You need balls which are durable and easy to play with. They should have a bounce which is in line with your playing ability. You need slow balls which are not compressed.
Regular player
You’ll be looking for a ball which can last longer. It should have good bounce. You should feel in control when you hit it. You need lively, compressed balls.

Tennis product manager
If you play tennis on a regular basis, you'll want to play with match balls to ensure a better feel and durability. Match balls are mostly made from natural felt and natural rubber. This is the case for our TB920 ball, which is used by professionals at the Moselle Open. If I can share one tip, it's that playing with a "match ball" will be more enjoyable!
