Ball equipment guide
Consistent bounce.
Context matters.
Indoor and outdoor labels are a starting point. Polymer, molding, wall consistency, hole geometry, temperature and court surface affect how a ball behaves.
Observable checks
Dimensions, weight, bounce, roundness, straightness, seam or gate condition and cracking can be evaluated with defined methods.
Rules and approval
Equipment requirements can change. Verify current tournament use against the relevant governing body rather than a retailer description.
