Before that it's slick, it slides out of your\u003cbr\u003eshooting hand, and your first few sessions are spent fighting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposite cover skips that entirely.

The\u003cbr\u003echannels between the panels are cut deep, so your fingers find the seams\u003cbr\u003ewithout looking — which is what lets you control a crossover and get a\u003cbr\u003econsistent release without thinking about where your hand is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt grips with dry hands and it still grips when you've been playing for\u003cbr\u003ean hour and you haven't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOFFICIAL SIZE 7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[75–76 cm] circumference, [620–650 g] — the size used in men's\u003cbr\u003ecompetition. That matters more than it sounds: practise on a ball that's\u003cbr\u003eunder weight or off size and you're training a shot that won't repeat\u003cbr\u003ewhen you play on a proper one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOURT AND STREET — WITH ONE HONEST CAVEAT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composite cover handles both a wooden court and an outdoor surface,\u003cbr\u003ewhich is why it's the sensible choice if you play in both places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut be realistic about outdoor courts: rough concrete and asphalt wear\u003cbr\u003eany composite cover down over time.
