I'm using these for a while. But they crack after few games.

Are the red ones worse quality than the green ones? I do have a set of the red x-40s but I haven't used them yet. I did notice that they have a seam where the green x-40s do not. But I wasn't sure if that was a big deal or not

Bought 4 sets. Don't care about the color … green breaks the same as any other color

They play the same. But people prefer the neon green ones, to the point where they'll ask you to put your orange ball away lol.

I second this. It's impressive/comical how many folks claim they can't see the orange balls and therefore blame their bad play on them. lol

These are Chinese Alibaba balls, don't fall for the marketing. Same thing as any other pickle ball. Navona has the same exact balls for the same price without a sale

Actually no. There is a difference in quality, hole size, durability.

I run into a lot of people that will only play with the yellow balls. it's pretty absurd. I mostly use the red ones to distinguish mine from other people's in addition to the fact that my eyes actually work and I blame my poor performance on my lack of skill.

it's not actually a seam The balls are solid molded. what you are seeing is the mold release which is present on all colors of the balls but may show up more in one batch versus another.

I'm guessing that these are made in China. Here are some made in the USA in my hometown. Sure, they are going to cost more. https://a.co/d/hIbj2TQ

Honest question. Besides being made in the good 'ole US of A, what's good about these? I have never heard of this brand. Franklin is the preferred brand for most amateur and pro players.


Vulcan is the official ball used by PPA and MLP, I believe.
