What to know
The Australian Open's official ball since 2019 plays a touch heavier and firmer than the ATP Tour ball, with a durable woven nap that resists fuzzing in practice baskets. Reviewers repeatedly note it holds bounce longer than most premium balls, at the cost of a slightly boardy, lower-bouncing feel for some.
- Holds up well — fewer cans over a season
- Lively off the strings
- Takes spin well
- Stays playable for about 3 weeks before it goes flat
When to open a fresh can
About every 3 weeks of regular play, if you want consistent bounce — this ball's pressure fades gradually like any pressurized ball.
