically the same).. Which ball in your opinion goes FASTEST through the air. I am looking to service winner pushers and not let them in the point, or take the first short ball and blast a forehand approach and take the net.
My experiences so far are either wilson or penn "titanium" balls, as they have synthetic felt on them and go fast through the air (walmart used to have wilson titaniums for like $1.60 a can a couple years back), so used them all the time. Also, red can(label) regular felt balls by penn and wilson are simply lighter and thus go faster. Oh, and, i did already read LeeD post about ones that went higher for him, wilsons, which is a good start. Thanks.
