It's not as much of a contact sport as football or hockey, but tennis balls hurled at 100 MPH are enough contact for most people.
There are many different kinds of tennis balls that vary on the elbow ease, durability, and level. While there are many different types of tennis balls, there are three brands that are the most popular: Dunlop, Wilson, and Penn.
Dunlop is the first brand to design a ball that reduces the risk of tennis elbow, which is muscle deterioration that can form while playing tennis. The Dunlop Abzorber tennis balls claim to reduce deteriorated elbow muscle by 15%. The price for a case of Dunlop Abzlorber balls (72 in a case) is between $50-$60.
Other Dunlop tennis balls that are popular include the Dunlop Professional, also known as the Dunlop grand prix, and the Dunlop Championship. The Dunlop grand prix provides a long lasting durability, great bounce, and a richer color that allows a player to spot the ball quicker. A case costs between $50-$60. The Dunlop Championship provides a tougher cloth, which allows longer play time. A case costs between $30-$40.
Wilson produces professional, championship, and recreational tennis balls. Included in the Wilson professional category are the Wilson U.S. Open, the Wilson Pro-Staff, and the Wilson double core. The former is the official tennis ball for the U.S. Open, while the latter is the official tennis ball for the Davis cup. The Wilson Pro-staff is a durable ball that can be used for clay and indoor courts. These Wilson tennis balls cost between $40-$55 a case.
Included in the championship category are the Wilson Championship and the Wilson Hope tennis balls. The Championship ball is known for its durability on hard court surfaces, while the Hope ball was designed with a lush, pink color. All the proceeds of the Hope ball are directed to Breast Cancer research. Both models can be purchased by the case for $40-$60. Wilson also sells recreational tennis balls, which can be used outside on the asphalt and come in many different colors These can be purchased in chain stores like Target and Wal-mart.
Penn tennis balls also fall under three categories: professional, championship, and recreational. Included in the professional series are the Penn ATP and the Pro Penn. The Penn ATP is known for its higher visibility in any kind of conditions and is the official ball for the ATP. The Pro Penn is usually used by tennis professionals and teachers and is known for its durability.
The Penn Championship and Titanium models are created under the championship label. The Penn Championship are the best selling tennis balls in the U.S. because of their durability and visibility. The Titanium balls are enhanced for longer lasting durability and can most likely be purchased from eBay and Amazon.com. Penn recreational tennis balls include the Penn Court One and Penn Radical. The Court One is designed for amateurs and can be used on all surfaces, while the Radical, also meant for amateurs, is endorsed by Andre Agassi.
There are pros and cons to any of these brands. It's important to consider a few factors before deciding on a brand: the location of the tennis match, the duration of the match, and the expected weather conditions. Answering all these questions will line anyone up with the right tennis ball choice.
