What are the different types of tennis ball?

If you're thinking of taking up tennis, you're probably looking for a range of equipment to get you started in the best possible conditions. While the choice of your outfit is essential, selecting the right tennis balls for your level is just as important if you are to enjoy your game to the full and want to repeat the experience. Tennis has been evolving rapidly for many years, and new equipment is constantly being created to help players improve their performance and skills on the court. To provide players with the best possible sensations, different models of tennis ball have been developed.

Foam tennis balls

Made from a spongy composite, foam tennis balls are the perfect model for beginners, as they are soft, light and easy to control and hit. Children and beginners alike can learn to play tennis and concentrate on their technique. With this type of tennis ball, beginners can improve much more quickly. Tennis balls for beginners also include the red and yellow model, which is stiffer and more similar to traditional tennis balls.

Traditional tennis balls

For more experienced, intermediate or advanced tennis players, standard tennis balls are more suitable, as they are more suited to competitions and matches. If you've acquired a certain amount of skill through your training, this type of tennis ball will give you a faster bounce and greater durability. With standard tennis balls, you can improve your game and take on more competitive opponents.

How to choose the right tennis balls?

Pressurized vs. unpressurized tennis balls

Pressurized tennis balls:

Grip and bounce: These balls offer better grip and optimal bounce thanks to the pressurized air inside. They are generally the preferred choice of tennis professionals.
Durability: However, they lose their pressure over time, which reduces their performance more quickly. So it's important to replace them regularly.

Pressureless tennis balls:

Weight and durability: Although often heavier, which can affect the quality of play, they are more durable because they do not depend on internal pressure. They are ideal for occasional players looking for long-lasting balls.

Choice according to type of terrain

Hard surfaces (concrete, artificial turf) :

Higher pressure: Opt for balls with higher pressure for better bounce and improved playing dynamics on these fast surfaces.

Clay:

Lower pressure: Lower-pressure balls are recommended because they slow down play and offer better control, essential on this slower surface.
Hot weather: These balls are also preferable in hot weather, as they avoid excessively high bounces.

Outdoor playing conditions

Wind: In windy conditions, opt for heavier, high-pressure balls. They provide better trajectory control, making the game more precise in difficult weather conditions.

Choosing the right tennis ball for your level of play, type of court and weather conditions can greatly improve your performance and comfort on the court. Take these factors into account to optimize your game and make the most of your tennis time.
