Wilson US Open Tennis Balls Review: Pick the felt for the court you play on
Our Wilson US Open tennis ball review explains regular- and extra-duty variants, pressurized packaging and how to choose a practice supply.
Wilson’s US Open line is a useful choice for players who want to match their ball to the surface. The line includes regular-duty and extra-duty versions. The cover photo shows a Wilson US Open ball. Confirm the felt designation from the can you buy.
Match the can to your court
Wilson positions extra-duty options for hard courts and regular-duty options for clay or indoor play. Use the court or event recommendation if there is one. The product family name alone cannot tell you whether you have the right felt.
Plan how many cans to open
Pressurized balls change as they are used and after the can is opened. A player who practices occasionally may prefer several sealed cans over opening a large supply at once. League organizers should check the event’s rules. The line makes the most sense when the variant and package size match the amount and kind of play.
