Wilson US Open Extra Duty Tennis Balls

Product Information

The balls are made from high-quality rubber made by Bridgestone and covered with 72% natural felt from Milliken whose felts are used on several other high-quality balls. Players preferring slower, more durable balls could try using an Extra Duty ball on a soft court surface, with the trade-off being increased fluff.

Wilson US Open Tennis Ball - 24 Pack by Wilson, Green, 20*21

Formerly the official ATP ball before Dunlop signed a new deal, the Penn Marathon (or Penn Tour) is widely used in the United States. Volleying with this ball was a joy and I can see it becoming a popular choice for doubles matches in the club leagues. Many players on the forums say that the US made ones were of better quality but having never used them before the switch I can’t comment. That might suit some players who want slow-paced points and long rallies, but I like a ball that is flying through the air more.The weight is excellent, so is the amount of fuzz on the ball, and this ball sails through the air faster than a Penn or Penn Pro.

You will also see that there are only really three places in the world that make tennis balls – China, the Philippines, and Thailand. Wilson Double Core tennis balls boast pure durability, lasting you twice as long as conventional tennis balls. Extra duty balls are designed for hard surfaces such as asphalt, concrete and other outdoor hard courts. Finally, the weather remained dry during this playtest, so I didn’t have the chance to see whether the ball held up during adverse weather conditions.In general, tennis balls are made with a rubber core and covered in felt, which can be made of wool or synthetic materials. The new plastomer-core weighs less than a normal core and to make the overall weight the same, Wilson has made the new core thicker. Otherwise, you’ll be in for a nasty surprise come match day as they fly through the court far more than pressureless balls. Tried and true, our Championship Tennis Ball has been a favorite for casual and recreational players for years.
