The X-40 is now the Official Ball of the US Open Pickleball Championships! Review: Do not judge it by the color .. but by the quality of its build - The most durable ball in South Texas heat. The bright color becomes matte after a few games, which I don’t mind. When I pull them out at local tournaments I get mixed reactions—to some not being yellow is like trying a new religion!. Most people do prefer the color that they’re used, I get that, but when I tell them it’s a fresh Franklin x40 most give em a go. Some even (sorry Trad pickleball gods) convert. When I see others bring their own I feel a level of affirmation on par with accidental cult leader getting their first members. So yeah, it’s a great performing ball in a color that pops, and a great value. I love this game Review: Great quality official Franklin X-40 Pickleballs - The pickleballs came packed nicely and are the official Franklin X-40 pickleballs. Will continue to buy these. They are cheaper than buying a 3 pack in the store and they are the same quality ## Features - OFFICIAL SIZE AND WEIGHT: 26 gram weight; 74mm diameter - BALANCED flight pattern due to 40 precisely machine drilled holes - ONE-PIECE construction with rotational molding creates a stronger, long lasting ball - USA Pickleball Approved for outdoor tournament pickleball play. Official Ball of the US Open Pickleball Championships - BULK package includes 12 balls-stay playing on the court longer! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07XN65XRM | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Age range (description) | All Ages | | Ball Type | pickleball | | Brand | Franklin Sports | | Brand Name | Franklin Sports | | Color | ネイビー | | Colour | ネイビー | | Construction Type | one-piece molded | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 74 Reviews | | Included Components | pickleballs (12) | | Item Diameter | 74 Millimeters | | Item Type Name | PCKLBL X-40 12 PK EMBER | | Item Weight | 26 g | | Item weight | 26 g | | League Name | USA Pickleball | | Manufacturer | Franklin Sports | | Manufacturer Part Number | 52943X | | Material | Polyethylene (PE) | | Material Type | Polyethylene (PE) | | Model Number | 52943X | | Number of Items | 12 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Outdoor pickleball play, practice | | Size | 12 Pack | | Sport | Pickleball | | Sport Type | Pickleball | | UPC | 025725559121 | | Unit Count | 12 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** All Ages - **Brand:** Franklin Sports - **Colour:** ネイビー - **Item weight:** 26 g - **Material:** Polyethylene (PE) ## Images ![Franklin Sports Outdoor Pickleballs - X-40 Pickleball Balls - USA Pickleball (USAPA) Approved - Official US Open Ball - 3, 12, and 100 Bulk Packs of Pickleballs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tP44q6RjL.jpg) ![Franklin Sports Outdoor Pickleballs - X-40 Pickleball Balls - USA Pickleball (USAPA) Approved - Official US Open Ball - 3, 12, and 100 Bulk Packs of Pickleballs - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FeBTBjkfL.jpg) ![Franklin Sports Outdoor Pickleballs - X-40 Pickleball Balls - USA Pickleball (USAPA) Approved - Official US Open Ball - 3, 12, and 100 Bulk Packs of Pickleballs - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wcWK8hRzL.jpg) ![Franklin Sports Outdoor Pickleballs - X-40 Pickleball Balls - USA Pickleball (USAPA) Approved - Official US Open Ball - 3, 12, and 100 Bulk Packs of Pickleballs - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gk9nN3uyL.jpg) ![Franklin Sports Outdoor Pickleballs - X-40 Pickleball Balls - USA Pickleball (USAPA) Approved - Official US Open Ball - 3, 12, and 100 Bulk Packs of Pickleballs - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717s3KY4nbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: the box I purchased have wobbly balls. What are doing for customers that bought from the bad batch of balls?** A: I’m done buying X-40s. Purchased a dozen 4 months ago and have had them replaced 3 times by the seller. Every dozen has had 8 or more that wobble uncontrollably out of the box. I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a pickleball to look elsewhere until Franklin acknowledges this problem and fixes it. **Q: I just received these balls and there is an obvious seam on the outside where the two halves meet. Is this what rotationlly molded should be?** A: I had the same question, but got the answer from one of their representatives: “One-piece balls, like the X-40, are rotationally molded and will feature a mold mark where the two halves of the mold come together - similar to the edge of a waffle coming out of a waffle iron. We have this excess material removed so that it does not impact performance, but there is still a visible mark. You will notice the inside of the ball is smooth and does not feature the typical plastic weld you see on two-piece balls like our X-26.” **Q: What is the orange ball I see at outdoor venues? Is that the Franklin red ball turning to orange?** A: I see on Amazon FOUR (4) ball colors now (7/8/2021) for the outdoor Franklin 40's (F40's). Yellow and Pink have both been around for at least fours years now. However, they now have TWO Orange colored ones that they call 'EMBER' and 'LAVA' which look like two different shades of Orange to me. I have not tried the new colors. They do look nice. Finding the Orange or Lava and Ember in smaller quantities may take some looking around. They do have them all on Amazon in bulk though (a hundred at a time) cheaper than than by the dozen for sure. I see too, Ben Johns, #1 ranked men's player, is now advertising the F40's. Seems most of the venues with the better 3.5 players and up, seem to prefer the F40's, I think because they play close to the Dura 40's, but don't break as quick and are much less expensive. Some report some of these balls have a wobble problem. I am going to explore that some more. I thought it was an optical illusion, but now think maybe not. Still, I like these balls the best for the outdoors for the play and the money. I'd play the dura 40's if I had money to burn. I do not. **Q: Will these last when not in use? Want to buy 100 and keep a fair amount stored until I need them - will they "go bad"?** A: Not a direct answer to your question but out of the 100 I bought 50% had imperfections/dimples/out of round. I have not even gotten an reply or correspondence from Amazon or the manufacturer other a request to answer your question...LOL! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do not judge it by the color .. but by the quality of its build *by L***X on 2 May 2026* The most durable ball in South Texas heat.

Will continue to buy these. They are cheaper than buying a 3 pack in the store and they are the same quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy with purchase. *by H***M on 5 April 2025* Great color, so I don't confuse it with the generic color most people have, but it feels heavier then the usual neon green. It says it is the same and is regulated for tournament play, but my family of 4 all agree it feels heavier. But, it does not interfere with our play. To me, it feels more durable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Franklin Sports Outdoor Pickleballs - X-40 Pickleball Balls - USA Pickleball (USAPA) Approved - Official US Open Ball - SLK Halo Pickleball Paddles | Halo Pro | Halo Control | Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle with a Rev-Core Power Polymer Core | Designed for Ultimate Spin & Consistency - ONIX Graphite MOD Z5 Graphite Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddles with Cushion Comfort Pickleball Paddle Grip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/677959836-franklin-sports-outdoor-pickleballs-x-40-pickleball-balls-usa-pickleball](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/677959836-franklin-sports-outdoor-pickleballs-x-40-pickleball-balls-usa-pickleball) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
