I don't really like wilson balls. They don't have much bounce except for us opens. Dunlop Grand Prix's are pretty nice. I find the core is a bit harder than regular balls so even when they do lose the 14 psi they will still have a bit of bounce. However they usually 'fuzz up' more than other balls. My favourite ball is Penn ATP. They are expensive (about 9 bucks a can) but they have nice longlasting bounce.

Thanks! Ive been playin with dunlops. When theyre brand new they seem to be way to heavy. Lat time i got new dunlops they broke both of my rackets. Theyre durable but heavy.
And by the way, around here Penn atps are only 2 bucks a can. So ill prolly go with those.

Thanks
Jake

I went out today and filled my whole ball hopper up with atps. I went to the tennis courts and played for about 5 hours. I love them. Thanks.

The Dunlop Grand Prix's are the very best I've seen. I've been under the impression since the 1970's that all tennis balls are the same. I have to tell you a funny story where I was practicing with the ball machine and I saw two fellas leaving the court and dropping a can of balls in the trash. I got them out as I was leaving thinking that they would be good to add to my hopper. They were the Grand Prix's and I still can't get over the bounce they still have three months later. Years ago I purchased 2 cases of Wilson US Open's, but now I'm going to slowly work some cans of Grand Prix's into the stock.
