Dunlop Stage 2

Dunlop Stage 2 tennis balls are designed for children aged 6 to 8 and adult beginners. Thanks to their lower internal pressure, they fly 50% slower than standard balls, giving players more time to prepare and execute their shots. Approved by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), these balls are suitable for play on all court surfaces, from clay to hard courts. This is the official ball of the ATP Monte Carlo tournament.

Progressive training for the youngest players

The Dunlop Stage 2 model represents a key step in the Tennis Play and Stay methodology, which focuses on teaching children tennis effectively. The reduced speed and lower, more predictable bounce help beginners read the game better and focus on technique. Children get more time to position themselves correctly and execute their shots, leading to faster progress and building confidence on the court. These balls are ideal for recreational play, training sessions and first junior tournaments.
