Aren't all tennis balls reasonably good?

By Jeff Cooper, About.com

Question: Aren't all tennis balls reasonably good?

Answer: All major brands of standard, pressurized balls play well when new. Brands do have subtle differences in the way they feel, and players who like to hang onto a can as long as possible will find that some have better bounce and/or fuzz durability than others. Many players find non-standard sizes and some practice ballscompletely unacceptable, even brand new.
