Do u think this would work well as a tennis ball for playing actual tennis?

Um, no. Not a 'serious' game if you want points to count or anything because it's going to bounce odd if it lands on one of the hole openings. And it's a little heavier than a tennis ball. But if you just want a knock-around just-for-fun game at night with the court lights off, give it a try, and tell us about it ;)

YES! I have German Shepherds, Tennis balls are terrible for dogs teeth (glue deteriorates tooth enamel), The Chuckit balls are amazing! I pull a thick nylon rope through the hole and knot both ends and we play tug, toss, carry. Its a great ball. My GS's will crush a tennis ball but these keep it fun and we can play i the dark.

It has a hole in it so it may be difficult,but it actually might be fun to play with in the dark just for fun :)

No. Manufacturers of REAL tennis balls (not 'dog' tennis balls, but REAL tennis balls designed for playing tennis) must conform to very strict manufacturing procedures so that their balls can be trusted to bounce reliably and predictably in a tennis game. Tennis balls are strictly regulated. Imagine playing tennis with a ball that can't be trusted to bounce predictably! You might have noticed that dog 'tennis' balls don't bounce very well--they aren't really tennis balls.

I asked what made it glow,was it safe for dogs and humans, in the past radioactive thorium was used on the dials of instruments to make them glow, not safe! My question was removed!?

Not being a tennis player, I can't answer this from experience. I can tell you this, a tennis ball weighs 2.0 OZ, the Chuckit weighs 2.5 OZ. The Chuckit bounces higher than a tennis ball. Also, the Chuckit is slightly smaller than a tennis ball and it has 2 opposing holes in it, and ridges in it that emulate the seams on a baseball, which could make it act different than a tennis ball.

Not a player, but the medium seems smaller, the large is definitely bigger and they're more like a racquetball. It's got good bounce on hard surfaces but quickly deminishes the softer it is. real noticeable from hard packed red clay and the same with 1/8 inch sand on top. because of the two holes it will not bounce straight up and down, sometimes with great shift.

Wow, sorry I didn't respond earlier.... I see that others were more quick on the uptake thank goodness. But I don't think that this would work as a tennis ball. I think it's a bit harder and the bouce is a little different than a tennis ball's since it has the hole in the middle.

Since racquet balls are smaller than tennis balls they will fit, however, I'm not sure if the pressure needed for preservation or restoration of the balls will be adequate for racquet balls due to the size difference. Tennis balls fit like a finely tailored glove in this thing & that is why it works. Good luck.

Yes, this ball is very suitable for a straight bowler. If you try to hook it u can get a very very slight movement but other than that if you straight bowl this ball is perfect for you.

Yes, it is,when I bought it looks nice ball, but it's not resistance material to play ,I did bought one and is wrepped off, already. So god lucky

probably not, I mean you could make it work. But ultimately I think no. I have two racquets and it's perfect for that. It has a side pocke that fit's keys, wallet, cell phone.

I think it might be a little small to be affective as a CRAZY catch with a soccer ball. But I think it would work fine to bounce the ball back at you if that is what you are looking for.

It doesn't work well at all. The way it's designed does not give a clear impression but rather smudges. No it will not work on tennis balls.

No, I don't think so. The ball has more of a solid core, not hollow...that is kind of bouncy/foamy. I don't think it would hit right.

Yes, it can be used for practicing tennis volleys. We do this all the time. The height is adjustable and 36" is perfect for tennis volleys.

Maybe, I have used it only to play the pokey and the billiard. I dón't know, but guess that it could be used on top of the table.

I don't think so. I do not have a tennis ball on hand to compare - but this ball is not heavy! My pit-mix Tootsie loves this ball - I love it since she has not been able so far to destroy it!! A few days ago she lost her ball somewhere in our back yard.....she went into mourning! I bought 2 more from Amazon which came yesterday.....I have a happy dog again!!. I do think though that we have the larger size!

yes, i think so. smaller scale than regulation tennis, we use jr. racquets with low compression balls. it's a great fun and good introduction to tennis for little ones and the adults love it too!

no it is smaller than a tennis ball. It is good for my tiny dogs, but a big dog might swallow it and choke. do not buy it for a big dog.

It only comes with a tennis sized ball. I don't think it would function well attaching a larger ball. Hope that helps. It is fun to play as is.

Yes you can. However, the ball will bounce much faster off of a tennis racquet and I think it would make it much harder to counter. The game comes with durable plastic paddles which work just fine.

Yes, very easily. A tennis ball is smaller than a baseball, so it will fit in the box with no problem (I actually looked at our box and and a tennis ball to make sure.)

Yes, however, the ball does not engage or release as easily as a tennis ball would, especially upon launch. I have a medium size Chuck-it and it's too much of a hassle to use with this ball. It's very lightweight at least.
