Does anyone know what the deal is with the Wilson green ball? Both Lawler Sports and RacquetballWarehouse have removed them from their site. That would be really bad if Wilson discontinued this ball. The green Wilson is the best IMHO.

I know this doesn't answer your question but, try the Wilson 20/20 ball. It has quickly become my favorite ball to play with. Extremely high visibility, true bounces, and a fair pace. And this may sound crazy - but in my head it has been very easy on my arm.

All signs indicate that Wilson is discontinuing the green and moving to push their pink 20/20 ball. I've used the Wilson green consistently over the years and it is a lot lighter and more durable than the ProPenn green which feels so heavy on the arm.

The pink is a great ball. My buddy and I used it all summer long (he was buying the Hope cans). It really reminded me of the playing characteristics of the Penn HD. But it terms of durability these are some of the best. No broken balls during any of our games. The rallies were fast and you really can see the ball better.

I don't think I'll have any problem transitioning to the pink which plays nearly identical to the green but is much easier to see.

Thanks for the replies. I wonder how this compares with the Wilson pink hope ball? Or is it the same ball? I played a tourney with the pink hope ball, and while the cause is great, the ball was terrible IMHO. I wasn't the only one who thought so. While it was light and fast, the bounce was very incosistent. If the 20/20 plays like the green wilson, I'll be happy.. I guess I just have to try it.

I have only played with the "hope" ball twice and didn't like it at all.

I played with the Wilson Hope ball today for one game and everyone hated it. Gonna try the 20/20 ball though.
