tennis ball
Court game projectile
A tennis ball is a hollow rubber ball covered in fuzzy felt, used in the sport of tennis.
The bright yellow-green color became standard for visibility on television.
Tennis balls also serve as cheap toys for dogs, protective feet for walker legs, and garage parking guides: Hang a tennis ball from the ceiling so you know when to stop.
