Tennis ball 2025

I love Dunlop Fort Clay but they are expensive shipped from England to Canada about CAN6 each
Recently Slazengers made a come back in Canada at that price and just a tad too heavy.

Where are you buying Slazengers in Canada? And 6$ CAD per can seems like a decent price compared to what I see around.

6$ CAD per

it's per ball, not per can. Forts are not cheap.

Good lord

I’m getting too poor for this sport

The shipping process do not ruin the balls?

You used surface, not air, right?

Air from England to Canada.

Slazengers are CAN160 for a case of 72 so about CAN2.2 per ball from TennisZone.

All competitive play in my country is moving from the US Open to the X-One this year. On clay.
I can't feel any difference between the two.
Nice, bouncy ball out of the can. Dead in an hour. Unplayable in three hours.

Wilson US Open is consistent every time
The longest lasting is the one in the hexagonal box

What is this?

What is this?

My guess is Trinitis

The thing is I can use 8 Dunlop Fort clay balls for two weeks of singles and lessons, at least 10h and they are still better than Penn or Wilson.

I don’t play enough to warrant buying expensive balls, they’d deflate before I’d benefit from them being tougher.

I should probably just get Trinitis, but I don’t love the feel. How does the felt hold up? I’ve used them to hit against a wall, so I didn’t care or pay much attention to them.

Wow is this what other people are getting out of X-One balls? I was just about to buy an 18 can case because a lot of people said that the balls were great for a 3 hour match and good for practice balls for another 10 hours.

We play on clay here.
Perhaps they're different on hard.
I doubt it, though.

If you use 3 balls, but have long pauses between games, those screw type pressure canisters work pretty good for a single can.
