Types of Tennis Balls

Pressurized ball

This is a tournament ball and is used by advanced and professionals players, these are one the most common used.

The internal air pressure gives a greater bounce, speed and spin, which fades quite quickly over time.

A study found that the life span of pressurized balls only lasts for 2 weeks.

Pressure less ball

Generally used for beginners, practice and recreational play.

Bounces from the rubber shell, not the air inside means they wont lose their bounce like standards ball, in fact they actually gain bounce as the outer felt begins to fade. The only con is, some players find this ball to be heavier to play with.
