Overview
Penn's 100% wool, regular duty tennis ball, the official ball of USTA leagues, built for soft and clay courts though playable on hard courts too. Interlocked wool fiber and a natural rubber core aim for a bounce that stays consistent through a full match.
Regular duty means a thinner, more tightly woven felt meant for clay and soft courts, not the extra-duty felt tuned for hard courts, worth knowing since Penn sells this same ball in extra-duty and high-altitude felt too, and the wrong pick wears fast on asphalt. The listing calls it the top selling tennis ball in America, a claim from Amazon's own copy rather than an independent source.
