I have a similar product called "Tennis Ball Saver" which works well. I needed another one and I chose the "Restore" because it is translucent and so you can see the balls. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well as the other model. It is very hard to turn, even after applying a little dab of vaseline, and it just doesn't seem to help the balls stay fresh. I put in a set of new balls that had only been used for a couple of sets thinking it would keep them fresh. After a couple of days they seemed to have lost a little bounce. In my other model they seem fresh after the same period of time.

This pressurizer is just like my yellow TennisBallSaver, except that it will not hold up to the Texas heat in my trunk. There is one fellow above that states that "it is out of round". That is because it warped in the heat. Use this pressurizer only during the cooler months or in cooler climates. 90 degrees F (32C) in direct sunlight (in the trunk) is about the limit.

I've only owned one such ball pressurizer that was functional. All others I've purchased, including this one, were out of round. That means that the cylinder is not close enough to being a perfect circle so that the O ring always remains in contact with the wall. The result - when you you get to the part that is out of round, the O ring loses contact and all the pressure is released, rendering the product useless.

I'm sure the SOME of them are manufactured within a reasonable tolerance so that they work, but so many come out duds - like the one I got and had to return. I love these when they work.

I bought 2 of this and i love them! They save my balls very good! Now I dont have to buy balls every month!! I read last comment, but mines work perfectly!! I suggest you to but it!
