DURA FAST 40Pickleballs | Outdoor Pickleball Balls | USAPA Approved and Sanctioned for Tournament Play

These are good for warm/hot days. Once it gets cooler, lower 40s to high 30s, these begin to crack and break. Other then that, they play great and would definitely recommend for outdoor play. Some people don't like using these compared to the Franklin because they are faster and spin more. I've played with people who refuse to use these balls.

Priced higher than most brands. Excellent for pickleball. However, they are not long lasting & break rather quickly & easily. Worth it to me.

I use these all the time now. They come with a very smooth surface which is fast. This surface goes away in about 2-3 games and takes on a rougher feel which I actually like. The rougher surface lasts a very long time as the balls don't really lose their bounce for a long time. I like the rougher surface as I feel it gives me more control of the ball flight with the racket (i.e., top spin). Though not sure, I think the initial smooth surface is for official tournament play where everyone starts at the same level. I think it's important to use these balls occasionally for this purpose, i.e., to not forget the "feel" present in tournament play. However, I keep these balls since I like the rougher feel, and frankly, the bounce stays for much longer than cheaper balls. Finally, I wouldn't recommend starting out with these. They are more expensive than other balls. Use the crappy, cheap balls for starting out. When you're able to start hitting consistently, then switch to these. They are great balls and last forever.

These balls will do, step up from most.They seem to bounce funny at times. Kind of like a wobble, but not enough when just rolled to check for wobble, if that makes sense. Crack often in colder weather and with higher level play. Color is nice and bright. Outdoor play. Kind of “poppy,” especially new balls.Good value bought here, compared to in store.Will not buy more now that we know Franklin’s are a better ball.

Great ball for the outdoor game. It's fast and hits hard when needed. I can get great spin with on this ball with either my J2K or Black Diamond.

These balls seem to be of good quality, and the shipping was very fast. I've heard that these crack easily, but I haven't had any problems after a couple of days of playing (in warm temperatures). We'll see how they do over the long run. My initial impression is good, though. By the way, this is a tough ball to play with at first. It's harder than most, it pops off the paddle more, and it flies a bit further. You have to adjust your style a bit to avoid over-hitting the ball. But, it's being used by most tournaments now, so we all have to get used to it.

Not sure how much i can say here but they are great balls.No issues, no cracking, they are stand up pickle balls.

Played with these balls in a tournament. Within 3-4 points they were starting to lose their shape. Before we could finish the first game the ball we started with had cracks in 3 different places. We replaced it with another Dura 40 and within another 3-4 points, it was also starting to warp. It was very frustrating. I do like the firmness of the ball and I also like the speed. These balls are way faster than franklins and aren’t as forgiving on bad shots. I played with a firm Selkirk ball recently and it seemed to have the same response off of the paddle as these balls, but held their shape. If you’re looking for a faster, former ball that is more in line with a tournament quality ball, try the Selkirks. Stay away from these. PS-this ball was used in an outdoor tournament and the temperature was around 60 degrees. I wouldn’t have expected these problems in those conditions.
