The crème de la crème of tennis balls. Wilson US Open tennis balls are considered among a lot of tennis players to be the best tennis ball on the market. Whether you pick the Wilson us open regular duty ball or extra duty ball, both variations are top notch.
This high-quality ball is known to be used in most pro level events across the USA and belong, as well as most high-level junior tournaments. The ball gives of a precise bounce and a crisp feel on the contact point. It holds its integrity for a long time, allowing players to enjoy the game to its fullest.
There are some differences between the Regular Duty and the Extra Duty balls, which most recreational players are not aware of.
The Regular Duty ball, commonly referred to as women’s ball is a bit lighter and feels like it has less fuzz. And if that isn’t true, I can at least with some certainty say that the fuzz wears off faster than the extra duty ball. This ball feels lighter on the impact and seams to travel through the air faster with a slightly higher bounce. Lots of female athletes prefer this ball since it feels easier on the shoulder and the hitting arm.
The Extra Duty ball, commonly referred to as the men’s ball, is heavier and feels thicker with its fuzz fluffing up more and thus makes you think that the ball is bigger. In my opinion the extra duty ball has longer longevity then the regular duty ball, and this might be the reason it is more broadly preferred amongst clubs and recreational tournaments. Also, in sporting goods stores you will rarely find the Regular Duty ball in stock, especially if you specifically want the women’s ball. It’s best to order it online.
These tennis ball rock! Enjoy your game.
