I wonder if they practice with a Kukuuri to perfect their swing !

It would certainly keep the officials in line ! L:O:L

Pretty hard on tennis balls though.

The tennis balls must fly pretty fast.......at that altitude...

That's what I was thinkin'.
Also, I bet they bounce like crazy as well.

hmmmm......no I'd guess, air resistance is less so the topspin which makes the ball drop abruptly will have a lesser effect at such altitude,the ball shall fly straighter. Those kids must play like Jimmy conners !

 

[DaddyDett]

I was thinking the balls would be more "live".
The resistance against the outer skin of the ball is less at
altitude, thereby reducing the resistance against the ball "rebounding" to it's normal shape after compression/deformation, no?

Well the ball speed'd be faster, and atmospheric pressure lower, coupling with inherent pressure inside the tennis ball, therefore more compression and thus more rebound ! Ya right ma man ! :thumbup:

I wonder if the balls are made at altitude, would solve the problem of greater presure inside.
