CORE Pickleball Balls for Professionals and All Levels of Play - Set of 4-50 Balls with 40 Holes - Durable & Seamless Design - Premium Outdoor Pickleball Balls, Polypropylene - USA Pickleball Approved

They last longer than the x-40 but people don't want to use them at my court cause they are used to playing with the x-40 slower play and softerness to the ball. I prefer playing with x-40 too but I crack them within 10 games max and these core balls are hard to crack with 20 games. Realistically they last me about 3x as long. I didn't believe the 5x but I think 3x is still worth 5 stars cause the playability is also nice just different than the x-40s

I am not a seasoned pickleball player so my review should not carry the same weight as someone who plays all the time.I purchased the core pickleball balls and they came right away. The bag was easy to open. I like the neon yellow color. The coloring makes the balls easy to see on the court. The balls have good bounce and haven't cracked yet. I've pressed them in with my fingers and they don't indent or falter. I've hit the balls around with the paddle and they seem to hold up. The balls have a nice bounce and are, in fact, very speedy in returning. I haven't used other brands, but this particular brand seems to have a solid product and is valid in its claims. I don't have any reason to believe otherwise.

The media could not be loaded. I very much like this Core pickleball, especially when compared to Franklins. We also know that Durafast crack very easily. Franklins will play slower, but they lose their color after a few games. I have got over 20 games out of one Core ball, and that’s at level 4+, so many do not take it easy.The one thing I noticed on the last batch, last year, is during cold days in the winter, there was a wobble. I don’t notice any wobble this summer, so for above 60 degree play, it’s a nice ball to have.As I mentioned, it plays in between a Durafast and a Franklin, but the color last much longer.I feel that you should give them a shot and try them out. I also think it’ll get deflated before you find a crack, so the longevity is excellent.I hope this helps.

I've been searching for the best cold weather ball; we play in temperatures between 30-40 degrees Fahrenheit. What makes the best cold weather ball? Balls that can take punishment while cold and pop similar to the X-40 in ideal conditions. The two best balls I've found thus far are the PCKL Elite 40 and the Selkirk Pro S1. These balls can take some serious punishment prior to breaking. The drawback against these two choices are the lack of pop; they're not as poppy as I had hoped. The Core product is certainly poppy however they break easier than the two products mentioned above. This is a solid cold weather ball if you're playing in temps between 40-50 degrees.

These balls are fast and wind-resistant. I have not used them in the cold where they are said to be more fragile.These are substantially faster than Franklin x-40 and people who use x-40 will hate you for using this ball because they won't be able to handle this ball's speed and they'll also hit it long. After using this ball, x-40 feels like slow motion and if someone insists on using one of those, it will take you a few shots to re-calibrate.I tried two Gearbox GB1 at around 80 degrees and they got soft. They started a little fast but after a total of 3 hours both balls moved like slow x-40's; I've returned the other 10 unused. One guy who plays with us said the GB1 felt like he was hitting a rock. I'm passing on the Selkirk as the reviews don't seem that flattering.Try the Core if you're 4.5 and up (or want to be).

Out of the box, these balls were great! They had a great and consistent bounce, nice pop coming off the paddle, and were really fun to play with. Unfortunately, after just a few games of play, it was like the life had been sucked out of them. They still weren't bad balls...you can still play with them...but they just don't feel special anymore.Brand new, these balls are among the hardest that I have tested and using a durometer I found them to be harder than either a Dura Fast 40 or a Selkirk Pro S1...two balls known for being made of hard material. Out of the box (or bag) these balls are also very lively, and from a dead drop, the Core balls had one of the highest bounces of any ball I have tried thus far. These factors alone had me excited about this ball, as it seemed like it might be a great, and less expensive, option for those times when I want to play a faster game.And at first, that theory held up. They played super fast. Serves were quicker. Drives were faster. Hand battles at the net were ridiculous! And then...almost out of nowhere...they just weren't. Over the course of an afternoon we went through three Core balls, and had pretty much the same experience with each. Fun for about a game and a half...and then the life just zaps out of them.None of them cracked. None of them were badly warped. None of them were beat up beyond the point of playability...they just weren't the same balls we started with.For the sake of comparison, when we started these really did feel a lot like playing with a Selkirk ball...which is one of my favorites...but by the end of game 2, their play was much closer to a broken in Franklin. Still not a bad ball...and you can certainly have plenty of fun with a Franklin, but it's just going to be a slightly different game.Ultimately, that's the biggest knock I have on these balls. The break in curve is fast and steep, and when it comes down to it...there are plenty of options for consistently fast balls and plenty of options for consistently slower balls, so I am not sure why I would want to play with one that radically shifts from one to the other.

Easy to see at night!

Really like these balls. Slightly harder than Franklin X-40s, not as hard as Duras. Doesn't get lumpy like Duras. And doesn't crack quickly at all.

Pour moi très bonne j ai hâte de les essayer à l extérieure

I do like the product. We do use outdoor and Indoor.

Like the feel of the balls. However, when I tried to weigh one of the ball, it shows 25 grams instead of the specified ball weight of 26 grams.Started playing with 2 new balls. On my third day, one of the balls cracked.In the advertisement, it indicates that it is “40 Holes Outdoor Pickleball balls - Indoor Pickleballs USA Pickleball Approved” - is it approved for both outdoor and indoor competitions?
