Are Expensive Balls Worth It? 5$ vs 13$ Tennis Balls

- Does it make sense to pay more for higher-quality balls? We did a blind test of balls of 3 different price points to figure out whether or not we can really see the difference. The results weren't that obvious ;)

The Wilson Triniti actually gets "better" over time. Upon opening them, they feel a bit heavy, but after maybe one or two sets it feels really good and lasts for a very long time.
Interesting, didn't last us that long. We've played with them for about 3 hours before they completely popped.
Yes! And trinity stay in condition very long time! BEst balls fo re training
That's so weird, because they didn't last us at all! If it works for you though, that's perfect!
no they are trash
@@gladiatorstribe I think It is different for amateur players. We do not hit the ball that hard.
Love the content guys haha. Really different from the usual tennis stuff here on youtube. And I watch alot of tennis on youtube haha
Thanks a lot, really appreciate! That's exactly what we're amimg for. Different and entertaining tennis content. Great to know that we're accomplishing it from someone who know a lot about UA-cam tennis!
Amazing content guys!!! Love how you make tennis interesting
Huge thanks!!
You guys are very entertaining and the editing of these videos are great lol
Thanks!! Means a lot to us 🥳
Definitely harder than I thought it would be! Which ball did each of you prefer in the end?
Well I (Grisha) didn't like any 😂😂 but Triniti and Tecnifibre were just horrible, so Dunlop for me. Al liked the Triniti somehow and Areg didn't like any 😂
I have tried all brands and alll of them are very bad, 1doz,2doz,3doz, witch are the best?
7:44 and that line judge at the US Open almost died when Djokovic hit her with a marshmallow.
Luckily I didn't get disqualified after that shot 😂
Very entertaining video. Keep going!
Huge thanks!!
hahaha the second guy actually confused the first and the second ball.
you hear him talking about how the ball is soft like children's ball when his trying the second one.😂
Great video, lads. I always wondered whether it's better to spend more on tennis balls.
Thanks a lot! Hopefully now you know 😂😂
Nice movement Grisha at around 2:36!
Hahaha thanks 😂😂
The triniti actually have different batches and not all batches are well made. I’ve sold some which came completely soft and compressible out from the box. Do look out underneath the cap for the batch number. I’ve played with triniti and these ball lasted almost 50hours worth of play time
Interesting! It's definitely not the best when the quality of the balls differs from can to can. If some last long and others come soft from the start, it's hard to rely.
Guys, the Triniti balls are "pressure less" (two word term they use as it has pressure, but less than one which requires a sealed tube). Suited for ball machines and coaches as they can sit unused for months and not degrade (like the other 2 will once unsealed). They also sound different when you hit a pressure less ball so it should be obvious which one is Wilson.
Important that people buying these balls should know that!
Well, as you might've noticed, some of us can tell the difference while others can't 😉😏. To me (Grisha) the Triniti and the Tecnifibre felt very similar out of the box and that feeling wasn't good. I wouldn't really care how long the ball lasts if the feeling is bad. You are right though for coaches and baskets this one could do.
@@gladiatorstribe Yeah, personally I use Head Tour balls for matches. But have the triniti balls for long use practice, they're definitely not as good as the Head balls but still playable after 6 months lying around in a bag. Whilst most pressurised balls would be straight up unusable after this time out of the cannister. Anyways, keep up the good work, love your channel!
@@Boonaldo25 Thats pretty useful if the quality feels alright to you! Thank you very much!
Hi guys~ love your channel. Which racquet grips size do you guys use? how to measure advise please?
Thanks a lot!! The general rule is to grab the racket with a continental grip, the distance between your fingers and palm has to be enough for an index finger to fit in between. That can be the starting point but it's all about preference. The thinner the grip, the more feel you'll get but if it's too thin your fingers, elbows and forearm might start hurting. My advice would be to try different grip sizes and see what works best.
I (Grisha) use a grip 4 with an overgrip
Areg uses grip 2 with an overgrip
Al uses a grip 3 takes off the grip and puts 3 overgrips (that's really weird tho 😂)
@@gladiatorstribe thank you!!:) I use 2 with overgrip. Just wondering what will size 3 will be like... hmm
To approximately understand how it would feel, try putting an extra grip or two. See how it feels.
@@gladiatorstribe yes. Thank you!!! Love your channel!!! Lets go 1mil subs :)
Huge thanks for the support!! Looking forward to that 🤭
Your content is fantastic!
Thank you so much!! Means a lot to us!!
😂this was the first video I spotted you all .. Grisha )) magic
Hahaha awesome!! 😂😂 Thank you!
Superbe vidéo ! Je pense que la triniti Wilson est conçu pour durée plus longtemps " Le cœur a été retravaillé avec un matériau moins poreux et plus léger que le caoutchouc ". Vous utilisez quelle balle en général ? Je trouve les "Dunlop fort " pas mal ainsi que les "Wilson us open" Continuez vos vidéo elles sont top !!!!!
Hé, désolé d'avoir mis si longtemps à répondre. Honnêtement, je n'aimais pas du tout le ballon triniti. Ils ne nous ont pas duré aussi longtemps non plus. Nous jouons généralement avec Dunlop ATP et Dunlop Fort. Un grand merci !!
Nice video. Keep it up 🔥
Huge thanks!! Will do 😉
Hilarious, guys. Really entertaining. But I think the point is made. Most of us are not #ballsensitive enough to tell the difference. I'll stick to the lower priced softer balls which will hopefully give me longer rallies. Thanks guys!
That's a very fair argument! No need to overpay if you don't notice much difference. Thanks a lot for the comment!!
Try head tour balls in the gold case. They're the best ones I've used so far. Great channel!
Hey! We play with the Head Tours quite often and although the feeling of the balls is great, the durability is horrible.
@@gladiatorstribe guessing you tried the wilson US open ones as well? They last a bit longer. You guys hit hard, maybe you need something like head radical balls that comes in orange tube that still bounce after several beatings
@@edc3037 We've tried pretty much all of the balls out here and for now we've settled on the Dunlop Fort in terms of feel and durability.
@@gladiatorstribe great video guys! Which Dunlop Fort balls do u all like the most? I have the Dunlop Fort Elite and Dunlop Fort All Court over here in my country :)
@@chanjingli Thank you very much! The All Court are the overall best balls in our opinion!
Wish you included Slazengers. I love Slazengers and Dunlop have a similar one.
Long time since I've played with a Slazenger ball. I remember to like it.
Love the content, just sometimes its very hard to hear you guys well specially with the background music.
Thanks for the feedback! Yep we had some audio issues on this one. We've fixed them though. Now everything should be fine 😉
Great video and now I know how to not waste money 😅
Haha, great entertainment, guys! It’s not that easy to tell ball quality when brand new. However, play for an hour and the better balls preserve their performance much better.
Thanks!! You're right it's way easier to tell the difference once the balls are played in a little bit.
Great review at all time
Huge thanks! We really appreciate it!
So what ball do you guys recommend?
If you're a beginner - intermediate player there's no need to buy top of the range balls. If you're an intermediate - advanced player then, spending more on balls is a good idea. Especially if you can get them for cheaper 😂. I (Grisha) prefer the feel of the Dunlop balls for sure.
I think the spray paint could have an effect on the balls as well
It could but we tried to put the thinnest possible layer to make sure it doesn't affect it too much.
👍 boys. Areg hits an ace ‘must be the Dunlop’. Grisha complains to chair umpire ‘something wrong with these balls 🎾 I’m #ballsensitive. Alvaro the most beautiful English gentleman in pink shorts ha ha.
😂😂 that made us laugh and yes, definitely the most beautiful English gentleman 😂😂
You guys play really well.
Thanks a lot!!
I tried Wilson Triniti. Awful, awful balls. Very rubbery feeling like you were hitting with rubber pellets rather than a tennis ball.
Yep, I (Grisha) definitely agree, people say that they last a long time. Wasn't exactly true for us.
love the topic but the whole video was very difficult to listen to, CC didn't catch all the words neither.
Thanks for sharing full support
Huge thanks really appreciate your supoort!!
$5 is alot. Walmart sells wilson and Penn for $2.17 a can. Which is what they are worth
Wish all the balls were 2$ 😂😂 Imagine 13$ per can 😳
Do y'all sell Merch? I'd buy those shirts. 1) They 🔥 2) And of course I wanna support the channel
Massive thanks, we really appreciate it. We're working on releasing our first merch. We want them to not just look good but also be really high quality, so it's taking us some time. We'll definitely let you know once we do make it happen!!
@@gladiatorstribe Nice! Looking forward to it
😉🎾
Not so much a blind test as the blonde guy was sure in the begging of the third ball that is was Dunlop but someone seams to tell him that it wasn’t and he changed his opinion fast. Got on camera by the way.
😂😂😂
And I thought 6 usd for a can of Wilson us open was expensive, 13 euro for a can??
I can't believe you guys have me questioning my balls!!! Now I don't know which ones to play with!! 😳
Oh noo 😳 We didn't mean to make you question your balls 😂
@@gladiatorstribe 😅
So, what is your fav tennis ball?
I (Grisha) would go with the Dunlop out of these 3. Although 13 euros is a lot for a can of balls. The thing is that the other two in my opinion we're uncontrollable and unstable. Al however actually preferred the Triniti. Don't listen to Al tho 😂😂
@@gladiatorstribe We use to play with Dunlop Fort Tournament. We tried the Trinity last week and have put it away within a second, litarally...
Nice Idea
Thanks!
I thought penn was the official atp ball
They keep switching, Head used to be at some point too.
Head/Penn (Which are the same thing) was until 2019, when Dunlop became the official ball. Although the Penn’s were never actually used at the slams.
13:25 We need to see the commentator. She has a sexy voice!
😂😂😂
love it
Huge thanks!!
@@gladiatorstribe love all your content! Please keep it up. UA-cam has a tennis content hole that needs fillling! 🕳️
We really appreciate it!! Trying our best to fill that hole up 😂😂🎾
