what type of tennis balls are best for tennis ball machines

I have been spending some time reviewing various tennis ball machines and it wasn't until I read an article I came across at www.about.com that I started to think about what balls might hold up better in ball machines. The article didn't cover much info except that pressureless balls are best, stay away from worn out balls and don't use oversize tennis balls.

Tennis ball machines are used less frequently than ball hoppers and might sit for some time before being used, pressureless balls might be your best way for keeping the balls from becoming flat. Check out tennis online retailers like Amazon.com and Gamma SPorts for good deals on pressureless tennis balls.
