Verdict
America's default can, the official ball of USTA Leagues for about $3.50 a can by the case, but it's priced for volume and plays like it, with reviewers saying it fluffs and goes flat in a set or two.
The dry, dusty overgrip that still works when your palm gives up in the third set.
A comfortable modern 98 that gives rec regulars easy depth without a boardy, tour-stiff feel.
