One of the ways that cost conscious tennis players have been saving money is by using practice tennis balls for playing tennis. Practice tennis balls are not only for practice, but If you are seriously interested in improving your tennis game, you know that it is extremely important to practice as much as possible. There is no getting away from that fact, unless you are naturally born with the talent of a Jimmy Connors or Chrisse Everett, and even they had to practice for hours on end.
Practice tennis balls are also known as pressureless tennis balls. When you purchase a new can of tennis balls, those balls are pressurized, (remember that popping sound as you pull off the lid) and the minute that you start to play with those balls, they start to lose their bounce because the air pressure inside them begins to leak out through the rubber. Although they start out really lively and bouncy, after the fuzz starts wearing off they begin to lose their bounce and become more of a dud tennis ball than a lively tennis ball.

Interestingly enough the opposite is true with pressureless tennis balls. The more that the pressureless tennis balls are used and played with, the livelier they start to become. They get lighter as the fuzz begins to wear off, and they become much more bouncy and lively. Bounce and spin improve with use. This is the complete opposite to the more expensive pressurized tennis balls, which once they become flat from losing their air, the only good thing about them is that they make great toys for your dog to go and fetch. As for using them in your next tennis match, you can forget about it.
There was a study done by Wilson which pegged the life expectancy of a regular pressurized tennis ball at not more than two weeks. Unless you have money to burn, or unless you expect to be playing at Wimbledon next year, there is no reason why you need to spend your hard earned money on tennis balls for your dog.
All of the major tennis ball manufacturers like Wilson, Penn and Gamma make practice tennis balls. The great thing about them is that you buy them in bulk, either in bags or in buckets and you will save a lot of money in the long run. The minor differences between the two will hardly be noticeable to you unless you are at a really highly competitive level. For most folks, you would never know the difference. Keep in mind also that practice tennis balls are right choice if you have a robotic tennis ball machine.
