Full Review
Indoor pickleball is a different game, and it demands a different ball. The Gamma Photon has established itself as one of the go-to options for indoor play, with characteristics tuned specifically for gymnasium and sports-court surfaces.
Build & Quality
The Photon uses a softer plastic compound than outdoor balls, with 26 larger holes designed for the calmer indoor environment. The two-piece construction creates a seam, which is typical for indoor balls. The softer material provides a quieter playing experience — a key consideration for shared gym spaces.
Performance
Play is noticeably slower than outdoor balls, which rewards patience and shot placement over raw power. The softer material gives more dwell time on the paddle, allowing for greater spin manipulation. Bounce is lower and more predictable on smooth indoor surfaces.
The Verdict
The go-to ball for indoor play. If your courts are in a gym, the Gamma Photon is purpose-built for that environment.
