Tennis Ball : What is it?
| The inner cores of tennis balls are made of glued hollow rubber shells. Two pieces of cloth shaped like dumbbells are connected to their cores to give them their overall round structure. Tennis balls are also characterized by their yellow felt covering. The density of the felt varies according to the playing surface the ball will be used on.

Kinds of Tennis Balls include the following: |
Pressurized tennis balls
Pressurized tennis balls have thick rubber cores pressurized with nitrogen or oxygen. They are suitable for all tennis court surfaces including soft, hard, and indoor courts. They can be gamma pressurized with nitrogen to allow for slower leakage.
Pressureless tennis balls
Pressureless tennis balls do not bounce as fast as regular tennis balls because they have hardly compressed thick rubber cores filled with ambient/air pressure. They are great for children, beginners, and older tennis players who need to work on the consistency of their strokes. They do not flatten.
Championship tennis balls
Championship tennis balls are normally pressurized by gas. Their fuzz is made of wool-treated, stain-resistant felt. They come in different felt types for use in different playing surfaces like clay, concrete, and grass.

Felt type: For use in hard tennis courts, choose tennis balls with denser felt that is highly resistant to abrasion and can take countless hits and bounces on concrete. Choose tennis balls with a finer felt for use in indoor and clay courts. These tennis balls have minimal fluff that does not affect ball bounce.
Speed: Choose slow tennis balls with a large diameter for grass playing surfaces. For clay playing surfaces, get fast tennis balls.
Skill level: If you are a recreational or amateur tennis player, choose pressureless tennis balls for practice and training purposes, as they are easy to control. If you are a professional player, choose pressurized tennis balls that bounce well and fast on various playing surfaces.
Regulation standards: For official games, choose white or yellow seamless tennis balls according to the International Tennis Federation (ITF). They should have a bounce back level of 53 to 58 inches.
