Box of 18 tubes of 4 Dunlop Stage 1 green balls

Dunlop Stage 1 Ball: The Perfect Transition to the Full Court

The Dunlop Stage 1 (Green) ball represents the final step in learning before moving on to the traditional yellow ball. This box of 72 balls (18 tubes of 4) is specially designed to meet the needs of tennis schools and developing players (typically around 9-10 years old) who are starting to play on a full-size court.

Technically, this ball has a lower internal pressure than a standard ball. It is about 25% slower and offers a slightly lower bounce. This feature is fundamental: it gives the player more time to position themselves, prepare their stroke, and hit the ball. It encourages longer rallies and better technical setup on the full court, without the difficulty of managing a ball that is too fast.

Dunlop has used high-quality felt to ensure excellent visibility and abrasion resistance suitable for intensive club use. Packaged in pressurized tubes, these balls maintain their freshness and liveliness until opened, guaranteeing optimal playing conditions at every practice.
