Dunlop Stage 2 Orange Junior Tennis Balls (3 Ball Can)

Dunlop Stage 2 Orange

Dunlop Stage 2 (3 Ball Can) contains three low-compression tennis balls designed for junior players and beginners developing control, timing and rally consistency. As part of the ITF Play & Stay progression, Stage 2 orange balls are approximately 50% slower than standard tennis balls, giving players more time to prepare, track the ball and execute cleaner strokes.

These pressure-reduced balls are ideal for use on mid-sized courts, typically 60-foot courts, helping bridge the gap between mini tennis and the full court. The durable felt construction provides reliable bounce and long-lasting performance for coaching sessions, school programmes and regular practice. The bright orange and yellow colour improves visibility, making it easier to judge ball flight and develop confidence during rallies.

Staff Pro Review

The Dunlop Stage 2 is an excellent transition ball for juniors moving up from red balls or for adult beginners learning fundamentals. The reduced speed makes rallies easier to sustain, which helps improve technique and confidence without feeling rushed.
