Yes. Our CORE Outdoor, CORE Indoor, CORE Impact, and CORE ECO pickleballs are all engineered to meet USA Pickleball (USAPA) standards for tournament play, ensuring the correct weight, bounce height, and flight diameter.

Choosing the best pickleball balls depends entirely on where you play and your priorities:

• Outdoor Play (Standard): Choose the CORE Outdoor Pickleballs. These are engineered with 40 precision-drilled holes to resist wind and a hardened plastic to withstand rough asphalt surfaces.
• Indoor Play (Gym/Tile): Choose the CORE Indoor Pickleballs. These feature 26 larger holes and a softer material for better control and a consistent bounce on smooth surfaces like wood or tile.
• Best Budget Option: Choose the CORE IMPACT Pickleball. These are our most affordable high-durability balls, featuring reinforced seams and crack-resistant polymers perfect for everyday recreational and community play.
• Quiet Practice: Choose the Core Stealth Pickleballs. These are virtually silent and safe for indoor drywall, making them perfect for home practice or noise-sensitive areas.
• Sustainability: Choose the Core ECO. As the world’s first fully biodegradable professional pickleball, it offers tournament-level performance with zero environmental footprint.

The main differences are hole count, weight, and hardness:

• Outdoor pickleballs (like our CORE Outdoor Pickleballs) have 40 small holes to minimize wind interference. They are made of harder plastic to bounce properly on asphalt and concrete.

Indoor pickleballs (like our CORE Indoor Pickleballs) have 26 larger holes. Because there is no wind indoors, these larger holes create more "drag," which provides better control and a slower, more strategic game on smooth gym floors.

While leading outdoor balls often crack within a few hours of aggressive play, CORE balls are built for longevity.

• Typical Lifespan: Our reinforced plastic outlasts the competition, though life expectancy varies based on court surface and temperature.
• Cold Weather Tip: All pickleballs become more brittle below 50°F. For winter play, we recommend the CORE Outdoor Pickleballs ball, as it is built to last and handles temperature fluctuations better than standard balls.

To maximize the lifespan of your equipment:

1. Temperature Control: Avoid leaving balls in a hot car or a freezing garage. Extreme temperatures can warp the shape or make the plastic brittle.
2. Keep them Clean: Wipe your balls down with a damp cloth if they pick up court grit or dirt. Surface debris can act like sandpaper and wear down the ball (and your paddle face) prematurely.
3. Rotation: Don't play with the same single ball until it breaks. Rotating through a 3-pack or 6-pack ensures even wear and keeps the bounce consistent across your whole set.
