In tennis, i used to think in the past that there was just a single color ball which is the usual yellow ball that everyone hits. In fact, there is a few coloured balls which are the red , orange, green and of course yellow.

The difference are mainly the size and bounce of the ball. Beginning from red, it is bigger then the rest and slower in speed when hit, and progressively increases in speed from orange to green and to yellow. The size of orange , green and yellow are about the same. The compression of the ball are different and so the bounce varies.

Hence, different people who has a different pick up on tennis , the pace of their game should pick the ball that is suited to their pace initially and work from there.

You can find these balls mainly at sports shops such as queensway shopping centre, sports shops in malls or even on carousell ( phone application ) I get mine from leisure sports at Far East shopping centre.

If you’re having difficulty sustaining your rallies, i would suggest starting with orange balls to rally as they are more manageable to track the ball and slower pace for you to prepare your set up for the shots. Of course satisfaction from the punch when hitting the ball is not as satisfying then the normal ball but do not forget its a build up towards your game of rally which would prove useful in time to come.
