“Coordinate term: extra-duty”

“The men at the U.S. Open use what is known as an “extra-duty” ball, which means the felt on the outside of the ball is woven slightly more loosely than the “regular-duty” ball the women use. […] However, the regular-duty balls “play faster,” Collins said through a spokeswoman for the company.”
