I had purchased a case of regular Penn balls at Costco last year, but even fresh cans had balls that didn't have the greatest bounce. Even the best balls were only good for one 90 minute session of tennis, and they were obviously flatter than when we started.
I bought these ATP balls in hopes that they would have more bounce and last longer. Boy was I not disappointed! From the start, they had excellent bounce and they "popped" off the racquets. After we finished our ~90 minute session, I put them in a Tennis Ball Saver to conserve them for a couple of days. On our next session, I pulled them out again, and they were just as bouncy as from the original can. We played another 90 minute session. Over the next couple weeks, we kept pulling these out, and they kept their bounce. I lost count, but I think they lasted 9 or 10 sessions before we noticed them degrading...by then the felt was discolored and not pretty, but they still had decent bounce.
Even after I put them into my practice ballport, there's a huge difference between these ATP balls and the old Penns I used to use. I keep the ATPs in my pocket for practice rallies and just use the original Penns to practice serves.
