That said, tennis is an incredibly fun sport; a lot of people, young and old, enjoy playing. It is a racket sport in which two or four players hit a ball back and forth over a net. The object used to play with in this game is called a tennis ball. A tennis ball is a spherical rubber ball. They are bright yellow with a soft, fuzzy surface, and filled with air that helps them bounce.

Tennis has been played for centuries, but the tennis ball itself has a relatively recent history. The first tennis ball was devised in the 1500s. It was made out of leather stuffed with hair, so it differed from the balls of modern football. Over time, people began encasing tennis balls in a fluffy material and encasing that in felt. The first tennis balls entered production in the 1800s, and subsequently have become cannon fodder in the game we know, love — and now play.

The Evolution of a Tennis Ball Tennis Ball

First of all, tennis balls have evolved over the years. The initial tennis balls were heavy and were thus difficult to hit and did not get a great bounce. New rubber technology allows us to create lighter, bouncier tennis balls that play better. Tennis balls today are manufactured to be a particular weight and size so that they bounce just right when they hit the ground or when they are struck by a racket.

Like everything else, tennis balls can be developed in new ways to enhance the game. Starting in the 1980s quite a few players began training at high altitudes, meaning that they were training reasonably far above sea level. This resulted in manufacturers producing special tennis balls for utilization in such courts. At high altitude, there is a lower air pressure that can have an impact on the bounce of a ball.
