Best balls for ball machine?

[oceanman9]

Trying to find the best tennis balls that’ll last for my ball machine. I have a Hydrogen Sports Proton machine.

I’ve used a ball machine at a facility and I believe they use pressureless balls. These feel very easy to hit though for some reason. I guess the ball stays longer on the strings so it’s easier to get a lot of spin on it? Not sure how to describe it. I basically never miss with these and get overly confident.

I’d rather hit normal pressurized balls I think to have more realistic training. Any suggestions on which balls to get?

Yes Wilson Triniti 1) gives me that feeling of invicibility as they dont go out easily 2) they can hurt with poly strings

I use Tecnifibre Champion as they seems to last a long time initially....... OPTIONAL READING : After they air out made my own Pressure-Keg to keep pressure up and then maintain pressure in about 60 balls/keg. Have 2 kegs going at a time. Re-filled seconds dont last as good as originals but can be pulled along for months AND still are better than Triniti or presureless balls anyday. Keg $50 delivered (or buy used on facebook marketplace) + $25 worth of parts. Can fill with manual or electric air pump.

Wilson triniti pro

Wilson triniti pro

Still gives that supreme false sense of invincibility as it like to stay in and feel like player is crushing every ball.

I just use all of my old tennis balls, so I don't buy new balls for my ball machine.

How often do you really find yourself using the machine

IMO, I don't feel the Triniti Pro is worth the premium over Triniti. The Pro is softer brand new, but the regular Triniti ain't bad especially after a few sessions. I would rather use that money towardsbuy an extra case of regular Triniti's.

I liked the regular trinitis too. But like the triniti pros more. It’s not just the softness, the woven felt just feels better than stamped felt.

Depending how frequently you re load, it’s not that bad price wise. But if you refresh a lot, ya… starts adding up.

Trinitis are my #2 fav option

setpoint bounce pressureless 60 balls

I like these. They'll be consistent and hit pretty similar to a real ball. Pressurized balls lose pressure pretty quickly and you'll have all sorts of weird balls. I got them when I ordered a Spinfire, which I returned and eventually got a Proton, which I never use (or don't use enough?), but the balls are surprisingly but noticeably high quality.

The problem w trinitis is that they have a hyperactive bounce (faster, higher) than normal pressurized balls. According to TWU, they're the softest ball, Dunlop grand Prix second. I put trinitis in our ball machine for my son, but we have since switched to the grand prix bc they're more realistic. We use a pony keg to keep them pressurized.
