Wilson US Open Tennis Balls

Product Information

I often find a new tube of Wilson US Open balls can last two matches at a time on a hard court before really starting to play any differently. If you play on carpet or artificial turf, they’d probably last even longer depending on how hard you slap them around. That durability is great to see from a top-tier brand, and even after their match quality is done, I find I can get a good couple of training sessions in with them before I need to retire them completely. The US Tennis Association said "a number of factors" are considered in deciding which balls to use. A hydraulic compression press heats the covered balls to cure the adhesive between the core and felt panels, creating a seam between the two felt panels and leaving a ridge formed by pinched felt.

The USTA will continue to follow the recommendations of the tours and their player councils to determine which balls are utilised during the US Open." What have other players said? Of the balls that we sell at a lower price-point, such as the Championship (or champ) line of balls, you will typically find one of two things that varies from the premium balls. There are more nylon fibers in the felt and/or the construction is done by “needle-punch” instead of the woven application used on the premium balls.

I’m personally not a huge fan. I don’t see why we couldn’t switch to extra duty. I played with them when I’m at home or when I can’t find any balls. They just don’t fly as much. But it’s easier said than done, so hopefully the player council can work on that.” I’m sure it’s going to be different based off how people hit the ball, people’s strokes,” the American said. Rafael Nadal admitted he had no idea about the difference until recently, but suggested the issue was not worth the airtime. Regular Duty tennis balls are developed for softer surfaces – like clay or indoor courts. Increased moisture and dirt can cause these balls to fluff up more than Extra Duty balls, though they use a thinner felt woven more tightly around the core to resist this fluffing.

Especially after three games of really hard playing, they are getting more and more light," she said at the Cincinnati Open last week.

Wilson: The tennis ball goes through three different compression mould phases – the first to mould the half-shell, the second to mould and pressurize the core, and the third to adhere the felt. Selecting the felt is where a lot of the play characteristics come from. There is an incredible amount of technology that goes into the entire production process, from felt to core. Once we have a concept and have gone through the processes of making a tennis ball- we are continually testing – existing and new concepts – we are always trying to learn and improve. The best tennis balls should last you a few sessions of play, although the lifespan of balls will vary. The most durable tennis balls can last around six hours of pure court time if you play solely on hard courts. If you play on clay or grass, that number will be smaller, but if you play indoors that time could increase. In my experience, the tennis balls with the most durability are the Wilson US Open and the Dunlop ATP Championship. What do tennis ball numbers mean?
