How much is a can of tennis balls in your country?


I was watching a random youtube vid and the guy said the cans of tennis balls were $2.17 per can (3x balls) from wal mart. Does he mean $2.17 per ball?

Here in Australia proper balls are about $6.50 USD per 3x, or $5.00 USD for the cheap ones. I know regional pricing can be pretty funky some times but 2 or 3 times the cost seems a bit strange.

Looks like Aussie prices are pretty good as well, British prices for decent balls are a lot more , examples below

www.google.com/search

Suspect the Walmart ones are, well, what you might expect from Walmart...

Welcome, tyresebro1

Went in the local Sports Direct, as a survey of what you could just pick up on the 'high street'
Here are some of that they had available
All prices are per calculated to per ball, as pack and can sizes vary. USD in rates are as advised on xe.com at time of inquiry

 

MakeGBPUSD
Performance Balls  
Wilson Federer£1.26$1.63
Wilson US Open£1.25$1.62
Slazenger Wimbledon£1.33$1.71
Head Tour£1.25$1.62
Head Core Murray£1.00$1.29
Dunlop Australian Open£1.25$1.62
Dunlop ATP£1.00$1.29
Babolat Roland Garros£1.75$2.26
   
Practice Balls  
Slazenger Stage 1£0.75$0.97
Slazenger Academy£0.72$0.93

 


You can bulk order 144 tubes at once to get considerable discounts on most of these balls

I suspect the Babloat RG balls are expensive in the UK as there are very few clay courts on which to employ them. Therefore demand is probably comparatively scarce.
On the continent, with many more courts being proportionately clay, they would possibly be amongst the cheaper alternatives, with the Wimbledon grass court ball perhaps being the type with the premium.

 Wow, remind me to go into Sports Direct versus the internet search I did then!
