Which Dunlop ball brand is the best?

[quest01]

I see that TW sells cases in three Dunlop brands. I'd like to know which one is the best overall and why? The Dunlop GrandPrix XD Tennis Balls 24 Can Case, Dunlop Champ XD Tennis Balls 24 Can Case, or the Dunlop Abzorber Tennis Balls 24 Can Case.

Also how do these Dunlop balls compare to the Penn ATP Extra Duty Tennis Balls 24 Can Case, and the Wilson US Open XDuty Tennis Balls 24 Can Case?

Personally I like the GrandPrix, though I never buy boxes.. I like them because they bounce.. "well"? I don't know, its hard to describe. It just feels "right". You know what the ball will do when you hit it, they're soft too so its nice on the arm. As for comparing it to others, I've liked the GrandPrix far more than any other ball I've used..

Why do you like the Dunlop Grandprix far more then Penn, Wilson, and Prince balls? Do they last longer, are they more durable?

Yes, the dunlop GP ball lasts longer, and more consistant. But it is a 'heavy' and 'harder'ball than wilson, penn. The GP ball IMO better bounce, feel than the other dunlops.

GP's all the way, not only dunlpo's best, one of the best going around.

The grand prix out lasts any other ball ,penn+wilson suck.When my opponents supply the balls+they bring penn or wilson,i can always tell they feel heavier+harder.Which i think means harder on the arm,+by the end of a couple sets they dont bounce well at all.Dunlop grand prix is a far superior ball.

You know, I heard good things about the Wimbledon balls that Slaz (part of Dunlop) sells... ::giggle-wink::

grandprix feel better than the heavy duty

IMO they all feel pretty similar. I just tried the Champs for the first time and couldn't distinguish it from the Forts.

Just tried Dunlop Forts for the first time I can remember. Wow they suck! I would say they are worse than Wilson balls! No wonder Walmart sells them.

Dunlop Grand Prixs are the best.

For me, Grand Prix. I can feel them better on the stringbed than anything from Penn or Wilson. Also, the felt seems more bite friendly than those others.

any national chains carry Gp?

I'd say Grand Prixs also, my school uses them and they seem like they last quiet a long time. I prefer them over any Penn or Wilson ball out there.
