Product Information
The Soft Bouncy Tennis Balls 3-Pack (Colour May Vary) is a multi-purpose recreational set consisting of three low-density rubber spheres covered in a soft synthetic felt. Specifically designed for non-competitive use, these 63mm balls offer a consistent rebound on hard surfaces while maintaining a lightweight profile to ensure safer impact during indoor and outdoor physical activities.
Product Specifications and features
- • Core Construction: features a low-compression rubber interior, which provides a predictable bounce height without the extreme velocity or hardness of a professional-grade tennis ball.
- • Felt Quality: Wrapped in a non-abrasive synthetic felt, specifically chosen to be gentle on skin, clothing, and the dental enamel of pets during fetch games.
- • Durability: The heat-bonded seams are reinforced to prevent the felt from peeling or "shelling" during repetitive bouncing on concrete or asphalt.
- • Quantity: Sold as a convenient 3-pack, allowing for continuous play and providing backup options for use in multiple locations or for several participants.
Ideal Use
- • Introduction to Racket Sports: A foundational tool for South African school-aged children to practice basic swing and contact skills in tennis, cricket, or rounders.
- • Low-Impact Pet Play: Ideal for lightweight fetch sessions with dogs, offering a soft texture that is easy to carry without causing jaw fatigue.
- • Indoor Coordination Drills: The soft-core design makes these suitable for hallway games and hand-eye coordination exercises, as they pose a lower risk to household fixtures.
- • Occupational Therapy: Frequently used as tactile therapy tools or hand-strengthening squeezers for individuals requiring soft-resistance grip training.
Safety Precautions
- • Choking Hazard Warning: Due to the small size, these balls are not suitable for children under 3 years of age or for large dogs that may attempt to swallow them whole.
- • Supervision Requirements: Pet owners should monitor their animals during play; these are recreational balls and are not designed to withstand aggressive, heavy-duty chewing.
- • Damage Inspection: Regularly check for splits or loose felt; if the internal rubber core becomes exposed or the ball loses its shape, it should be discarded immediately.
- • Surface Storage: To maintain bounce integrity, store in a cool, dry place out of direct, long-term South African sunlight, which can eventually degrade synthetic rubber.
Frequently Asked Questions
- • Are these suitable for professional tennis courts? No, these are recreational play balls; they do not meet the strict ITF pressure requirements for competitive league matches.
- • Will they fit in a ball launcher? Yes, because they maintain the standard 63mm tennis ball size, they are compatible with most manual and automatic ball launchers.
- • Do they float? Yes, the low-density construction allows these balls to float on the surface of water, making them suitable for supervised pool or beach play.
- • How do I clean them? If they become dirty after outdoor use, hand wash with cold water and a mild detergent, then allow to air dry completely.
