Finding Your Balls – Choosing The Right Tennis Ball For You

To the novice, all tennis balls may look alike (except for their color), but those who’ve been playing the game awhile know that that is simply not so Tennis balls are much more than fuzzy rubber things. There are two main types of tennis balls: pressurized and pressureless.

Pressurized tennis balls are hollow in the center and are filled with air. Pressurized balls are short lived, only lasting about a month once taken form their sealed can since the pressure of the can is released once the seal is broken. A dead ball is one which has lost its bounce.

Pressureless balls have a solid core. These tennis balls are great for anyone who does not play tennis that often. They are also great practice balls. Their main drawback is that the felt usually wears off in time, causing them to be replaced.

Regular duty tennis balls are made for indoor and clay courts. Extra duty tennis balls are used on grass courts and tennis courts. You should avoid using these on clay courts since they become too fuzzy.

High altitude tennis balls are used in places like Denver where you are playing 4,000 feet or more above sea level. These balls feature different pressure since regular balls would bounce too much at this elevation.

Why are tennis balls fuzzy? The fuzz creates friction. This creates dray in the air, making topspin and backspin more pronounced and more possible.

Bet you didn’t know there was so much to a tennis ball. So, the next time you go shopping for balls, you’ll have a better idea which one is best for you.
