Customer Reviews
Dead cansStill can't seem to figure out why their balls don't bounce and one out of every four cans is dead balls. I guess that's why they are less a case than other brands. I'd rather spend a bit more and get consistent balls that actually bounce...
Tennis BallsThese Penn Championship extra duty balls are great quality.
goodGood!
Penn balls - best product everPenn balls are more durable and performance for professional and enthusiastic players; the best cost benefit on the market.
Penn BallsI have always had a good experience with this type of ball, sometimes we find a ball without pressure, but I know that these are things that can happen, in general it seems to me a good ball for practicing tennis at a recreational level.
Case of ballsHave ordered these in the past - not sure I will again. Last case had at least 4 cans where the balls were flat and would not bounce which was very odd since the cans still had pressure when we opened them. This time, there is definitely one can with no pressure- it'll take a while to see if there are other pressurized cans with flat balls like the previous case.
Good Customer ServiceThe item arrived about 1 1/2 months late due to supply chain issues. But TW was professional enough to alert me to this problem before I made the purchase and gave me an estimated delivery date which it met. I don't often receive this kind of attention to detail when I purchase online, which is what gave me the confidence to go ahead with the purchase.

Comments: Just received my order. Almost half of them felt flat right out of the can and one of them seemed open already. I'm not happy with the quality.

Comments: I bought these for my ball machine. They were good fresh off the can but, as others said below, their longevity is terrible. The felt hold out pretty good, but they barely bounced after a few hitting sessions. I had used other brands before that fared way better, and for far longer. If these would be sold for half the price advertised now, I would still buy them as I could afford to change them often. But for what they are asking now, I'll pass.

Comments: I bought a case of these balls then injured myself and was out for several months. When I came back the balls had lost their bounce though the cans were still pressurized. Several players at my club have had the same problem with Penn balls. Penn said that the balls were expired and only replaced three cans.

Comments: These balls are only good for a set then they're done.
From:Brad, 10/21/19
Comments: We opened two cans of Penn balls last night. One can of balls was noticeably lighter and hollow sounding when you hit them. The can I purchased was quite heavier and harder when they were hit. Both sets of balls lasted through four sets of doubles with just the right amount of fluff for me. Both sets were also bright yellow and good enough to use again as practice balls.
From:DTH, 2/12/18
Comments: I agree. Penn Championship used to be one of the best tennis balls out there but it's durablity went down by a whole lot! I meant to contact Penn about this. It fluffed up after 15 minutes of hitting and felt really light. No matter how hard you swing at it, it doesn't go and it's easily carried away by the wind. Not sure what happened!
From:Lynss, 4/20/17
Comments: Something changed with these balls, and the ones from the case purchased from TW are different than others of same type/brand that my playing partners bring. The color is a brighter yellow, and they fluff within minutes. So bad that I open a can just for warmup and then discard -- they won't last through a set of a match without severe performance degradation. Used to be a go-to ball for reliability and durability, but no way would purchase them again. I would be curious to know if others have had this same experience.

Note from TW: Hi Matt -- We will talk to Penn and see if they have made any changes in production. Stay tuned!
Comments: We just played the Middle States Sectionals using Penn extra duty tennis balls. They were very light and fast. I couldn't imagine ever using them again to practice. The Penn ATP ball is excellent, but the Championship balls are the worst ball I've ever played with.
From:Rick, 9/15
Comments: These balls crack too easily.
From:George, 11/14
Comments: I like these balls. They are fast, don't fluff up, and don't lose their speed over the course of a match. I like a hard, fast ball -- so these are great for me.
From:Anon, 11/14
Comments: I found these balls simply put and more than anything else, don't bounce consistently. (There are other issues with these balls, but their unreliable bounce is what is most important to me.)That might not be a problem if you're a mile behind the baseline and have time to adjust, but, for me, who starts his swing often before the ball hits the court, it's a big deal. I routinely half-volley shots off the baseline, and Penn balls aren't reliable for me.

Comments: I have been playing tennis for the last 20 years. I bought a case of Penn XD tennis balls a few months ago. They were the worst I'd ever played with. They did not bouce well at all. I hate it. Those tennis balls were terrible.
