Not Good for Hardwood Gym Floors
Dec 1, 2023
The X-40 is hands down my favorite outdoor ball so I am not anti-Franklin or anything like that. Unfortunately, these balls skid like crazy on hardwood gym floors. The ball will come in and bounce but stay low and speed up. I played with the blue color which does show up against the floor but frequently gets lost around waist level - that's a major problem. I am sure there is a floor these must be designed for but it is definitely not a hardwood gym floor. ***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

Bought for indoor at our Rec Center
Oct 27, 2023
These balls had no bounce, "dead", my plans were to replace the indoor balls at our Rec Center to start our Cold Weather season (more indoors). 12 people c/o these, asking "Where are the old balls", so I switched them back. Not sure what to do with these balls, thinking about taking them to Second Chance Dog Shelter. I have used Franklin before. I emailed Pickleball Central to see if they knew of any issues but never heard back from.***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

Counter-sunk holes are bad design, plastic low quality
Oct 19, 2023
Spend your pickleball dollars elsewhere. I've bought 6 of these balls (2 cans of 3), and the quality is severely lacking. In one game (we don't smash very much) we split 2 of these balls down the seem. Even when new, they bounce weirdly off the large indented holes. The counter-sunk holes look neat visibly, but I think they affect the bounce and grip of the ball. Overall the design and plastic construction is poor. I've played with cheaper china-plastic crap indoor balls that were much better. Franklin needs a new indoor ball line. Their X-40 is superb. Disappointed with the X-26.

Orange indoors balls
Aug 19, 2023
I ordered orange balls and the bag said they're orange, however, they've very light and look pink. My friends said they're Barbie balls. Wouldn't buy again.

These balls are rubber balls and not worthy to be used indoors or outdoors. I'm so disappointed in them. Definitely won't be using these or even purchasing more!
