Having hit with some foam tennis balls with a friend and enjoyed the diversion, I decided I would like to buy some to use with teaching kids to play tennis. The ones my friend had were about the size of a softball, bounced predictably, and moved in slow motion. They were fun to practice big strokes with.

So I checked out the offerings. The Unique Foam balls sounded and appeared to be similar to those I had used, but the advertisement did not mention how large they were. I decided to try them, thinking they were probably larger than a regular tennis ball. That was a mistake. When they came, they were the same size as a tennis ball. I still thought they might be usable, but when I tried them out, I was not pleased with them at all. They do not bounce as well as the larger ones--that is, not as lively, a lower bounce. Because they are smaller, they travel through the air a bit faster; and what makes them almost useless for my purposes--they are not truly round, so the direction of the bounce is unpredictable.
