I'm not a tennis ball expert but I've been playing recereational tennis maybe 4 times a week for the past couple of months and have used these balls (alongside pressurized balls) frequently for most of that time. The bounce is surprisingly natural and similar to a pressurized ball that has experienced a moderate amount of use. A new ball out of the can WILL throw you off for a bit though because its bounce will obviously be much peppier. The price is certainly right and we go through a lot less balls this way. Bottom line, I would definitely purchase these again.

I don't need expensive top-quality tennis balls for my level of ability. These do just fine. I'm just an occasional weekend player when it comes to tennis, but I do like to go to the courts and practice hitting. I found a long time ago that not having enough tennis balls to practice with is a real "drag". Too much time is spent chasing down errant balls rather than concentrating on practicing shots. So, I purchased two bags of these tennis balls last year, and they have held up very well. At about $1.15 per ball, these are a good buy. Being pressureless, they behave the same (bounce the same) week after week, month after month. I like to have 20 to practice with, especially when practicing the serve. When the "fuzz" wears off the ball, I discard them.

Pros: Price and the bounce of the balls

Cons: The mesh ball bag is really cheap - It does not have a draw sting at the top like the penn balls do.


In the end these balls are great for practice or a friendly game.

Can't tell you how these compare to premium tennis balls that you actually buy to play the sport. All I can say, is my dog likes them and doesn't tear them up as fast as others. For instance, "Penn" tennis balls lasted all of 3 minutes, these give him hours of enjoyment. And, when he ruins one, there's still an entire mesh bag to reach into for more. For reference, he's a very destructive 3 year old Golden Retriever.

These balls are great. I've already lost two and buying them in bulk has been a lifesaver. Because they are pressureless, I don't worry about my dog biting into them and getting a mouthful of compressed gas. I still have to take them away or he would eat them whole.

No info on how long they will last but being pressureless should mean they last forever (with me monitoring the dog!)

These are good value if you're going to use them for your dog - or as practice balls (if you have a tendency to lose a lot of them), but otherwise buy something better. They don't bounce very well and service distance is appreciably worse with these than name-brand balls. For the cost they're not the worst, I guess, but you get what you pay for on them.

I buy these for my very lively Labradoodle who loves to fetch balls. I've tried several other brands, but this one bounces higher and goes over the deck rails down to the yard, making for a much longer run and more strenuous exercise for Tiffany, and fewer throws for me! And Tiffany can't destroy them quickly, so they typically get lost in the woods rather than chewed apart. Don't know if they make for a good tennis match, but they are great for dogs!

Grabbed a few sets based just on the name and had not realized that these were pressureless. Still good balls, they have survived the summer which is better than normal!

They seem to bounce just fine (though some are bouncier than others) and I'm not enough of a tennis enthusiast to notice any weight difference between these and regulation balls. Perfect for teaching my 6 year old to play tennis!

Don't EVER make the mistake of buying "tennis balls" from a pet store. They are usually made of cardboard inside, and your dog will chew it up and possibly choke on the pieces.

Obviously I don't want to spend a ton of money on tennis balls for my schnauzer, so this pack looked like a good bargain for his Christmas stocking. It was so fun to watch him take each one out Christmas morning, then run from one to the other picking it up and putting it back on the floor. I'm pretty sure he was COUNTING them. ;)
