CORE Pickleball Balls for Professionals and All Levels of Play, USA Pickleball Approved Durable Outdoor Pickleball Balls with 40 Holes (6 Pack FBM)

Balls are great, but for indoors. Wrong product sent, but I didn't notice in time to return....my fault. If you buy this item, make sure to open and inspect .

Good reliable play without dead spots or softening. Each ball lasted about 3 days (15 games or so). A good option for those that buy Dura Fast 40 balls.

I've been playing with CORE outdoor balls for a few years and really like that it performs like other tournament-rated balls, but also has more durability than a DURA Fast 40. The bounce is consistent and our rallies are faster than with other balls (i.e. Franklin X-40). This is an excellent price, especially with it's better durability than other tourney-rated, high performance balls.So far, I've never had one of my balls crack even though there are some very hard hitters in the group. I usually "retire" the rec play balls to the practice squad after the balls looks like they've been hit around a lot (i.e. the scuffing on the exterior of the ball and/or the bounce or spin seems a little less than a new ball). However, I do take good care of my performance balls and equipment. Meaning that I would never leave my paddle, nor balls in a hot, humid or extremely cold place (like the trunk of a car) for an extended period of time. I don't know if or how much that could affect the balls, but I do know that it would significantly affect my paddle. So therefore, i treat them the same and make sure to store them properly.

Purchased a pack of 6 these in 2021 and played in summer and fall weather, and all the balls were retired after a few games. Recently found a few left over and thought to try them again. But they seem to go out of round after a few games, and I can see them wobbling when they are in the air. We are a recreational group, very few hard hitters, so I can only assume that the quality of the ball is not very good.

Fastest, most durable, overall best
