The Penn Control+ Green Dot ball is the ball for POP Tennis
The International POP Tennis Association has selected the Penn Green Dot ball as the official POP tennis ball because its internal pressure is set at the correct compression rate of a standard tennis ball (25% compression). If a standard tennis ball is used, it should be punctured to reduce its internal pressure.
Compression test for a POP tennis ball:
If you don't want to buy the correct ball and you'd prefer to modify a standard tennis ball, use this simple compression test recommended by the International POP Tennis Association. When the ball is dropped from a height of 6 feet, the bounce should not be less than 31 inches or more than 33 inches. You can depressurize a traditional tennis ball by inserting a needle into it and put it to this test.
