Customer Reviews
Extremely Durable!Even after a long, extended match, these balls were still going strong in extremely humid conditions. Super durable. Thoughtful of Dunlop in making these Eco-friendly containers.
FluffyThese tennis balls fluff up within 10 minutes. Pace of play slows immensely. Not sure why the massive difference in the expensive atp tour vs atp championship balls. I won't buy these again at $110.
This ball has me rethinking everythingI've never bought a deader ball that bounced so little. I was constantly hunched over trying to reach. So hard to generate any pace... is this why the pros use such heavy racquets? Don't know if I got a weird case from Tennis Warehouse or the ball just doesn't bounce much like other balls I've hit with throughout my life.
Terrible balls for advanced playStraight out of the box you can tell that these balls are very light and have less pressure than average. They fluff up incredibly quickly and play unbelievably slow throughout most of their life. Hitting with 5.0 players these don't even last an entire set without one going dead. Would stay away from these.
Great ball for all surfacesI love this ball. This ball maintains its consistent bounce throughout a match. It’s not too light, nor too hard. Highly recommend this ball.

These tennis balls are great!Love these Dunlop ATP Tour balls. Their felt lasts for a good four to five sessions.

THE best balls by far!These balls get better after the first few minutes and they're never flat and hard like the Wilson and Penn balls I used to buy at Walmart. They are consistent from can to can unlike those as well. The only ball that comes close is the Babolat Gold ball which is what I use if these aren't available. They will get fuzzy on worn courts but on nice courts they are the best.

FuzzI saw other comments about these balls fuzzing up badly and didn’t want to believe it. Sadly, these balls began to fuzz within a couple of games and by the end of the match the fuzz was absurd. I love the feel and playability of these balls but the fuzz has me disappointed in this purchase.

Fluff after 10 gamesThese balls became fluffy after about 10 games. It would seem they are truly ATP balls made to only last 8 games as for the pros who get new balls after 8 games!!

Dunlop ATP Tour Extra Duty Tennis Ball 24 CanThese are not the least expensive balls on the market, I was looking for consistency in bounce, durability and feel. This ball delivers. Great match balls that then turn into drill balls for a week or so. They maintain their bounce, fuzz and touch.

Comments: Bought a case and not happy really about these balls. They seemed soft and somewhat dead in my opinion when they came out of the can, and they fuzzed up almost immediately. After a half hour drill, 4.5 to 5.0 level, the bounce become really low. I prefer the Pro Penn Marathon and US Open Extra Duty balls. They last longer, the felt does not fall apart and the bounce is more consistent. Would not recommend or buy again. I miss the Dunlop Fort.

Comments: Played with these for an hour and a half this morning. Best bouncing and feeling ball I've ever played with. Better than the US Open balls. Better than the Penn Tour balls. Bounced true, but was not overly hard on impact. Fuzzed up a little, but not overly so like a Dunlop Grand Prix ball. Added a level of fun to our hitting and set play. Obviously, you pay for the official ATP ball designs action, but these are very high quality and enjoyable tennis balls. Going to be getting more of these balls for match play.

Comments: In my opinion the Dunlop ATP Extra Duty is the best ball out there. I finally decided I wanted to make the switch to a premium ball from the standard Penn Championship. The Penn Champ is an okay ball, but it has a very inconsistent bounce. Before committing to a case of any of the premium Wilson, Penn, or Dunlop, I playtested all three balls. It wasn't even close for me as I immediately felt how much better the Dunlop ball bounced. It feels more comfortable and easier coming off the string bed. The ground bounce it also better and consistent. I did not like the bounce on the Penn and Wilson premium balls. The Dunlop ATP ball held up well after two hours of play. This is a standard for me. I play on newly surfaced courts and the Dunlop ball started falling off at about the one hour and a half mark, but was still playing good up until that two hour mark. It was still easily usable for some more time, but it had degraded past the point of using for my preference. The Dunlop ATP is the best ball I have played with.

Comments: Do not recommend these balls. They fuzz up quickly, are soft, even the label wears off quickly. Just not long lasting at all. I will never purchase or play with them again. I will have to stick with Penn and Wilson balls.
From: Tim, 8/5/20
Comments: Let's clear up some things about these balls, because they are great. First, they are extremely consistent. I've bought three cases of them, and I won't switch because I know what I'm getting every time. Second, they are made to fuzz up quickly and stop. Think of it as a break-in period. This is what the pros want, and Dunlop delivers. Third, they feel great. Comfortable and thin or soft, while staying light. Wilson US Opens are heavier and feel more muted, which I actually don't like. I like the connected, yet soft feeling you get with these. To use a simile, these are like using the soft tires in a Formula One car with the consistency of the hard tire. They'll look awful by the end of a third set tie-breaker, but they'll still feel and bounce like they did during the warm up. It's remarkable. I'm a mid-30's all-courter 4.0 to 4.5 level player in Atlanta. I like to hit flat and on the rise when I can, but spin keeps me in a point.

Comments: Three sets of mid level doubles on an older, slicker court, and the balls by the start of the third set were so worn we couldn't read the label. The bounce was still decent, but they felt like a racquetball ball. Not sure I'll be purchasing them again. US Open balls die after about 4-5 sets, but the felt holds up perfectly.
From: Matthew, 2/3/20
Comments: Of the three kinds of tournament-grade balls, Dunlop ATP, Penn Tour, and Wilson US Open, Dunlop ATP exceeds all the others in almost every category. From the consistent bounce, precise feel and comfort, to the grip of the cloth, they are top-notch quality. Penn ATP is comfortable and feels accurate, but its bounce varies from one ball to another, from one can to different cans. Willson US Open feels like a rock and its cloth is not as good. The ATP made a right decision to switch from Penn to Dunlop. So did Australian Open from Wilson to Dunlop. I have played with Wilson US Open for quit a while and Penn ATP for many years.

Comments: It was a mistake and waste of money for me. The Extra Duty balls are losing fuzz as fast as any cheap ones. Barely enough for one set. Not recommended.
From: Andrew, 9/29/19
Comments: I'm a club player and we've played with the ProPenn XD for many years but the quality has gone downhill to the point we needed to research a new ball. We have found it with the new Dunlop ATP. This is a top quality tennis ball, the bounce is very precise and constant. Yes they fluff rapidly, but they keep their firmness and characteristics. This is the best tennis ball we've played with and I'm hearing only positive feedback about it. During rallies they feel firm for the first 15 minutes or so, but once this short break-in period has passed they hit fabulously.
From: Danis, 6/6/19
Comments: Not crazy about them. They seemed soft and somewhat dead when they came out of the can and they fuzzed up almost immediately.
