Frequently Asked Questions
What age group are Stage 3 green tennis balls for?
Stage 3 green tennis balls are designed for junior players aged approximately 9 12 who are transitioning to the full-size court. They travel at around 75 80% of a standard ball's speed, helping players adapt to full court dimensions with more time on the ball.
How are green balls different from standard yellow balls?
Green stage balls have slightly lower compression than standard yellow balls, producing a slower and lower bounce. This gives developing players more time to move, set up, and strike the ball cleanly building confidence before transitioning to full-pressure balls.
When should a junior move from green to standard yellow balls?
Most juniors transition to standard yellow balls around age 11 12, or when they can consistently handle rallies on a full-size court. A tennis coach can assess readiness and guide the transition at the right stage of development.
