Could tennis balls be used with this machine?

I don't think they would work very...it seems to need a bigger plastic ball.

No, tennis balls would be too heavy. The lightweight plastic balls included with the machine work best. It's a great batting machine! My kids love it

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.

yes, you should be able to throw a good distance, they are just a little less firm than a tennis ball(?). Hope this helps

Since a tennis ball is smaller than a baseball, it will fit; however, the supports in the bottom are too far apart to keep the ball from wiggling around a little when the case is moved.

Regular balls are not recommenced by the mfg so I have never tried and do not plan to. Would recommend some other machine. Bill

I think a tennis ball would be too heavy for this. I bought the package of replacement balls for extras....they're lightweight like a wiffle ball.

The balls that come with are just a little smaller than Ping-Pong balls, but they would probably work, as would some of the small nerf balls (we had some from nerf gun) or other small balls, the "catcher" will accommodate a larger ball.

I don't see why not. I haven't but the machine is adjustable for ball height whether it is a super soft or soft are balls. But this machine rocks and it is the best thing I bought. Makes our practices go so much smoother!

I would imagine a tennis ball would be too heavy for it. I have thrown it away, so can't test it for you.

Yes, a tennis ball will sit on the flat top if placed carefully. No, the top doesn't pop out. I think maybe you are playing a relay game, and this would work.

Hi. No a tennis ball will not fit. This machine is specifically designed for small (ping pong size) balls. It is excellent with helping hand/eye coordination. If you can master hitting with this machine it will greatly improve with hitting a regular baseball.

Yes but you need make sure that the shank(shaft size of the ball) is the correct diameter

Hi, yes you can use/play with this Wilson Ball. It is an official game ball.

The racquets are very light as they are just meant to hit the birdie. I wouldn't use them on a tennis ball.

It is a little bigger, but possibly it could fit.... The ball is heavier than a tennis ball

Yes. I used to use tennis balls, but these work much better, while still being just as gentle. They have more heft, no dyes to rub off, and no rubbery smell.

I believe so! The pump comes with two small attachments, and should work for standard exercise balls. However, I have not used it for that myself.
