HEAD T.I.P. Green 3 Tennis Balls Single Can

The HEAD T.I.P. Green (Tennis Instruction Program) is HEAD’s Stage 1 transition tennis ball, engineered for children aged 9 to 10 and adult beginners who are moving up to a full-size tennis court (23.77 m X 8.23 m). Developed alongside the International Tennis Federation's (ITF) "Tennis Play & Stay!" initiative, it serves as the final stepping stone before players move to standard pressurised yellow balls.

Performance Profile

1. Compression & Speed: 25% Slower. Features a pressureless or low-compression core that travels 25% slower than a standard yellow ball, giving players slightly more time to set up and execute proper swing mechanics.
2. Controlled Bounce: Bounces slightly lower and softer than a standard ball, staying predictably within a comfortable strike zone without springing out of reach.
3. Standard Dimensions: Sized identically to standard tennis balls, helping developing players adjust their visual tracking and strike timing to standard ball dimensions.
4. High-Visibility Green Dot Felt: Features a standard yellow felt shell marked with a distinct Green Dot (or half-green felt pattern) to clearly identify it as a Stage 1 transition ball.

Best Suited For

1. Player Age & Level: Children aged 9 to 10 years, intermediate junior trainees, or adult beginners refining their stroke consistency.
2. Court Setup: Full-size standard tennis courts (23.77 m X 8.23 m).
3. Equipment Pairing: Ideal for use with transition junior rackets sized between 25 inches and 26 inches, or full-length 27-inch rackets for advancing players.
