What are the best tennis balls - Opinion, advantages and disadvantages [2021]

Since I started playing tennis in 1989 until now, when I am still active in competition, I have tried countless tennis balls and not all of them have given me good results.

It is not easy to find the best ones, sometimes I have had to spend more to realize which balls are worthwhile.

In this post, I am going to recommend some of the ones that I have found to be of higher quality, and that I use today in my trainings, both in my personal training and in classes with my students.

I have divided the article according to priorities, you know that depending on the type of tennis court you play on, the speed and behavior of each ball will vary a lot.

Browse this index to find what you are looking for.

Tennis balls with high durability

The following balls have a considerable thickness of felt, which makes them more resistant over time.

That is, if what you are looking for are good tennis balls and that they hold you during a lot of workouts, I recommend that you use the following:

Dunlop Tour Brilliance

One that I like a lot, and whose value for money far exceeds the others, is the "Dunlop Tour Brilliance", it is a ball with a lot of hair, like the "Dunlop Fort All Court".

Only with your touch do you know that there is quality in these balls, and their price is always usually a little lower.

Another point in favor, if you are one of those who use the same boat several times. These balls hold pressure very well, they do not get as soft as others, and since the felt is quite thick, it preserves the hair very well.

My score is 4/5, for being of the best value for money, and it also gives very good results both in training sessions and in tournaments on any of the surfaces, on hard or soft co

Dunlop Fort All Court

As I mentioned before, there is also its older sister, the "Dunlop Fort All Court", it is similar although it gives a little more quality, so it also costs a little more.

If you have never tried them, you should, it is the official ball of the ATP Madrid tournament « Mutua Madrid Open «.

Since I have played tennis they have been a classic, few balls come in a metal can, only very high-end ones, and this ball has always been Dunlop's high-end.

If you have a very high level it will last you a long game, but if you have an intermediate level you have a ball for several games, it takes a long time to get soft and as it has a very thick felt, it will always have hair.

I give it a 4.5 / 5, a ball that never misses, on any surface, although it is used especially for clay courts.

Head ATP

Another classic is the "Head ATP", because Head has been the official supplier of the ATP circuit for many years, and with this ball the "ATP finals" have been played several times, the tournament that only players who finish the year can access. top 10.

I give it a 4.5 / 5 as well, because the felt is very good and the touch when hitting it with the racket is also good, but if you are one of those who use the balls several games, then they will not serve you, they lose pressure very few days compared to other brands.

Faster tennis balls

You have to bear in mind that this type of ball has a lower durability compared to the previous ones that I have proposed.

What do I mean when I label them as fast tennis balls?

Tennis balls considered fast have a very live bounce and usually have a little more pressure inside. In addition, the felt is usually thinner or less thick.

If you are someone who likes to keep the ball in play, that is, you like to play long rallies, I recommend using them on slow courts like clay.

If, on the other hand, you are an aggressive player who likes short points more, it will be better to use them on hard courts.

Tecnifibre Champion One

I have also tried the "Tecnifibre Champion One" in some tournaments, very similar to the Head Championship and more or less as durable.

Felt is very similar, although it is a softer ball, it is not as hard at first.

Sometimes it is appreciated, because when it is very hard, at the beginning it bounces a lot and gets more on you, apart from the fact that the boat is more alive and you have to be more concentrated.

I also give it a 3.5 / 5. I would dare to suggest that maybe, they even come out of the same factory, they are very, very similar.

Penn Championship

A curious fact is that this ball is seen a lot on the courts in the United States, but not in Europe, and that "Penn" is owned or associated in some way with "Head", because the "Head" logo appears on the "Penn Championship" jackpots.

There the "Penn Championship" ball is sold and here in Europe the "Head Championship", when if you look at the 2 balls they look identical.

Therefore I give the 2 balls the same score, a 3.5 / 5, and I encourage you to try the 2 so you can see for yourself.
