Customer Reviews
Solid quality ballGreat ball for coaching mid/high level students. Not as good as the AO ball, though it does fluff up less. Dunlop is my first choice in balls from beginner to advanced players. Highly recommend.
ExcellentDunlop Extra Duty tennis balls are the best balls I’ve played with yet.
Dunlop ATP Championship XD Tennis BallPlays great and lasts very long.
Dunlop ATP tennis balls. I have read some negative reviews about Dunlop ATP tennis balls and I don’t agree. These balls play well on indoor hard courts as well as outdoor clay courts. They last for three to six sets of singles and make excellent practice balls for a month.
Tennis ball purchaseGreat deal with Tennis Warehouse. Everything was as promised. Good selection!
Dunlop balls are great…My son's high school tennis coach recommended these balls. I’ve been very pleased with them. Tennis Warehouse had a fair price on them, and I was pleased with the purchase process and delivery.
Consistent, don't fuzz upI was a Penn man for years, but post pandemic supply-chain scarcity issues with the Penns caused me to buy these Dunlops back in 2021. Turns out I like them better than the Penns, so I keep buying them.
I've bought several cases and have never had a dud can or even a dud ball. The felt is less fluffy than the Penns and doesn't fuzz up on a rough, slow hard court, like the ones I play on. The bounce lasts weeks, so they are still okay for hitters and practice after playing.
I've also played the more expensive Dunlop Grand Prix balls, due to availability issues with both these ATP Championship balls (and Penn's). The Grand Prix balls are firmer and feel heavier when struck, probably due to slightly thicker rubber. The group I play with opens a new can every time we play, these ATP Championship balls work fine for us, so there is no advantage to the Grand Prix balls for the additional cost.
New Tennis BallsThe Dunlap ATP Championship XD tennis balls work very well, even at the higher altitude at which we play (5600 feet above sea level). This is the second time I ordered a case of these tennis balls, and I am not disappointed. Very consistent bounce, great playability, and the balls - at least so far - seem to do well on the hard courts we play on every week.
Better than recent PennsStarted buying these partway through the pandemic when stock on many things was low and I couldn't find the Penns I usually played. They are now my preferred ball, and I didn't switch back. Longer life than Penns, and if you play on a slow (i.e. rough) court like I do, they don't go fluffy like the Penns. Better bounce, and better consistency. Have bought multiple cases of them and have yet to encounter a bad can or even a dud ball.
Dunlop ATPReally good balls. Especially for their price. I recommend it because it has a really good bounce for a long time unlike Penn!
Good Price for the ProductA good practice ball. Not what I would want to compete with, but good for lessons (which is how I use them).
Good as Wilson ballsI am just a 3.5 recreational player. I usually buy Wilson brand but they are getting so expensive. So I thought I would try Dunlop and I'm very pleased with them. The fuzz on the balls seem to stay longer than the Wilson ones.
awesome tennis ballsWe really enjoy using these tennis balls. Good bounce and return.
Top Tennis USTA player for 32 yearsI love these Dunlop ATP Championship tennis balls. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a higher-level playing experience. ***** 5 stars
Dunlop Balls for trainingSuch a great price for a good product. The best option for casual players or personal sessions with instructor.
Pretty darn goodWe have been trying to get different balls over time. The regular Penns are just not what they used to be. Pro Penns are better. The Wilson US Open ball is the best for longevity and playability and overall. But, they are hard to get. That's okay with me, I'll wait. In the meantime I tried the $99 Dunlop but found them to be a little fuzzy but long lasting. These Dunlops, the $79 ones are actually really great. They last a couple of hits and have good liveliness. They also have a consistency that is pretty darn good. Actually, we have a Sunday Doubles group that have recently commented on these when I put them into the rotation for a couple of weeks. I almost want to say don't get them to you, so there will be more available for me. That's selfish though and not the way I roll. So, I'll say, if you want an excellent practice ball, get these. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Forget the Costco balls. These beat them by miles.
Dunlop ATP BallsThese are preferred by players at my club. They're good for a 4-5 sets and don't break the bank. The case arrived as promised.
Dunlop ATPThese Dunlop tennis balls are very good and they are long-lasting. Currently I play tennis 4 or 5 days a week and these are my favorite tennis balls for sure.
Great tennis balls!I love Dunlop Extra Duty balls and have played with them for many, many years. They will outlast most other balls I've tried by at least 2 to 1. Excellent felt, durable, and very consistent.

Comments: This is an update to my earlier review in April. I still consider these balls to be excellent for the money for match play. The pressure noticeably decreases by the third set, but not any worse the the Penn and Wilson balls at the same price point. However, they won't be good for a second match so if durability is your thing, I recommend spending a little more and buying Pro Penn Marathon. Another thing I like about these balls are they are ready to go and I'm able to hit big shots in the first and second games. Other brands seem to have a longer break in. These, in my opinion, are the best value and a decent ball that suits a lot of playing styles.

Comments: At first, I found these tennis balls to be a little soft. I was a little skeptical, but after a few days of practice, they have a nice feel. Good all-around tennis ball. It seems like they need to be broken in slightly.
From: Anonymous, 8/6/21
Comments: The Dunlop balls are great for teaching and last a good month before they start to lose pressure. For the price I found these to be exceptional balls, spending $90 a case is not an option when going through 20 cases a summer.
From: Craig, 4/29/21
Comments: I found these balls to be fine at least for outdoor play in Southeast Michigan. Despite some negative reviews, I decided to try these since the price was right and there is free shipping. Three cans in versus three different opponents with varying styles and none of us have found anything wrong with these balls. They seemed to keep their pressure and didn't have any noticeable defects. My last opponent remarked that they don't feel as bouncy as standard Wilson or Penn balls, but it's not necessarily a drawback. If the rest of the case performs as the first three cans, I can certainly see myself being a repeat buyer.

Comments: Stiff, very little felt, fast. Gone in 45 minutes.
From: Vlad, 4/7/21
Comments: What happened Dunlop! Recent case of these seemed to have more cans open up on the flatter side. One new can I opened, went to bounce a ball to my wife, and it barely bounced at all. I just threw it out and tried another can, it was slightly better. Across more than two cases almost no issues, recent case seems of much lower quality overall, across almost all the cans. With the recent order being so bad I'm thinking of switching to either AO, US Open, or ProPenn to ensure a consistent product.

Comments: Love these balls for my academy! I disagree with the comments by Steve, Anderson, and Mark. These are not premium balls, they are extra duty, heavy, fast, and designed for advanced players 4.5 level or 8 or higher UTR, that pop two cans per match of one every 45 minutes. I use a new case each week for live ball play with the top juniors in my academy. After that they are transitioned to machine balls and last three to four months, good value. I typically have 1,500 balls for the intermediate junior players to practice with the machines because they need reps and these balls are consistent plus cost effective. After three to four months they are transitioned to beginner serving balls with the same intention, reps. Regular Duty balls lose 30% more speed after the bounce that Extra Duty balls. Comparing these to a premium, more expensive balls like Wilson US Open Extra Duty isn't fair because these cost 30% less. The key to making your balls last is store them in air tight and locking bins. I recommend rubbermaid containers because they won't crack, last forever, and really keep the humidity out, which zaps any ball. Storing balls in a hopper isn't ideal even in climate controlled areas. For my use they are far better than Penn Championship Extra Duty balls. I am a former ATP World Ranked player with 34 years experience playing and coaching world class juniors and pros.

Comments: Have been using these off and on and I find them to be great balls. Much more reliable and longer lasting than Penn Championships. In the two or so cases I've ordered I can only remember one can that felt heavy when new but I think would lighten up with some hitting. Overall I find these to be a higher quality and value than Penn Championship balls and would order them again. Just for comparison my favorite tennis balls are ProPenn, Dunlop AO, and US Open. In the current pandemic era of tennis, where balls are not used as much, these are a great price point that I feel less guilty using a few times and recycling.

Comments: I wanted to to try a new case of tennis balls for teaching high level junior other than Wilson US Open XD tennis balls. Seeing the reviews and the lower price point of these, I bought four cases. The first two lessons I had were fine, although they were a bit soft. However, after those first two lessons these balls were just absolutely dead. Like green dot tennis balls kind of dead. I was so disappointed in these that I sent the remaining three tennis ball cases back to TW. I could not use these for my lessons, it would be unprofessional. I am going back to Wilson US Open XD tennis balls. These are okay if you are playing a match, but do not use these for teaching competitive players in my opinion.
From: Mark, 8/6/20
Comments: These balls are way too hard and fast. They feel cheap and are not arm-friendly.
From: DK, 7/22/20
Comments: We bought six cases for our high school team this spring. Quite possibly the worst premium ball I have ever played. The felt on these balls is thin and mats down immediately, and as such they are noticeably smaller than other balls. There is virtually nothing for your strings to grab onto to generate any spin and they tend to fly. The bounce right out of the can is comfortable, but they feel soft and almost flat way sooner than other balls.
From: Steve, 7/17/20
Comments: These come in 3rd compared to Penn and Wilson Championship balls in my opinion.
From: Brad, 11/1/19
Comments: Bought these as an alternate to the expensive US Open Wilson's or ProPenn's, and disappointed. They hold pressure longer, but the felt and carcass is thin right out of the can. One set, and these are as thin as a one month old practice ball. They seem smaller in diameter than the better balls, less felt, and much harder to hit. You won't get much bite on these with less felt, and you'll feel the hardness through your arm and joints every time you hit one. I have half a case left, and they'll be used for practice or warm-up only. You get what you pay for. I'll buy ProPenn or US Open Wilsons from now on.
From: Anderson, 9/30/19
Comments: Very nice ball, consistent bounce and so far seem to be holding up well. I like these better than the ProPenn balls and Wilson US Open balls.
From: Kyle, 7/25/19
Comments: For basically $2.50 a can, these are really good tennis balls. I've logged a few games with two cans already and they are holding out quite well.
