As providing golf balls and tennis balls …. Hell no! Just go to the Driving Range first and get a bucket of balls like I do.
They eventually break. I played for several months before I learned that new pickleballs are shiny and smooth. They get scuffed up pretty quickly. Some of the "elite" players like to play with brand new balls, and may confiscate a few nice new ones for themselves, if they can find some, but many just buy their own balls and use them, rather than play with the old scuffed up balls.
I play with whatever is available at the courts, unless they are cracked. Then they get stepped on, squashed, and thrown in the garbage.
