Overview
Driveways, playgrounds and short courts are where these Wilson red balls work, giving young players a larger ball with a much lower bounce. Dot and number branding helps tell balls apart.
Kids get more time to reach the ball and longer rallies on small courts. Players moving up to full courts will outgrow them quickly.
Who it's for
First lessons and backyard tennis for young kids suit these balls. Experienced juniors need a faster ball.
Pros and cons
- Large and easy to hit
- Slow bounce for longer rallies
- USTA and ITF approved
- Numbered for identification
- Too slow for full courts
- Only three balls
Performance notes
The low bounce and larger size slow the ball down, giving small players more time to set up. Court size matters, since the slower ball suits short courts.
