The ball is almost as important an element of tennis equipment as a racket. It's obvious there's no game without it. And did you know that a tennis ball was once a wooden ball that was bounced with your hands ?! Only later did the Scots begin using hollow balls and tying them with wool and string. But it wasn't until the 19th century that brought us the prototype of the rubber tennis ball that we know from the courts today.
Have you ever wondered why the ball has a nap? This nap, which is a felt material made of nylon, has a very significant influence on the game of tennis. First of all, it slows down the ball during the flight, allows you to control your shots better and provides an appropriate bounce after bouncing off the ground.
It is worth knowing that the nap on the balls varies depending on the court surface they are dedicated to. So, for artificial and grass courts, the slowest balls, i.e. the fluffiest ones, are chosen. For brick courts we use faster and less fluffy balls. All court tennis balls for all types of courts are also available for sale. Their parameters are averaged to ensure comfortable play and excellent durability. Novice players often do not pay much attention to the proper selection of tennis balls, which may make their game a bit worse. As with any single product, individual tennis balls differ in the quality of the materials used. Some ball models are manufactured using modern technologies that ensure greater playing comfort. Others are characterized by high-quality material that gives better durability to the product. The properties of tennis balls have a huge impact on the course of the match.
We divide tennis balls into pressure, non-pressure and sponge balls. The latter are intended for the youngest children. The most frequently chosen balls are pressure balls, which are used both for training and for tournament play at both amateur and professional levels. During production, they are filled with compressed air. Packing the balls in special pressurized cans maximizes their shelf life. Pressure balls have very good jumping properties. Non-pressure balls are used only for the training game. They are heavier, bounce higher and are much more durable than pressure balls because their interior is not filled with air. They are a frequent choice of trainers and people using the ball launcher.
Tennis balls should be replaced regularly. With a longer period of use, more power and frequency of playing, the ball loses its properties, the rebound becomes lower and the flight slows down. Therefore, it is worth buying higher quality tennis balls to extend the service life and feel the pleasure of playing.
