What are the best tennis balls to withstand the rigors of repeated use in a serving machine or ball basket? Are pressureless balls a better choice for this purpose, or are there specific pressurized balls designed for high-volume use? Do factors like felt type and core construction play a significant role in durability during machine practice? What brands and models have you found to hold up best under these demanding conditions? Share your experiences and recommendations.

Pressureless balls are ideal for ball machines - they maintain consistent bounce for months despite heavy use. Wilson Pressureless Practice balls or Gamma Pressureless Training balls are excellent investments. While they feel slightly heavier initially, they don't lose pressure over time like regular balls.

If you prefer traditional pressurized balls, look for "extra duty" varieties with thicker felt. They're designed for hard courts but work better in machines regardless of surface because they resist fluffing and wearing down.
