    • Franklin X-40 vs. Dura Fast 40 (vs. Onix)
Color: Optic Yellow Style: 12 Pack Pattern Name: Pickleballs
Review Image by Trevor & Tiffany G Trevor & Tiffany G
Review Image by Trevor & Tiffany G Trevor & Tiffany G
Review order: Review summary (quick read) Review update (4-13-2021) Full review (long read) Summary: This review might save you a lot of time researching balls, but here's the summary if you don't want to read the full review... For 4.0+ play consider the Dura Fast 40 when preparing for certain tournaments, but expect only about 2 games per ball, which is quite annoying in my opinion... for 95% of players, definitely go with the Franklin X-40 (except when preparing for a Dura only tournament of course). If you just want the ball to last and last year after year and don't care at all about egging or quality of play consider the much softer and much slower and much bouncier Onix ball. The Onix ball is so soft that I can't recommend it for typical play, but it is actually an excellent choice when introducing new players to the game and it is often the preferred ball in 65+ play if mobility becomes a common issue because extra bounce = extra time to get there, but in my area many older players seem to play the X-40 just fine. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Update: 4-13-2021: Popularity: Almost everyone in my area is playing the Franklin X-40 in every park. I finally saw a Dura in play yesterday, but it's been a long time! Outdoor tournaments in my state are now about 60% X-40 and about 40% Dura (Washington), so even in tournament play the Dura seems to be going out pretty quick. Seasonal durability of X-40: for the first year I don't think my group cracked a single X-40 (despite having a faster paced game), but using that same batch of balls this Spring, they've all been dropping like flies so now my 1 year old batch of X-40's probably isn't much more durable than brand new Dura's (very annoying to deal with those cracks). I just bought new X-40's yesterday and I'll be discarding the few X-40's that are left from last year when the new stock arrives. It will be new X-40's for me once a year from now on assuming quality doesn't slide... fresh manufacturing is apparently very important, so hopefully Franklin will keep their runs moderate, and maybe that's what Dura did wrong.(?) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Full review: This review will focus largely on the physical & quality comparisons between the Franklin Outdoor X-40 pickleball and the Dura Fast 40 pickleball, but I'll also give a summary of my impressions from the mouth of experts and supplement also by my own amateur impressions and measurements. Dura hole specs: 16 drilled holes @ 0.325" & 24 drilled holes @ .264" Franklin hole specs: 40 drilled holes @ 0.288" Both balls have 40 holes with an average hole size of 0.288", but the Dura ball has a far more randomized hole pattern. I personally didn't notice any difference in spin characteristics or any notable advantage to the randomized hole pattern of the Dura. Franklin weight: 26g Dura weight: 25g Both balls are rotationally molded in one continuous piece so the seam is just as strong as the rest of the ball on either ball... the appearance of a seam is on the outside of the ball only but the visual molding mark is not actually separated in any way in the middle of the ball and the inside of the ball will likewise appear 100% seamless on either ball, so no true seam exists (both balls are true "1-piece" balls). The Dura ball has much smoother molding marks w/ no plastic flashing like the Franklin... this is primarily cosmetic but quality in this regard definitely goes to the Dura. Subjective color preference: in the shade I think the Dura "Neon" color looks better (see pic), but in typical full sun the green tint looks dingy on the Dura ball in my opinion, and I feel the Franklin "Optic Yellow" is a crisper color that's probably a little more visible. These are the only 2 ball colors I have to compare. I would prefer more dye to be used for a green ball so it still looks green in full sun because in my experience with disc golf and ball golf neon green is the most visible color and neon pink is good too... with these 2 options I'd pick the yellow... the green tint on the Dura is so subtle in full sun it ends up looking more like a dingy yellow rather than a green. A more apples to apples comparison would be Dura's yellow option but I'm pretty confident Franklin would win that contest also based on the notably higher translucency in the plastic used by Dura. Color: Franklin wins. Franklin X-40 country of origin: China Dura Fast 40 country of origin: Vietnam - - EXPERT INSPIRED IMPRESSIONS - - From what I've gathered, expect much longer play per dollar out of the Franklin and expect very little life out of the Dura. Dura's are supposed to be a little harder/better/faster, but they often only last a few games based on everything I've read and heard. For older players consider the Onix over either of these balls... softer balls bounce higher and hit slower which allows more time to get to the ball for longer rallies... the Onix seems to be the favorite for play in older aged groups. Based on expert advise from the "pickleball kitchen" youtube channel... Best performance award (fastest, hardest): Dura Fast 40 Best Value (also w/ great performance): Franklin Outdoor X-40 - - - except high level players should opt for the Dura due to tournament requirements (note: this observation may be outdated... check tournaments in your state to verify what local tournaments are still using the Dura in your area and which tournaments have switched to the X-40) Longest lasting, but soft and bouncy: Onix Note: I have not seen a single outdoor tournament publish the Onix as their ball. My personal recommendation for most players based on a lot of reviews and some research and a close look would be to skip the Dura and go straight to the Franklin X-40 until you're playing tournaments... if/when you advance to the level of playing serious tournament play I don't think it would take long to transition muscle memory and power from the Franklin outdoor ball to the Dura ball and a lot of money and annoyance can be saved w/ the Franklin over the very brittle Dura... Franklin X-40 balls don't last very long either (according to some... possibly old stock), but compared to the Dura it's a notable improvement strongly worth considering even if you're a quality buff like myself. Manufacturing quality: Dura wins Material durability: Franklin easily wins and Onix lasts much longer still if you don't mind a notably slower game (more similar to indoor) and more egging. Quality of play: Mixed... many elite players prefer the extra speed of the Dura, but I prefer the consistency of virtually everyone using the same ball and even more notably, I'd rather sacrifice just a little speed to get the higher consistency / predictability / reliability of an uncracked ball and I find it distracting to look for cracks all the time. Value (w/o sacrificing much): Franklin Despite the long read, I'm hoping this helps the reader save some time in selecting a pickleball, especially for players new to the game. ... show more

    • The go to ball for practice and tournaments
Color: Optic Yellow Style: 12 Pack Pattern Name: Pickleballs
This ball has become my trusted companion on the court, having played with it in all three tournaments I've participated in. I firmly believe in the wisdom of practicing with the same ball I'll be competing with; it's a consistency that helps hone my skills and adapt to its unique characteristics. The durability of this ball is nothing short of impressive, holding up admirably for approximately three full days of intense play before acquiring enough fuzzies on the surface to warrant a replacement. Remarkably, despite my partner and I giving it our all and smashing it with some thunderous shots, I've never seen one crack. Frankly, I see no reason to venture into the world of other balls unless more tournaments decide to make a switch – it's a testament to the reliability and performance of this ball that keeps me coming back for more. A little pricey for a piece of plastic, though. ... show more

    • Hole size too small
Color: Optic Yellow Style: 12 Pack Pattern Name: Pickleballs
Review Image by G. Brown G. Brown
I bought these balls because I have some trouble seeing the yellow balls. I love the optic greenish yellow color of these balls. But I couldn't figure out why they didn't bounce as well and why I had to hit the ball harder. Turns out the holes are smaller than any of the balls that I or my friends were using. I've compared these balls with all the ones my friend use and unless I am wrong these pickle ball balls holes are just too small. I have the orange indoor balls with quite large holes, and the yellow balls with the medium holes like you see in the picture and these. If I could return these I would. Nobody will play with them. ... show more

    • Good outdoor ball once the correct product was delivered.
Color: Optic Yellow Style: 3 Pack Pattern Name: Pickleballs
The first product that arrived must have been something that should not have passed QC because one of the balls had a strange bounce to it. Also the weight seemed a bit off and was lighter than other Franklin balls that we play with. The replacement product that we received was the correct weight for outdoor. When you play there is definitely a difference. I am very happy with the replacement. ... show more

    • Good Balls
Color: Optic Yellow Style: 12 Pack Pattern Name: Pickleballs
I believe the X-40 ball is the ball many tournaments use. The Franklin X-40 ball plays well. The bounce is true and durability is good. I don't believe I've cracked a ball yet... worn a couple down, but they're still good practice balls. I'm a 4.0 player and play on average 3 times a week and try to practice once a week, so the balls get a decent workout and they're holding up pretty well. So buy them, I recommend them. ... show more
