Tennis balls are crucial in playing tennis. They are round, they are bouncy, and they come in various colors. You may have seen them at the park or on TV. Read further to understand more about tennis balls and why are they necessary to play tennis.
Tennis balls have been around quite a while. They were once made of leather and filled with wool or hair. These balls didn’t bounce too well, so you had to hit them hard. Today, tennis balls are constructed from rubber with a fabric covering. This makes them a lot bouncier and easier to swat. Tennis balls are not what they use to be!
When you use a racket to hit a tennis ball, the ball goes flying through the air. This is due to the rubber in the ball. That rubber has air trapped in it — that is why it bounces. When the racket makes contact with the ball, the rubber compresses and then snaps back, slinging the ball. It's like magic!
Not all tennis balls are created equal for all players. Beginners may use softer balls that are easier to hit. Advanced players could use balls that are more difficult and that travel faster. You want the right ball for your game so you can play to the best of your ability. You can ask your coach or a tennis teacher to recommend the right type of ball for you.
Without tennis balls there is no tennis. We couldn’t hit the ball over the net back and forth without them. They are as essential to the game as the racket and a court. The next time you play tennis, thank the tennis ball for allowing the game to exist!
