Review on ๐Ÿ“ Selkirk SLK Competition Ball - 40 Hole Outdoor Pickleball Balls for Tournament Play - USAPA Approved Pickle Ball - Lime Green Pickleballs by Aaron Cruz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very bad quality. Let's get back to Durafasts.

I left a review about the seller but since he didn't bother to reply I think the review is justified. I bought them because Dura was out of stock. We immediately noticed a significant wobbling on the first ball that we put into play. Okay, maybe just a lousy apple in the bunch. No, the second did the same. I've noticed wobble on some Franklin X balls, but not as pronounced as these balls. After 2 games we just gave up playing with these things and went back to our durs. After the game we examined the SLK Competition balls and found that they all have weak points. One side of the ball would be as hard as the dura mater and the other hemisphere would have soft spots, you could thumb the ball down like it was a Penn 40 Outdoor or something. Definitely not what we're looking for in a competition ball. I really have no idea how Selkirk can claim that these balls have "permanent flight," probably the most important attribute of any ball.
