Best indoor ball there is!

Always had trouble picking up the ball in fast exchanges at the net indoors... until I got these lava beauties! Played with them the first time today with a group of over 30 people. Used them in all my games and everybody loved them. Other courts were begging to use one of the 3 I brought after they played with them.
They difference is visibility is substantial for me, and I pretty much already know I won't be playing with anything else from now on.
The bounce seemed very even and the ball didn't seem overly soft at all. Much better than the club balls that we normally use, which admittedly are probably worn out.
Each ball probably got about 10 games played with it today and they all still look and feel like new. I don't expect durability to be an issue, but it has only been one day, so time will tell. Oh, and just for info, I am a 4.0 player and have been known to bang a bit.
Anyway, can't recommend enough and I think I just sold I bunch of balls for Penn. They should give me some freebies! ;-)

As most indoor gym floors are a light color, this Lava Red really shows up well ! The players in our public facility gym love the contrast and I encourage them to buy their own balls as I put these back in my pocket after the game is over! I buy them , I use them and then return them to safe place - I would like to try a white indoor ball but haven’t found a source?

The Penn red lava pickleballs are great. They are much better to see indoors and are lasting longer than any balls we've used.
