Navona 12 Pack Premium 40-Holes Green Outdoor Pickleball Balls, Meet USAPA Official Requirement, Perfectly Balanced, High Bounce True Flight, Durable Outdoor Pickleball Set

These are great balls for practice! They are not a single molded ball, as they do have a seam. For the price of 24 practice balls, there are plenty of them to play with if a seam breaks loose. I am not a tournament player, I only play for fun and exercise. We only got a pickleball court in the small city where I live this summer. I am happy to have these pickleballs to share and learn pickleball with.

These are not USAP approved balls, nor do they claim to be. They meet the requirements, but haven't been tested and approved by USAP. What that means is that they can't be used in tournaments and competitive play.But since they likely function like a USAPA ball, they would be good for practice and social/recreational play.I ordered this for practice and drills. Even though the seam is more prominent than other balls that I have, it doesn't seem to affect functionality. It meets my needs.

I went to open play pick up pickle at an outdoor court the other day, and a seasoned player said this ball was not an outdoor pickleball. He said it's a hybrid. He then grabbed his own ball to play with instead. I used it outdoors with my regular group of friends and it seemed fine enough for us.

This was my first venture into the pickleball world after playing tennis for over 30.I selected these balls somewhat randomly, but this product checked off all the marks for me.They meet the USAPA requirements, and they are made for outdoors. After getting used to the new game, these balls did not disappoint. I was pleased with the way I was able to control them. I also tried balls my friends brought to the court, who have been in the game for a while now and I did not notice any significant difference in how this ball was compared to theirs.These balls are well priced and hold to the court abuse well.

This 12 pack pickle balls while they have some great features, I was left feeling a bit underwhelmed overall. On the positive side, these balls meet USAPA official requirements, and they do perform well in terms of bounce and flight stability. They provide a good balance and are fun to play with, making them suitable for casual games and practice sessions.However, I did encounter a few quality issues. After just a couple of outdoor games, some of the balls began to show signs of wear, including scuff marks and slight deformation. While I appreciate the high bounce and true flight they offer, I expected a bit more durability given their price point. For avid players who frequently play outdoors, this may be a concern, as these balls might not last as long as others I’ve used in the past.Another downside is that while the color is bright and visible, the yellow can fade slightly after extended use in the sun. This has made it a bit harder to track them during longer games. I was hoping for a product that could withstand outdoor play without losing its vibrant appearance.Overall, these balls are decent for recreational use, but I wouldn’t recommend them for serious players looking for longevity. They perform well, but the quality issues prevent me from giving them a higher rating. They could benefit from improvements in durability to make them a more reliable choice for frequent use.

I have to preface by saying I'm a beginner looking to take up the sport of pickleball. These are the first pickleballs I've ordered. In comparing these pickleballs to the ones that came with my paddle set, these Navona ones seem very good. They're slightly more bouncy then the ones I have. They're firm also, if I press with my fingers, they don't give while the ones that came with my set give a bit when I press it.Overall, they're well priced and great for someone like me that is just starting out.UPDATE:So after playing a few times in an outdoor court and trying the balls my friends had, I really like these balls. They have a good weight to them. It makes a big difference when it's windy out, as it has been lately. Some of the balls my friends brought felt lighter, so hitting it against the wind was a challenge and they also didn't feel as good when I hit them. These Navona balls are good and it feels good when it makes contact with the paddle.

The Navona outdoor pickle balls each has 40 holes for outdoor use and is colored neon green. They are easy to see during play and have reliable bounces. Each ball is marked with the logo “Navona” which is useful in identifying the ball as yours when the play is over.The packaging speaks of an inexpensive rather than a premium product. I would not say these balls are giftable. Unless you are a 4.5+ player, you will not know you are playing with an inexpensive ball.Overall, these pickle balls are a good value. Top rating

The balls seem durable enough. They have a consistent bounce and have good visibility. I like the matte finish because they tend to grip hard surfaces better than glossy balls, not skidding as much. I don't like the visible seam. The seams are slightly raised and very easy to see. Overall quality is good, and considering the low cost, these balls are a great deal.
