Are Expensive Balls Worth It? 5$ vs 13$ Tennis Balls
Спорт
Does it make sense to pay more for higher-quality balls? We did a blind test of balls of 3 different price points to figure out whether or not we can really see the difference. The results weren't that obvious ;)

The Wilson Triniti actually gets "better" over time. Upon opening them, they feel a bit heavy, but after maybe one or two sets it feels really good and lasts for a very long time.

The triniti actually have different batches and not all batches are well made. I’ve sold some which came completely soft and compressible out from the box. Do look out underneath the cap for the batch number. I’ve played with triniti and these ball lasted almost 50hours worth of play time

Interesting! It's definitely not the best when the quality of the balls differs from can to can. If some last long and others come soft from the start, it's hard to rely.
Guys, the Triniti balls are "pressure less" (two word term they use as it has pressure, but less than one which requires a sealed tube). Suited for ball machines and coaches as they can sit unused for months and not degrade (like the other 2 will once unsealed). They also sound different when you hit a pressure less ball so it should be obvious which one is Wilson. Important that people buying these balls should know that!

Well, as you might've noticed, some of us can tell the difference while others can't 😉😏. To me (Grisha) the Triniti and the Tecnifibre felt very similar out of the box and that feeling wasn't good. I wouldn't really care how long the ball lasts if the feeling is bad. You are right though for coaches and baskets this one could do.

@@gladiatorstribe Yeah, personally I use Head Tour balls for matches. But have the triniti balls for long use practice, they're definitely not as good as the Head balls but still playable after 6 months lying around in a bag. Whilst most pressurised balls would be straight up unusable after this time out of the cannister. Anyways, keep up the good work, love your channel!

Hilarious, guys. Really entertaining. But I think the point is made. Most of us are not #ballsensitive enough to tell the difference. I'll stick to the lower priced softer balls which will hopefully give me longer rallies. Thanks guys!

Hi guys~ love your channel. Which racquet grips size do you guys use? how to measure advise please?
@gladiatorstribe
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot!! The general rule is to grab the racket with a continental grip, the distance between your fingers and palm has to be enough for an index finger to fit in between. That can be the starting point but it's all about preference. The thinner the grip, the more feel you'll get but if it's too thin your fingers, elbows and forearm might start hurting. My advice would be to try different grip sizes and see what works best. I (Grisha) use a grip 4 with an overgrip Areg uses grip 2 with an overgrip Al uses a grip 3 takes off the grip and puts 3 overgrips (that's really weird tho 😂)

Superbe vidéo ! Je pense que la triniti Wilson est conçu pour durée plus longtemps " Le cœur a été retravaillé avec un matériau moins poreux et plus léger que le caoutchouc ".

If you're a beginner - intermediate player there's no need to buy top of the range balls. If you're an intermediate - advanced player then, spending more on balls is a good idea. Especially if you can get them for cheaper 😂. I (Grisha) prefer the feel of the Dunlop balls for sure.
