Enhanced neon green color making it easier to pick up optically for faster reaction time and improved playability.

By the holes being consistent in size and placement, there’s more material evenly spaced between the holes to improve the balls ability to withstand cracking and getting out of shape. It will also provide a truer flight while playing.

Yes, the improved polymer composite handles hot and cold weather better ensuring less cracking and helping it stay round longer. The harder material also makes the ball more enjoyable for all playing levels (especially the intermediate and advanced players).

Indoor pickleball is lighter and softer as compared to outdoor balls. Outdoor pickleball has smaller holes as compared to indoor pickleball which provides a perfect bounce. Outdoor pickleball is designed to be less affected by wind and heats up in unfavourable weather conditions.

We primarily looked at two factors:

• Durability and longevity. The longevity of pickleball balls generally varies. However, you may expect an outdoor pickleball to last at least ten games before starting to show cracks. The lifespan of indoor balls is more, considering the exposure to the elements that never occurs. While they usually do not crack, indoor pickleball balls develop soft spots when played with for extended times.
• Material. Everyone knows that pickleball balls are made of plastic. So, why consider the material after all? The best pickleball balls are made using only the best thermoset plastics like acrylic, epoxies, and melamine.

For the casual player who just plays for fun and boasts no aspirations to ever play competitively, the pickleball ball's type may not be important and both types may even be used interchangeably. However, for those of you who desire the best playing experience, we recommend keeping both types handy.

As a rule of thumb, pickleball ball should last around 10 games before it begins to crack or show signs that it’s ready to be replaced, but it could last for a long time.

If you’re playing longer rallies, it might not last so long.

A lot depends on how much it has been used but also the conditions where it was used. How hard you hit the ball factors into how long the pickleball will last and even ambient temperature can be a factor.

Generally speaking, the hard surfaces of the courts mean that outdoor pickleball balls have a shorter lifespan than indoor balls, which are used on softer courts.

One of the simplest ways to know if a pickleball is worn out is to check the roundness of it. Outdoor pickleball balls in particular often get knocked out of shape and this is a sign that a new ball is needed.

Cracking is also common for both types but, again, the outdoor balls tend to be the worst. This is simply because they are being used on a much harder surface.

Indoor balls sometimes have a texture to them and if you notice worn spots in this, then a replacement may be needed.
