Help me to choose the best Balls deal.

[diegoelmestre]

Hi guys, i have the possibility of buying balls with very good price. Yeh, i know that each one has his own pros and cons, but i would like to know your opinion in overrall, and taking in consideration the ratio quality/price.

The option i have are:

- Dunlop All Court (36 tubes of 4) at 115,20€ (3,20€/tube)

- Head ATP Gold (36 tubes of 4) at 155,99€ (4,33€/tube)

- Wilson US Open (36 tubes of 4) at 155,99€ (4,33€/tube)

- Slazenger The Wimbledon Ball (36 tubes of 4) at 177,35$ (4,93$/tube)

I usually buy the Wilson balls, and i like them a lot. But i'm open to advices of you, the experts. I used Head ATP Gold and also liked them. DUnlop and Slazenger never used.

The surface i usually play is this (i really dont say what's name)

what's your thoughts about this?


ANother question, more rarely i play at clay courts. What balls you most like? Thinking buy 3 or 4 tubes.

"BEST" depends on what YOUR definition of the needs of ball purchase can be.
Do you like heavy balls that last?
Do you like light balls that can be hit hard?
Do you like fluffy balls with lots of knapp?
Do you like faster tighter knapp?
What is your budget and how much do you have to stick to it?

well, i prefer ball that last long, this is my main condition when considering the new balls. Usually, my opponents and i dont have big groundstrokes, but we play big rallies.

i have budget for any of four balls i mentioned. Those balls are at an incredible price, almost 50% off. So i'll try to take the best deal.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Slazenger The Wimbledon Ball... from my experience, they died REALLY fast. They didn't last a set/~30mins of rallying.

wow didn't know bals in Europe cost so much money. here in the US, I get them from walmart or Costco. a case of 16 cans is around $34 usd now.

but Dunlop makes great durable balls.. atp gold and wilson us open are premium balls but I rather use new cans instead given the price point.

probably i'll try DUnlop balls. heard very time about his durability, and are with an excelent price (for European standards).

 

[ArliHawk]

Out of those, I would pick the Head ATP if they are the same as the Penn ATP, which I assume they are.

probably i'll try DUnlop balbouncelsmore than other similar. heard I veery time about his durability, and are with an excelent price (for European standards).

yeah from the price point, dunlop's ball maintain their bounce more than similar cost balls.

since so durable, had some dunlop balls with really worn out felt.

Dunlops got the nickname "DunRocks" because they are the hardest feeling ball out there.

+1. They are the only balls to ever hurt my arm.

 

[LeeD]

I use DunlopHDHardCourtChamps because they CAN hurt my opponent's arm.
The two little girls on our court also like them the best.
VERY few soft hitters or 3.5's like them.

 

[diegoelmestre]

i asked for Dunlop balls to my coach and he also said that Dunlop balls are really hard. i played once or twice with really hard ball (think it was K-Open or Technifibre, not sure) and i dont like very much.

i played many years with Wilson US Open, better choice probbly will be stick to them

Curious about what is best case of balls to order based on the following:

-performance (quality control (each ball being the same) and durability being last)

-I don't like super heavy or thick feeling balls. I want arm friendly balls.

I play on hard and rubico so need a suggestion for both.

The best overall ball is the prince tour, available in extra duty for hard court and regular for clay (rubico?!). There are a few threads that discuss it in detail including one I started.

For quality, the Prince tour regular duty cannot be beat. Sometimes the extra duty version has a chunk of the ball fall off inside the ball and you can hear it rattle but the ball itself is great.
