RS All Court Black Edition
The RS Black Edition is the foundation of the Robin Söderling brand. In 2026, it is celebrated for bridging the gap between the soft feel of a Wilson US Open and the legendary durability of a Dunlop Fort. Söderling developed this ball to avoid the 'pingy' or plastic feel of mass-market balls, opting for a high wool-content felt that provides a cleaner, more dampened impact. It is a medium-paced ball that excels on medium-to-fast hard courts, providing a predictable bounce that doesn't vary as the pressure drops. For the 2026 season, the felt has been refined to resist moisture even better, making it a favorite for outdoor club matches where conditions can be unpredictable.
