Tennis ball DUNLOP Stage 2 Orange — low-compression training ball, pack of 3

DUNLOP Stage 2 Orange tennis ball is a low-compression training ball sold in a pack of three. Designed for slower bounce and reduced speed compared with standard tennis balls, it helps beginners and junior players develop stroke technique and control on smaller or modified courts. The Stage 2 specification makes rallies easier to manage, supports progressive skill development and is suitable for coaching sessions, practice drills and introductory play.

Advantages

The lower internal pressure and softer felt covering produce a slower rebound and reduced pace, providing better control for developing players. Packaged in a set of three, these balls offer consistent performance for coaching and practice. The orange stage compression and enhanced visibility of the felt color make ball tracking easier for learners and instructors during rallies and drills.

Suitable for

• Junior players learning basic strokes and footwork
• Coaching sessions and group lessons
• Practice drills on reduced-size or modified courts
• Introductory play where slower pace improves technique development

Key specifications

• Compression level: low-compression, Stage 2 (orange)
• Quantity: pack of 3 balls
• Surface: felt-covered tennis ball suitable for hard and synthetic courts
• Intended bounce: reduced rebound compared with standard competition balls
• Target users: beginner and junior players, coaching environments

How to use

Use these low-compression balls for structured lessons, warm-up routines and practice drills on smaller court sizes. They are intended to be played at reduced speed to allow longer rallies and more time for stroke adjustment. Replace balls when felt becomes excessively worn or when consistent bounce is lost to maintain reliable practice conditions.

Usage recommendations

For training progression, start beginners with Stage 3 (red) or foam balls for initial introduction, move to Stage 2 (orange) balls to develop stroke consistency and then transition to standard compression balls as timing and control improve. Store balls at moderate temperature and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve felt condition and compression.
