HEAD Radical Tennis Balls, Triple Pack (12 Balls)

Product Information

Tennis balls vary a lot depending on their manufacturers and the brands that trial, test and innovate tennis balls to enhance performance for the players on the court. This is because tennis balls have a surprising amount of features and options available including regular or heavy duty-make, pressurized or pressureless and durability levels. When they are fresh from the cardboard tube, I find them hard and challenging to play with, but 20 minutes in, they improve. Overall I find them slightly inconsistent with bounce, but I would recommend giving them a go as the durability makes them an excellent choice for players who don’t want to keep buying fresh cans week in and week out.

I have seen part of Andy Murray match, but Andy is a big self-talker, so the only thing he hears when playing must be own voice 😉 Overall it seems that HEAD have done a decent job at upgrading the Radical and we can’t see a reason why any standard of amateur player shouldn’t at least be trying this one out.All balls used in league matches etc. are pressurised, so it makes sense to practice with them too. Otherwise, you’ll be in for a nasty surprise come match day as they fly through the court far more than pressureless balls. Avoid Buying From Shops That Don’t Sell Balls Often Pressurised balls are sold in airtight containers to maintain the pressure inside the ball which needs to be 14-16 lbs for a proper bounce. The reason here is that the pressure in the tube does leak over time, so if you buy one that’s been gathering dust for the last 12 months, the balls won’t be as good as a tube fresh from the manufacturer, and they will not bounce as high.

I tried so far 2 cans and both are identical: THE WORST tennis balls. If you guys do not trust my feeling, just go and waste your money. Moreover, their price is the same as the price which I paid for SLAZENGER which I bought from the UK…. Historically, Penn balls were made in Arizona, but since they were bought out by Head, the factory closed in 2009 and manufacturing was farmed out to China. Many players on the forums say that the US made ones were of better quality but having never used them before the switch I can’t comment. For some reason the Fort All Court divides opinion, some players love it, others look away in disgust when you take a fresh can from your bag and instead insist on using their own Slazenger Wimbledon balls. Even though they’re both made in the same factory in the Philippines 😁 In the 1870s, tennis balls were made from India rubber, which was formed from a vulcanisation process invented by Charles Goodyear.The reason they are numbered is to stop them from getting mixed up when you are playing on courts that are side by side. Because the pressure inside the ball is higher than the air pressure outside, the pressure inside will leak out slowly over time. The sealed pressure inside the manufacturer’s tin or tube creates an equilibrium around the ball which keeps the air inside the ball from seeping out. You’ll find Head championship tennis balls, Head radical tennis balls, and Head pro tennis balls to browse through, all of which come with features dedicated to specific skill levels and plays. We provide additional tennis elbow supports to give you the support you need on the court. Austin then moved up to the net, “I started off with a few volleys going long but once I worked out my rhythm I was finding it really easy to get my spots, getting nice depth on my volleys and closing it out really well.” Whenever you open a fresh can of balls, you will have probably noticed the balls are usually numbered either with a 1, 2, 3, or 4.

I tested this ball when it first came out, and it’s an interesting ball. I used them for about ten separate hitting sessions, and the ball will last you a good long time. An old wives’ tale is that balls numbered four are better as they are pressurised more. This is false. The Tecnifibre X One Ball is probably the best ball on the market right now. It’s a high quality, pro-level tournament ball and has been used at several ATP 250/500 tournaments including Marseille, Rotterdam, and Gstaad. Originally tennis balls were made solely of rubber, but they were soon improved by covering them with flannel stitched around the rubber core. Further developments saw the core hollowed and pressurised with gas. Well, perfect silence is something I love, but only if it’s natural. It’s for sure not natural for athletes doing a show-like sport.

The balls are made from high-quality rubber made by Bridgestone and covered with 72% natural felt from Milliken whose felts are used on several other high-quality balls.

Right now I’m trying to understand, how it goes on hobby courts, where there is no public at all. But – players are speaking to each other from time to time, courts are close to street or park, so there is always some noise.. If one court has Wilson US Open Balls marked with a 2, and the other courts are numbered 4, it is easy to distinguish between.

Head Titanium Tennis Racket

The iconic Slazenger Wimbledon ball. Along with the Dunlop Fort, it’s one of the most commonly used balls at club level in the UK, and pretty much every player who’s played the game will have used the Slazenger Wimbledon at some point. I’ve always found it a solid ball to play with on hard courts. It’s not the best ball I’ve ever played with, but it is more than good enough for club level play and has always played consistently for me. Under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES the PREMIUM tennis balls do not deserve ANY ATTENTION: totally garbage, generating arm issues, bouncing crazy like stones, and ABSOLUTELY NO FEEL AT ALL. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, enjoy excellent playability, turn to Head tour tennis balls for a greater spin, feel and consistency for club and recreational play. Our Pro tennis balls range caters to mid and advanced players, perfect for tournaments and featuring unique Smartopik technology for greater visibility and precise shots. The final pitfall to avoid is don’t buy balls from places that only sell a tube of balls once in a blue moon.
