Kenko Standard Training Balls – Blue

Kenko Standard TSSBL-V is the blue training soft tennis ball, the same model as the white Standard in a colour that is easy to see on court. In children's lessons a coloured ball is easier to follow while learning, and it makes the session more fun. It weighs 30–31 g and measures 66 mm across, the same as the tournament ball, so a child plays with the same ball as adults from the first lesson. PSTA events are played with the white ball; blue is for practice and learning. The ball is natural rubber with a valve. It holds pressure for a few weeks, then you top it up with the Kenko pump, which has a needle like a volleyball pump. Kenko recommends this pump for its valve balls. A correctly inflated ball dropped from 150 cm bounces to 70–80 cm. It comes as a 2-ball pack or a box of 12, where each ball works out cheaper. Supplied through the official Nagase Kenko distribution.
