What to know
Slazenger's hard-court counterpart to the grass-oriented Wimbledon ball — same Tour Core and Hydroguard/Ultra Vis treatments but with a tougher woven cloth for abrasive courts. A long-time staple of Australian club tennis rather than a US/EU mainstream ball.
- Holds up well — fewer cans over a season
- Lively off the strings
- Stays playable for about 2 weeks before it goes flat
When to open a fresh can
About every 2 weeks of regular play, if you want consistent bounce — this ball's pressure fades gradually like any pressurized ball.
