4 ball cans in US?

Good morning party people! Not totally sure why 4 ball cans aren’t the go-to for everyone but it has really improved my tennis experience (I have been using the Wilson US Open Extra Duty 4 ball cans, A+)…any recommendations on where to buy a case in the US? Wilson used to sell 18 can case of 4 for the US Open balls. There is a retailer in CA that I found that has Tecnifibre XOne 4 ball cans but shipping adds on $40 for 18 (which is reasonable given they are sending a big box across the country by a truck).

Anyone have any advice? TW Europe seems like another option but similar shipping concern. I haven’t looked THAT hard but wanted to ask the experts.

Also open to sucking it up and bringing cans of 3 like it’s 1923 :)

Ha, GREAT FIND! Didn't see it in my google travails, thank you. Most shops, if they had anything in 4 ball, had a separate shipping calculation for balls which made it not worth. So much appreciated!

PS - Still wild to me that this seems like the only way to get a reasonable deal and only one brand available for 4 ball cans. Is it really not SO much better? Is this a pocket issue and no one wants to hold an extra ball?

3 balls won't get you through a match?

Fair enough: for me, reduces ball retrieval time by 25% per session/match for the rest of your life. I highly recommend it. :cool: Not saying 3 not enough. 4 is a lot better though. In addition to just general time savings, specific moments like every time you have a let with 0 balls in pocket, this is now time saved. And hitting a ball over the fence is no longer "ugh we have 2 only."

Reminds me of the difference between normal vinegar (5% acidity) and "cleaning vinegar" (6% acidity). 20% increase and much more powerful for cleaning! And that's less of a benefit than 4 balls cans.

If you buy 3 ball cans you won’t have shipping. Open two can and you’ll have 6 instead of 4. You be moving into 2123, more balls at about the same cost.
