What kind of ball to buy to start a child off in tennis?
For young children a lighter, slower ball, is recommended so they have fun as well as learning to hit the ball. The durable RED 75 was designed and developed for the LTA for just this purpose.
As they progress they change to a smaller ball,softer, lighter
than a regular ball and with a slow bounce, so they gain confidence and enjoy the learning. The Price mini orange was developed for this.
With increasing skill, confidence and strength, the next move is to an intermediate ball,.The same size and weight as a regular tennis ball, but softer and slower and a little lower in bounce.
The PRICE mini green was designed for this.
As they continue to develop skill and strength there comes a point when it is time for the move to regular balls. Of course children learn at different speeds.
The Red 75, sometimes called minitennis red. Designed,developed and patented by Price of Bath
