Tennis Ball Aerodynamics and Dynamics
2004The detailed aerodynamics and dynamics of a tennis ball have only recently been uncovered with the help of a series of experimental studies (Mehta and Pallis, 2001, Cislunar Aerospace, Inc., 1998). Intuitively, one would expect the (rough) fabric covering on the ball to have an effect on the aerodynamics, but the extent of the effect turned out to be ...

Dynamic properties of tennis balls
Sports Engineering, 1999Measurements are presented on the dynamic properties of several different tennis balls, during impacts on a force plate. The force on a tennis ball rises rapidly to about half its maximum value in the first 200 μs of the impact due to compression of the cloth cover and the rubber wall near the impact point. The wall then collapses inwards, resulting in

Recent research has shown wear to affect ball performance during play, but contributing factors to wear differences have not been well identified. A framework has been developed to aide a systematic investigation into these factors. Several of these features are investigated in this paper, including repeated impacts, racket impact conditions ...

Eye Injuries From Tennis Balls
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1976To the Editor.— With the ever-increasing popularity of tennis and of eye injuries of the type described by Seelenfreund and Freilich (235:2723-2726,1976), I should like to share with the readers a seemingly obvious (but often forgotten) piece of advice given to me many years ago. When standing at the net waiting for your partner to serve, never, never
