This was my first experience with the Core brand pickleball. It is definitely a tad harder than the Franklin X40 ball, the bounce is noticeable since it stays close to the court. I also noticed that it holds up better than the Franklin X40 with the bangers. Not sure how the temperature impacts this ball since I play indoors at this time. Sound off the paddle is very different over Dura fast 40 & Franklin X40 but feel is something to work on. I think the ball feels heavier but easy to adjust after a few games & training sessions. I truly think that ball is worth the higher price. Highly recommend this ball.
