Hey everyone,
Sometimes I feel like some balls lose pressure way too fast.
Any recommendations for balls that last longer? Thanks
Hello Roy,
Yeah, you’re definitely not imagining it. Some balls really die after one solid match, especially if you hit with a lot of spin or pace.
From my experience, cheaper balls go flat really fast. Premium ones hold up a bit better, but none of them last that long on hard courts.
I notice differences, but for practice I think consistency matters more than choosing the “perfect” ball brand.
If you keep switching between brands, old cans, and newer balls, timing can feel off even when your stroke is basically the same. For training, I’d rather use one ball type for a block of sessions and keep the storage routine consistent. That makes it easier to tell whether the player changed or the ball input changed.
