I think this is a valid concern for pro, semi-pro, collegiate and competitive recreational players. Not so sure for the millions of other players who play with crappy, uneven, knotted, too rough/smooth “ordinary” balls everyday. Of course that doesn’t mean there is a market for it.
- sublinear 4y agoI don't believe ordinary balls would experience the same level of degradation simply because the pressurized air inside is most of what makes it bounce
