You need: • Slow to medium pace for more time to get in position. • Soft impact to forgive off-centre hits. • Little or no spin for simple trajectories. |
You need: • Fast pace to move your opponent around. • Strong impact to get the most out of middled shots. • Maximum spin to vary trajectory. |
 These balls are highly recommended for children. |
Most of these balls can be used in official adult competitions. |
| To help you choose the right tennis balls, Decathlon’s Research and Development centre carried out methodical tests on 4 important criteria that you should take into account: Comfort on impact, spin, speed and long-lasting felt. These tests were put in place by Decathlon and validated by each of the brands. |
| COMFORT ON IMPACT | |
| Impact felt by a player on hitting the ball. The lower the impact, the more comfortable the ball. | |
| SPIN | |
| Ball’s ability to take spin. | |
| SPEED | |
| Ball’s ability to accelerate. | |
| LONG-LASTING FELT | |
| Felt’s ability to resist abrasion. | |
