AMA Sport X-ACE Pickleballs - 40 Hole Outdoor Pickleball Balls- Crack-Resistant ONE Piece Balls - 100% POP for Immediate Feedback - Quick Start Tech and Advanced Performance

Balls are great. They bounce really good and feel very responsive. Definitely better than the yellow x40.

Goood

Bounces great and is very durable. Holds spikes really good with no cracking so far. They are bright and colorful with durability to match the looks.

The box is just for shipping. Players use bags, or different style containers to carry balls. There is no need to use a plastic box.

I’ve used it for few days. So far so good. Seems good quality, especially for its price.

I’ve purchased these before and they were great; however, this time around every ball has a crease that is visible and raised, split down the half of each ball. So it’s certainly not single mold construction and will not play properly. Returned!

I won't be posting additional photos as so many users have already done a great job in showing all the details of these USAPA approved outdoor pickleballs. That said, having used various balls including the so-called gold standard being the Franklin X40s, these balls by Pickletech perform exceptionally well. They have a very similar bounce as well as speed but most importantly for me and fellow players, these are so much more crack resistant than the Franklins. Having also used during the past winter, none had cracked while playing in 40- and 50-degree temps, whereas the Franklins would have more than likely cracked within an hour of playing. One the con side though is that since these are more crack resistant, it also means the plastic materials used tend to be softer and have noticed some balls eventually becoming out of round and more frequently during hot summer months that they may affect overall performance or even cause the ball to wobble when hit hard. That said, I still prefer these balls over the Franklins as they do overall last much longer without breaking and has performed extremely well.

Unfortunately all three balls cracked. It was cold outside (40 degrees ) and the balls did not survive. The description never said they would not last cold conditions. Lasted twelve games instead of the year guarantee.
