Overview
The Franklin X-40 Outdoor pickle ball has been, and continues to be one of the most universally liked pickle balls on the market, and for good reason. Thanks to an advanced single piece design, premium PE materials, and a precision drilled 40 hole pattern, the X-40 flies straight, and delivers a consistent bounce over the long haul. The durable and firm construction, 26 gram weight, and all-around predictable performance of the X-40 is such that it was chosen as the official ball for the US Open Pickleball Championships, and is also great for players of all skill-levels.

Long-lasting ball, but no one else likes itThe Lava-colored Franklin X-40 outdoor pickleball is a perfectly great pickleball. It plays just as well as the Optic/Neon colored versions of these, and in my personal experience, the orange ones don't crack nearly as often (I suspect due to the dye chemicals used)! Unfortunately, no one else likes the color, even though I think it looks fine and is easily trackable. So for that reason, I can't recommend this product because as soon as you pull this orange ball out, someone will complain about the orange color and inevitably go and grab their Optic-colored X-40 ball. Only buy this if you specifically have a use case for orange balls and the people you play with won't have a problem with orange colored pickleballs!

X-40This ball is awesome I picked the lava color so that I wouldn't lose them in the sea of pickleballs at the court, only down side is people seem to prefer not using them and will go out of their way to get a neon one from a friend or something lol. I love it and find it extremely funny that people do this. I 100% recommend these Franklin X-40’s. Good price compared to wall mart and others.

Most difficult to bring back homeEveryone keeps these balls. I keep coming back for more. Because I believe I can see the orange color better, especially at dusk. And they do not crack. And they do not grow soft. Even people who prefer yellow balls will use my Franklin orange balls after they hit a few.
