It looks like there's a global shortage of the Wilson Triniti pressureless balls (pandemic?), what is the next best option?

Tretorn makes pressure-less balls--hard as rocks but should last forever. With the "supply chain problems" Tretorns may be the ball of the future--no more giving used balls to the dogs.

It turns out you can still buy them through Wilson's website, only in tubes of 3 rather than the boxes. A bit more expensive but I might still go for it.
@tennis tom - I was looking at the Tretorn Micro X as a possibility, too - they receive fantastic reviews.

Do they feel hard when hitting on the machine with these?
the diadem pressureless were like bricks after a while

Just a note— make sure you don’t give Tretorns to the dog. They are filled with white powder which can make quite a mess and is probably not good for the dog when she chews through it. Trinitis and pressurized balls are ok.

Good to know, thanks.
If you can find, buy online perhaps the Artengo TB160. They are cheap and inside they look just like Wilson Trinity, they have empty core and they come, as pressureless. They are not that hard and feel in play like Head pressurized balls, which are heavier - 59g. In time, TB160 get softer and the bounce decreases (I fix this by removing part of their felt 
- this makes them bounce up to 100% or even higher). In this mode, softer TB160 are ideal for play, as the bounce is high, but the feel is soft, like in kids balls, the only drawback is the partially removed felt, which of course many experienced players will find not acceptable, but for recreational players or players with hand health problems, they are ideal for play. Considering the price, constant bounce and feel, TB160 maybe are the best balls in tennis, at least for recreational players.

I find Triniti tooooo bouncy on hardcourts.
Might work better on artificial grass I mostly play on these days.
Much prefer Babolat Academy Golds (I've no connection with Babolat).

To me, at least on the hard courts I play at, they are about as bouncy as a set of pressured balls when they are fresh out of a can. Of course we aren't pros so we aren't playing with new balls all the time so maybe it's not indicative of the bounce after a number of games, but I don't think it's a huge difference. Have heard good things about the Diadem balls as well, may give them a try when the Triniti balls wear out, although at this rate it might be 5 years before that happens..
