For those who were like me, new to the sport (which is many of you), I tried a few different ball brands. This ball is the most durable, solid, performing ball I have used. All the people around me seem to have gravitated to this same opinion which has swayed mine too. Yes, we have broken a few pickleballs in our play, but these hold up better than the rest of them and feel better than the rest of them, right down to the bounce and ball activity. Just feels like a better product than all the others we tried.If you are just getting into Pickleball and looking for some balls to use for outdoor use, I highly recommend these to be your top choice. Now that I give it such high praise, I wished Franklin would give me some balls to try out for free (wink wink). No, they don't sponsor me in the least. I bought and paid for the ones I am using.I'm glad to see they offer this ball in different colors. I wished they offers a multi color pack of some sort though. Depending on where you play, and depending on the people you are with, and depending on the lighting, the different colors matter for ball visibility. I say people you play with -- I have a couple friends who are partially color blind. Sometimes some colors of the balls blend in with the court and you can't see them. Which is why I bought the pink ones. It seems to clash best with the courts I play on and is very visible. Color matters for sure.
