Mantis Orange Tennis Balls (Bucket/Poly Bag)
Description
Designed for development without compromise, Mantis orange tennis balls offer the ideal balance of control, visibility, and consistency for junior training and beginner progression. With a 50% slower speed than standard balls, they allow players more time to prepare, move, and develop proper technique—building a strong foundation from the very first swing.
Whether you're a coach guiding groups or a parent helping your child learn the game, orange tennis balls are an essential tool for building skills and confidence.
Key features:
-
Low-compression construction
Orange tennis balls bounce lower and travel slower, giving players more time to learn proper footwork and shot mechanics. -
Two-tone design (yellow & orange)
Enhances concentration and helps young players recognise spin—perfect for developing visual tracking skills. -
Ideal for coaching and early-stage learning
Whether on mini courts or full setups, orange tennis balls are a go-to for coaches working with kids or adult beginners. -
Needlefelt cloth for all-weather durability
Absorbs less moisture than woven balls, making it more reliable in variable conditions. -
High value, long-lasting build
Durable construction delivers excellent cost-per-use for high-volume sessions. -
Bulk formats available
Choose from 72-ball buckets or recycled poly bags to suit any training setup.
Perfectly suited for Stage 2 tennis and mini court configurations, Mantis orange tennis balls are the smart choice for progressive training—helping players learn, grow, and love the game from the very beginning.
