AVAILABLE FOAM BALL (FB) LINE
All Yellow FBs are offered in two densities:
- balls of lower foam density of +/- 62 kg/m3 are slower with lower bounce
- higher density balls of the +/- 72 kg/m3 foam are faster with higher bounce.
MBTA explicitly warns that using the 150/190mm FB for playing with tennis rackets can be dangerous for the players!
MBTA sometimes uses 150FBs with skilled players capable using them after clear warning being given that all strokes must be supported by the body action and wrist needs to be locked. MBTA seldom uses the 190FBs and sees them mainly as conditioning/ coordination tools (not for hitting w/tennis rackets).
In general, unlike with other tennis learning systems being developed after the initial DTBT rollout in 1997/98, the main focus of DTBT is at stroke quality & sound technical foundation for further player development without any technical limits.
