No, I don't think so. The ball has more of a solid core, not hollow...that is kind of bouncy/foamy. I don't think it would hit right.

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

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

This item is larger than a tennis ball. there are three sizes... small is tennis ball size. there is an x-large about the size of a softball and large is in between.

No, not very well at all. Youd be better off buying one of those things made specifically for throwing tennis balls for your dog

Hi Laurie. Yes, you can remove the ball and use it as a fitness ball, replacing it when you want to use it as a chair.

if the item in question is this one: KONG Squeaker Tennis Balls, Large Dog Toy, 2-Packthey are definitely a little larger than a tennis ball. specifically it wont work with a chuckit or other type of thing that is meant for tennis size balls.

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

I dont think the ball would have the same action as regular tennis ball. Plus, the weight of a meteorball is about three times the weight of a tennis ball so you would not want to get hit with that! I also believe the performance of the ball is diminished once it bounces too hard on the ground, usually causing the ball to not light up anymore. So I guess you could play tennis with it but I don't think you would like the results. Hope that helps.

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.

This one is about the same size as a tennis ball, maybe a tiny bit smaller.

I doubt it. They won't even sell you the ball separately from the mount. Don't ever let anyone steal the ball. You can't buy a replacement separately.

I don't know for sure. Though it's definitely not an exact replacement part, there is enough stretch that you might be able to loop it around the frame and thru the outer net and latch back onto its own ball. Worth a try.

No. It is a smaller ball. A tennis ball is close to the size of the lightning strike machine. The ball is size of a ping pong ball.

I've not had to change the balls. The unit is made of plastic. If I had to change them, I would just pluck them out as the plastic surrounding the balls would give.

no. this only works with tennis balls. they sell a different ball saver for racquetballs which is smaller than this one.

Wow, sorry I didn't respond earlier.... I see that others were more quick on the uptake thank goodness. But I don't think that this would work as a tennis ball. I think it's a bit harder and the bouce is a little different than a tennis ball's since it has the hole in the middle.
