Hard court tennis balls use a reinforced extra-duty felt that maintains its integrity longer on abrasive asphalt and concrete surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly do tennis balls lose pressure on hard courts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn hard courts, pressurised balls typically lose noticeable bounce after 2 4 hours of play due to the combination of pressure loss and felt wear. Competitive players often change balls every 7 9 games to ensure consistent performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre hard court balls heavier than regular balls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard court balls are not significantly heavier, but their extra-duty felt makes them feel slightly firmer and more durable.
