TOURNA Strike Outdoor Pickleballs USAPA Approved

Like may people, I've discovered pickle ball & just started playing recreationally in the past year. I needed outdoor balls with decent quality and pricing. I cannot really tell which balls are balanced, have good air time, weight, and are exceptional. When playing outside with or without a breeze, I just want balls which perform decently. Pickle balls are all fairly lightweight with plastic material, I noticed that the holes can vary in size which effects wind resistance. These balls seem to have decent plastic construction and have not cracked or split. I recommend them for recreational players who play for fun & exercise, not looking for a competitive edge.

I have no problem playing with these pickle balls. However the groups that I play with are much pickier than me and don't like to play with these. They are a little hard and they crack reasonably quickly, but the Price Is Right if you're looking for a ball to practice with, or you're not playing with those who are more picky than me

Balls didn't last too long. I broke three balls in the first hour of play. It's because it's not molded as a whole plastic sphere. It's two halves joined in the middle. So, they split easily. I don't recommend these balls.

The price is excellent, even after my negatives here. Negatives are that they are lighter than other outdoor balls I have, and definitely less flexible - I expect them to crack much sooner than standard pickleballs. Oh, and they are noisier too.

The balls balls downside is their smooth shiny appearance and the joint line around the circumference that gives them a somewhat cheap look. The result is that no one in my playing group wants to use them. They have been resting in their bag since the day I got them. They seem to bounce ok so should be fine for group training sessions where their low price may be significant.
