Gearbox Racquetballs - 3 Ball Pack - Sleek Black

Update (3/22/2016):- After almost two months, 5-6 hours a week, of hard hits and serves, the first ball gave up and tore around the seam (see picture). While I thought it would've lasted a bit longer, considering the price and wear that was being put on the ball, I still think it's acceptable. The ball's behavior did not change drastically over time and was consistently in line with how I was expecting it to play. On to the next ball!-------Look no further if you're interested in a ball that makes moderately-paced rallies more accessible.I'm more of an enthusiast player with a bit of a shoulder problem. I've often found myself getting sloppy when playing with various ball formulations (blue, red, green) and was looking for a ball that was consistent, predictable, durable, quick enough to get you moving, but slow enough to let me focus on swinging technique & placement -- this one checks all the boxes! The ball feels more "natural" when playing, landing where you expect it to be, has a little extra "hang-time" to dial in your placement, and doesn't feel heavy when hitting (nice and cushy feel with just enough feedback). Bounce feels just right, but players who like to hit back-wall balls might find it a bit frustrating at first since these do not carry the same bounce/rebound as others. It's also very easy to track the ball compared to other colors (even more so than the pink). Still on ball #1 and have yet to see any sign of degraded performance.Perfect choice for those who want to focus on playing moderate-pace rallies; not-so-great choice for those looking for fast-paced, high-intensity rallies.

Good product. I recieved the gearbox black as a gift. If you are used to a fast hard game be prepared to change the way you play with a slower opponent. They will be able to get to more shots. The ball is much slower than anything I've played with. For me it was a game changer with more methodical ball placement.

Exactly as described. Much slower than green/red/purple balls when you want to play a longer volley. Love Gearbox stuff.

Really didn’t care for these. Not a lot of pop and just felt like cheaper balls play better.

Pricey, but a really good ball. Easy to track, doesn't seem to break as easily as other brands.
