Legal Ball Specs: 26–40 Holes, Under 1 oz
Summary
Aylex walks the USA Pickleball Equipment Standards: a legal ball needs 26–40 circular holes (section 2.D.8), weighs 0.78–0.935 oz (always under 1 oz), and measures 2.87–2.97 inches across with tight out-of-round limits.
Maker name/logo must be printed or embossed. Handy checklist before you argue whether a practice ball is “legal enough” for league.
Key takeaways
- Holes: 26–40, circular
- Weight: 0.78–0.935 oz (< 1 oz)
