Just the right bounce to allow you to do more spins and other shots. This is the ball to purchase if you play pickleball on an outdoor court. To hit topspin well, though, the paddle is very important because it's tougher to lift these balls.
Cons
These balls are not playable. The holes are irregular (which designates indoor balls) and they do not function well on outdoor courts. They will not bounce like a spherical object should.
They are not durable at all. At all. They seem old and brittle. Looks like a bad batch from manufacturing or they heated up during transit.

Great ball but when it goes out of round it gets a little lumpy
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Not as good as the g2s for casual rec use and wind but that is to be expected from a tournament ball
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
These balls work good unless there is any wind then they blow all over the place
