I got these balls so that I can play with my little son who has started taking lessons. They are bigger than regular ones, they don't have pressure, and they are generally slower. I had my doubts about whether I could handle them myself (used to regular ones), but in the end, they require much less effort. You can hit without trying to put power, because the balls are simply slow. So I can give him a pass for him to hit it, without making my body a "mop" from the pressure to avoid giving more energy. Also important, the spin doesn't cause a big miss, so if you put it at some point, you don't do a trick shot on the beginner. Every time we went for a game, we had a great time and I don't think they will wear out soon.
