   I purchased these balls several months ago, as well as a half dozen Franklin Xs and the 9-pack of TICCI Outdoor balls. While the complaint about the seam if valid, I can honestly say it is immaterial. While it is visible and each to detect by touch, I have seen no evidence of a bad bounce on the court surface, off the face of the paddle or against a practice wall. I have tried to create a mis-bounce and have not been able to. Thus, they are perfect for practice, much like using old balls for most sports practice (imperfect but sufficient), or range balls for practicing a golf swing.What is MORE upsetting is that apparently, more than one user states they confirmed the balls are NOT USAPA approved. And yet, Amazon continues to allow the vendor to make that claim. The lack of quality control on Amazon’s part is becoming epically egregious with regard to sizes, measurements and is only tolerable because of their liberal return policy. But something as simple as denying vendors to make blatantly false claims? Should be a no-brainer for any reputtable company and I find that most disappointing.

   The TOURNA Strike Outdoor Pickleballs (12 Pack) have been a game-changer for our pickleball matches. After losing a few balls, we decided to give these a try, and they exceeded our expectations. The optic yellow color makes them highly visible on the court, and the overall quality is impressive.These balls are USAPA approved, and their performance reflects that. They provide a consistent bounce and responsiveness, making for a more enjoyable and competitive game. The 12-pack ensures that we have plenty of spares on hand, so we can keep the game going without interruption.If you’re in need of reliable and USAPA-approved pickleballs, the TOURNA Strike Outdoor Pickleballs are an excellent choice.

   I bought these balls for drilling and practice since they are much cheaper than all other balls (only $1.08 at the time I bought them). I was tired of hitting a few balls and then having to go get them. They come in a mesh bag which seems less wasteful that plastic blister packaging or plastic boxes, it’s also useful for carrying the balls. The balls have a very pronounced seam where the two halves are joined together. All 12 of mine were smooth at the seam so as long as they don’t crack along the seam I don’t see any issue with it.As far as I can tell the bounce is almost identical to a Franklin X-40 which isn’t surprising since they both meet the USAPA requirements for tournament play.The biggest drawback to these are that they are almost universally hated automatically everywhere I go without even being played with. Seriously, no one even wants to try them, it’s ridiculous. This doesn’t matter much to me since I bought them as practice balls but it does seem a bit silly in my opinion.

   Brand new to pickleball and had no idea what to buy. This set has just what a beginner needs to feel confident to start and be well-equipped, but not worry about accidentally breaking expensive equipment. Still a beginner but confident in holding my own with a partner or singles.
