Overview
Low-compression cores inside orange felt give these Wilson balls a bounce about half that of a standard ball. Juniors get a controllable ball on midsize courts, with dot and number branding for telling balls apart.
Juniors get a slower ball that builds control on a bigger court. Players on full-size courts will find them too slow.
Who it's for
Junior programs and driveway practice suit these balls. Adults and older juniors need standard balls.

Performance notes
