The reason PB ball does not bounce higher is by design. If the ball bounces too high, it makes it too easy for your opponents to hit a kill shot. There are actually softer balls geared toward beginners with a higher bounce (Onyx). Advanced players wouldn't go near those Onyx balls.
As a 25 year tennis player who now exclusively plays advanced PB, I can tell you that without question PB is easier on your ankles, knees and hips. I can play PB 4 hours every day with no problem, but after 1.5 hours of singles tennis I would need at least 3 days off before the next match.
Not sure what made you draw your above conclusions, but they make about as much sense as your expert opinions on EVs.  |
Onyx makes duralast 40 balls, onyx pure 2 balls bounce the exact same height and within gram or two of weight. Differently in plastics formula and holes. Onyx pure balls along with other brands are made of softer formula, less noise, bounce more consistently even when old, and harder to put ball away due to their design. Why most pickleball players here in villages don’t like them cause the played with lopsided, inconsistency, cracks easily dura balls. Most don’t like new dura balls cause the play differently till the get ruffed up. Another thing The pros play with who ever sponsors tournaments.
