GAMMA Beginner Child or Adult Training (Transition) Practice Tennis Balls: Orange 60 or Green 78 Dot (25%-50% Slower Ball Speed) - 12, 36, 48, 60 Pack Sizes

These were recommended by the tennis instructor last summer and they were just perfectly with kids and teens rackets. We’ve been very happy with them.

Gamma tends to make great tennis products, these are no exception. I find them slightly higher quality than other green ball manufacturers, and they come in this cool rectangular bucket. I carry them onto the court with me when I teach a green ball class, whenever my teaching basket is out I grab the bucket and reload. I also like the extremely bright green color. It's as if Gamma purposefully made their Green balls extra "Green". They are great and I will buy them again.

ok - so as usual - i can't buy anything without going to at least 10 diff places to price compare. the usual for something like tennis balls - sports authority, dicks sporting goods and various - tennis online places. Using the amazon price as my base price. the other places were more, some much more. then i saw these green gamma balls at walmart.com. and the price was like $10 cheaper. i was so excited and was just about to order. but i looked closer at the picture - and they are not the same balls as these. initially i thought that the balls were color specific. so if i get gamma green colored balls - they must be it. but it is not. there are other type of gamma green colored balls that are not the 78 balls. just be warned- so you don't almost make the mistake i was gonna make. the balls arrived pretty quick. husband is using them with my son. they are functioning well. amazon does have the best price on these balls. trust me - i looked

I almost didn't order these balls because of some less than stellar reviews on their bounce quality. They are fine for practice.I coach tennis as my job, and also coach my own kids and their friends at the local park. At work I use the balls the tennis club purchases. At the park, I use balls I purchase myself. I went ahead and ordered these because we needed to work with the green ball this season.True - there are a couple odd balls in the bunch! We hit a couple that bounced funny and you could feel an uneven thickness in the rubber lines on the balls. Still - we kept those odd balls in and just looked at them as surprise reaction opportunities during our practice drills. Of course, I wouldn't suggest running an official tennis tournament with these balls. But for practice all summer and fall at the park, they have been just fine.They are more durable than lively. Since I live in New England, the balls will sit unused in the basement all winter. I can presume by the feel of the balls that we will likely get a little more use out of them next Spring. They hardly show any wear from playing all season on hard courts outdoors. On the flip side, they are not as bouncy and lively as the Penn green dot balls we have inside the tennis club. Those balls however, lose their liveliness soon enough. It's all give and take.Another thing I like about these balls is the green dot is inconspicuous. Our old green balls were bi-colored and the extra green resulted in a visual distraction on a spinning ball. These balls look like regular yellow balls during play. The green dot makes them identifiable for sorting purposes.I also own a bucket of Gamma yellow balls for practice. Those have a similar durability without liveliness issue. Overall I would say the issue is less noticeable during play with these green balls than with the yellow balls. In other words, when you go to play your tournament, are you going to feel like you are on the moon playing with the wrong ball? The answer for the Gamma yellow balls may be yes. But the answer for these green balls is no. It is a close-enough feeling of play that the kids can practice with these and perform well in competition with competition balls (which have more feel and are livelier).If we were millionaires, we'd crack a new can of green balls for every practice. For what we want to pay, these balls suit our needs just fine.

Love shape and size. Good quality and price!

These are great to play with for my 9 yo son, who can't quite deal with the speed of normal pressure tennis balls. The slightly slower speed these balls have allow my son to hit shots with confidence, practicing what he's learned from tennis lessons. It also lets this aging dad (and his mom!) be able to keep up and have good rallies together. This allows my son to take risks and start developing some of the skills to adjust and adapt to different aspects of the game (ie. drop shots, net play, lob shots, etc). Get the 50 ball bucket as these will quickly develop into fuzzy tennis balls on hard surface courts.

Our dogs love the Kong squeaker balls. They're expensive and after about 5 minutes of that steady squeak noise multiplied by 2 (we have 4 dogs total) and the love starts fading away. I went to the store for a quiet ball that was the same size and was blown away by the price. On my way out of the store, I passed the sporting section and saw a flash of yellow.I picked up 3 kids tennis balls for the price of 1 ball for dogs. I was hooked. I came to Amazon to see if I could buy more and now our yard is littered with these balls.Our dogs don't destroy these balls trying to find the squeaker - they're strictly for fetch and they last. A couple have become victims of the riding lawn mower, but for the price, who cares.Kimberly, Keep the Tail Wagging
