Great Balls. Don't let them go away
My club has put me in charge of keeping us supplied with balls.
We even have a fund set up for that. We’ve played with all colors, and we finally settled on Onix Orange for their visibility and durability but discovered another pink brand
last fall. We liked the visibility better than orange, but that brand cracked easily. I discovered Crown on the Wal-Mart website and I bought (2) 3 packs for trial purposes. They seemed to hold up better than the other brand and was only a shade or two difference in color.
I was authorized to purchase a box of 100 through Wal-Mart. Now we rarely play with any other color.
I put the 1st of the 100 out on December 19th last year and as of this writing we have gone through 70. (We have multiple days and playing times at my club.) I started looking
for some more. I found out they are no longer available through Wal-Mart and had decided they had probably been discontinued. My search eventually led me to CROWN ATHLETICA where I found some on Clearence. I ordered a box and though saddened by the possibility of losing this brand, me and my club appreciated the bargain on these visible and durable balls. After confirming that they were the same ones we have been using I ordered a second box (for fear of running out). This will keep us supplied in pink pickleballs for close to 2 years. If we lose access to these pink balls I guess we'll have to go back to another color. I've already told several members of my club that we could always go back to the orange.
There is at least one club that really loves these Pink DragonFruit pickleballs and sometimes,
when some of our members play at other locations and share our pink balls they receive
positive comments about the visibility. It will be sad if these balls go out of production.
