Velocity Premium Pickleballs - USAPA-Certified | 40-Hole Design for Ultimate Outdoor Performance | Official Size & Weight

Update: The more I use this ball, the more I think it’s fine. The other balls in the pack don’t have a bad seam, bounce well and have cone off the paddle face consistently. Just like any ball, they just need to be broken-in. The yellow is a little hard to see sometimes. Upgraded it to 4 stars from 3 stars.Original review: Wanted to try a bunch of different balls from various companies. My baseline ball is the Franklin X-40. The durability for the Velocity ball is on par. 5 singles games to 7 and the wear is about equal to the amount of wear on the Franklin, no cracks of any sort, just standard scuffing. It seems to bounce a tiny bit less than the Franklin. The level of bounce did stay the same throughout the games. Color is nice, very visible against a blue court with blue wind breaks on the fences. Why only 3 stars? The seam. Yes, it’s supposed to be seamless, but the first ball I grabbed had a noticeable seam. It was pronounced enough I can run my fingernail across it and can feel the height difference. And strangely, the height difference wasn’t even along the full diameter of the ball, the bad seam was maybe 3-3.5” long and then went away. Really strange. My buddy also noticed it and thought it was causing some weird bounces. I’ll be just using these balls for playing with just my close friends who don’t care. I’ll switch back to the Franklins for pick-up games with strangers and serious play.

Great on the court - and the color is striking. Exactly as pictured…and exactly what I wanted!

We use these on our indoor, painted, smooth cement floor court. After one season of 9 teams playing 3 game sets for a 6 week league we had several 3-4 balls fail with cracks in them. All of the balls have a nice gloss to them from the factory, but within the first game or two they take on quite a bit of texture which will change the behavior of the ball both off the paddle as well as the pavement. Good weight. Nice pop (unless they crack). Slick out of the box, so hard to put any "junk" on it as they skid off the paddle and playing surface, but once you get a few games on them you can really impart a good amount of spin with almost any paddle.

Have played with these for a few weeks. We had some cold weather and all three balls broke after playing one game with them.

All as expected. Timely delivery.

Just used these to play. They don't seem to have much bounce. The other 3 people I played with also didn't like them. Would not recommend purchasing

LOVE these outdoor pickle balls. SO much easier to see on the fall courts. Leaf piles on side of courts made it really difficult to find the traditional colored balls. These pink balls are a game changer. For those who play outdoors in the fall and have the changing leaves to compete with, I highly recommend these.

Reason for buying these pickleballs was the color, most balls are either yellow or a darker shade of green. No one can mistake these are my balls. Thinking about getting the pink ones next.

They are fine but hard to see at dusk. Go for white !!
