Bulk Indoor Outdoor Pickleball Balls Manufacturer
Product Overview
Our pickleball balls are molded from a single-piece polymer blend designed for consistent bounce and durability across indoor wood courts and outdoor asphalt or concrete surfaces. Each ball meets USAPA specifications for diameter, weight, and hole pattern, ensuring tournament‑level playability in high‑volume training or recreational settings.
Material Composition
The core material is a proprietary polypropylene copolymer with a density of 0.92 g/cm³, selected for its low water absorption and resistance to UV degradation. Additives include a stabilizer package that maintains impact strength after 500 hours of simulated sunlight exposure, extending outdoor service life.
Dimensional Specifications
| Parameter | Typical Value | Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter | 74 mm | ±0.5 mm |
| Weight | 26 g | ±0.5 g |
| Bounce Height (drop from 200 cm) | 135 cm | ±5 cm |
| Hole Count | 40 | ±2 |
Performance Characteristics
Bounce consistency is measured according to ASTM F1887, with a coefficient of restitution between 0.78 and 0.82 across a temperature range of 5 °C to 35 °C. Abrasion resistance is evaluated using a Taber wear test; after 1000 cycles the surface shows less than 0.1 mm material loss, indicating suitability for frequent outdoor play.
Applications
Indoor facilities benefit from the low‑noise polymer that minimizes echo on hardwood surfaces, while outdoor installations rely on UV‑stabilized compounds that prevent brittleness after prolonged sun exposure. Typical users include school sports programs, community recreation centers, and commercial clubs that require bulk quantities for drills, leagues, and tournaments.
Quality Control
Each production lot undergoes three inspection stages: (1) raw material melt flow index verification, (2) in‑line dimensional checking via laser gauges every 500 balls, and (3) final bounce and compression testing on a sample of 1 % of the batch. Non‑conforming units are segregated and re‑processed to maintain lot uniformity.
Customization Options
- Color matching to Pantone or RAL standards
- Custom logo pad printing (single or dual color)
- Alternative hole patterns for specific game variants
Custom orders require a minimum run of 5 000 balls and include a pre‑production sample for approval.
Packaging and Shipping
Bulk packs are supplied in 25‑kg corrugated cartons with internal dividers to prevent deformation during transit. Cartons are stacked on ISO‑standard pallets (1200 mm × 1000 mm) and secured with stretch film; each pallet holds 48 cartons, facilitating full‑truckload or LTL shipments.
