would tennis balls work

Good Morning,Sorry it took me so long to answer your email but we were closed for a 4 day weekend.This machine only uses baseballs.

Tennis balls will go through the machine but they are smaller in size and therefore seem to take awhile to grip and don't pick up speed or accuracy for height adjusted to.

I'm thinking racquetballs are slightly smaller than tennis balls so my impression would be NO. You will also find that newer, clean, dry tennis balls shoot further. Our dog just loves this ball launcher. Warning, don't "cock" it too far or the trigger mechanism might break.

not likely. most of those exercise balls don't use a needle...they have their own kind of pump. I blew up some big play colorful balls in a few minutes but they took a needle.

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.

In my opinion, absolutely NOT. It works fine for tennis balls but the weight of baseballs would be too much.

No, they take a special size ball that is only available from this manufacturer. We had some that were only a fraction larger & will not pitch them very far. Tennis balls would fit the machine but pitches them right out on the ground if at all. Be sure to order extra balls with the machine.

No...tennis balls are too heavy for the air pressure that throws out the balls.

Yes works for baseball and tennis. Needs to be in line with the ball coming at or going away from it otherwise angle error will degrade accuracy.

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.

ONLY PENN QST 36 Felt Tennis Balls which are about 9 inches in diameter. elevate the machine with crates or a stool. these are not regular tennis balls.the whiffle balls may be good to volley or even for overhead smashes, otherwise.

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, 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.

I doubt it would work for baseballs. It works by squeezing the balls between the rails. Baseballs are larger and harder than tennis balls, if they squeeze through the rails, they would likely bend the rails and the balls would end up falling out. Just my guess.

If you are looking for something light and not very durable I would say yes. I have not personally used them for that but if the process you use works on standard ping pong balls it would probably be the same on this one. I hope this helps out.

Not specifically, but they could work for that. They do help grip the 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.

Regular tennis balls work in it, but please read the reviews before you purchase one.
