Equipment
For the past few weeks we've been playing in 30 deg heat, but tonight we were playing in a big stadium where it was well under 20 degrees when you weren't playing (Melbourne was cold tonight).
We went through 7 of the plastic balls (we broke 4 in 1 match - 2 heavy hitters).
Could it be because the extreme decrease in the temperature today?? Have you heard of this happening before with the plastic balls? It never happened with the old balls.
Hi Beauford,
That is interesting. I haven't heard of this happening myself but it certainly sound feasible.
Has anybody else had an experience of the plastic balls breaking after an extreme decrease in temperature?

I confirm. Plastic balls break (even) easier when they are cold.
