Beach Tennis Balls – Wholesale Supply Specifications
Beach tennis balls must retain consistent bounce and durability when exposed to sand, salt, and intense UV radiation. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) specifies a diameter range of 6.35 mm to 6.67 mm and a weight between 56.0 g and 59.4 g for official play, values that directly influence game fairness and player safety.
Core construction typically uses a natural rubber compound molded to a precise internal pressure, providing the required rebound characteristics. Non‑pressurized cores are also available for training environments where lower bounce extends rally length and reduces wear on court surfaces.
The outer felt covering is a blend of wool and synthetic fibers, engineered to resist abrasion from sand grains while maintaining a uniform surface texture. This composition limits fuzz loss after repeated impacts, preserving aerodynamic stability during high‑speed serves.
- Diameter: 6.35 mm – 6.67 mm (ITF compliant)
- Weight: 56.0 g – 59.4 g
- Rebound height: 135 cm – 147 cm when dropped from 254 cm onto concrete
- Internal pressure: 0.8 bar – 0.9 bar (pressurized core)
- UV stabilization additive: ≥0.5 wt % to prevent surface degradation
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Core Material | Natural rubber (NR) or NR‑SBR blend |
| Felt Cover | 70 % wool / 30 % nylon, needle‑punched |
| Diameter Tolerance | ±0.15 mm |
| Weight Tolerance | ±0.5 g |
| Rebound Tolerance | ±5 cm |
Manufacturing involves precision injection molding of the core, followed by a controlled curing cycle to achieve target pressure. After molding, the felt sheath is applied via a adhesive‑free winding process, ensuring uniform thickness and eliminating delamination risks under repetitive impact.
Beach tennis courts present a unique challenge: sand particles infiltrate standard felt, accelerating wear and altering ball trajectory. The selected wool‑nylon blend exhibits a sand‑release coefficient below 0.2, meaning particles slide off rather than embed, preserving consistent play characteristics over extended sessions.
- Recreational beach clubs requiring durable, ITF‑approved balls for daily use
- Regional and national tournament organizers needing consistent batch‑to‑batch performance
- Training facilities utilizing lower‑pressure variants for skill development drills
- Resort hospitality operators seeking low‑maintenance inventory for guest activities
Wholesale packaging options include corrugated cartons of 48 balls each, stacked on pallets with interlayer slip sheets to prevent shifting during transit. Each carton is labeled with lot number, production date, and compliance reference, enabling traceability for quality audits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the internal pressure be adjusted for specific training needs? Yes, pressure can be customized between 0.6 bar and 1.0 bar depending on the desired bounce and play speed.
What information is required before a quotation is issued? We need the requested quantity, preferred core type (pressurized or non‑pressurized), felt blend specification, and delivery destination to calculate freight and any applicable duties.
How is quality inspected before shipment? Each lot undergoes random sampling for diameter, weight, and rebound height per ITF Appendix I, plus visual inspection for felt integrity and surface uniformity.
What packaging methods protect against moisture and UV exposure during export? Cartons are lined with polyethylene moisture barrier film and stored in UV‑stable pallet covers; optional desiccant packs are available upon request.
