Tretorn Micro-X Tennis Balls
I'm going to premise this by saying that I've always been a Penn and/or Wilson tennis ball kind of guy. All the others that I've tried (Dunlop and Slazenger included), have all landed flat (pun intended). Not that they aren't playable, I'm not that picky, but I've found Wilson and Penn to be superior and last much longer.
However, that might change. Tretorn's Micro-X balls, according to the product descriptions, have 700 million balloon-like microcells inside them that don’t leak. What this patented technology means is that they don't rely on gas pressure like every other ball out there. Bottom line, they play and store much, much longer.
They're ITF and USTA approved for all tournament play, by the way.
Another thing I like about these spheres of bouncy goodness is that they come in a cool can. Let's face it, in a world where design has come to the masses, a facelift for the 'ole Pringles can is well overdue.
Now...this extra life does come at a price. I found these at Mansion Select for $6.75 per sleeve of three. This is roughly twice what a 3-pack of Penn balls cost. But, if they live up to their billing, it should be worth it.
