These are some of the cheapest balls, just one step above pressureless. I really would recommend buying premium or semi-premium balls if you like to hit hard. If you are a pusher-lobber, it doesn't make any difference, but if you hit with topspin and have a 85mph+ serve, do your body a favor and buy better balls. They may be some 50-100% more expensive, but unless you are going through 10 cans a week, the cost difference is negligible. Balls are among the smallest expenses anyway, unlike stringing and shoes. Besides, premium balls stay fresh a lot longer (years) so you can use them for practice.

As I read your post it became obvious to me that it's not a matter of pressure. 10 year old ball can't keep the pressure. But premium balls are made with softer, thicker, and more resilient rubber (maybe that's why they are so much more pleasure to hit). That part is a fact: look up "premium balls difference" or something. No wonder better rubber gives you better bounce, pressure or no pressure.
During Covid, since there was a shortage of tennis balls, I had to buy some other balls (in particular it was - Dunlop ATP Championship Extra duty). Obviously coming from Penn world, these balls so much different - 1st reaction was didn't like them. However, these Dunlop balls are simply amazing. For non-league play, they keep going on and on - so much bounce for even after 10 hour of hitting. They simply give you more playing time - which lets you compose your shots better, longer rallies - helping you increase your stamina. I still use the Penn for matches but I have switched to using the Dunlop when hitting - no contest - the Dunlop are simply better than Penn even after factoring in the higher cost per-can. Price wise they work better since I use them longer but the game play takes the cake.

TU for any tennis deals. However, this isn't a deal as another commenter stated. The Costco Penn balls are old and have crappy, inconsistent bounce. Often the quality is vastly different within a can. I will not buy these, period.
I will buy Penn Champ from Target and use for a doubles match. A few bucks and a lot better than old balls. I give em away when I'm done.
US Opens are really good. I like Dunlop Grand Prix but those are online only. Used to LOVE the Gamma balls but they stopped making anything but pressureless. ProPenns are like rocks. The Babolat RG balls were never my favorite on hard courts. I have a can of Technifibre that I need to test. Best pressureless balls (and for outdoor cold weather) are the Wilson Triniti balls - trust me, they are awesome when it is cold out, just a really good bounce if not a little hard.
