Rec department tried about 6 years ago with engage balls (which I’m sure they got good deal with bulk order?) which was better than duralast 40s, but old guard Pickleball community complained and they switched back to dura last with month or two. Different younger crowd now maybe they will accept better balls? Still got lot of old crowd influencers that may muck up the change?
