Wilson Triniti Tennis Balls take sustainability to the next level with fully recyclable packaging. We love the one-of-a-kind octagonal paper container and the plastomer material the balls are made of, which significantly extends the fresh ball feel. The name “Triniti” comes from the ball being sustainable, high-performing, and… because of these two innovations, Triniti maintains that fresh feel 4X longer!

Choose the racket model and the frame design (including patterns and colors); then add decals, logos and additional details to make it as unique as the athlete who will be receiving it. Trust us, this is a thoughtful gift that will keep you in the gift recipients’ good graces for years to come.
