I saw on Discovery or Learning channel, I think, that it is CO2 in most balls. The rubber is porous enough for O2 to pass easily. Regular air will pass back and forth as you pressurize it in a tank. Eventually, the harder to pass molecules, N2 and CO2, will not bother to go into the ball. This...

For match balls, they stay in the garage, in a box. For used balls to practice with and put in the ball machine, I have 2 pressure tanks that keep them at the proper pressure and hardness.

The secret to cocaine during, it to replace your rosin bag with it.

With diabetics, they warn against orange juice as it spikes the blood sugar very fast and very high. That should give you a boost in a hurry.

Could be. They can also go flat just sitting, after opening the can.

I think the holes stay pretty close to the same size. It takes a while for the CO2 to leave the ball. We have noticed regular air, after some time, escapes faster then the CO2 it origanally had. As you recharge them with air, the CO2 keeps leaving but only air goes in and the concentration of...

Sorry, seems you cannot post that you sell them. Could someone help me remove that comment. I would like to thank reBounce for pointing that out. They have sent me a letter about this and the tanks. I guess they are nervous. Big 'ol me. Gonna take some of their customers.

Wow, I just got a letter from reBounce asking me information about my tank. Did anyone else get it? They must be afraid I will infringe on their idea.

Pre Tape We go to a lot of meets and tournaments for my kids. The trainers will put a few turns of foam pre tape on, then roll it up and place it just below the knee cap. It's cheap, everyone should have it in their bag and you can pick colours to match your racquet:shock:

Paul, if you are still looking, I have them that hold just over 60 balls each.

Newbie Ok, I am just starting out. I have shoes for just the court. I have a racquet. I am ready to play. My wife was so embarrassed, she gave me a bag to at least go on the court with. I really didn't care. I do not have the skill to know that my hands were slippery or that I can improve a...

Being a newbie, how do you judge the size of grip you actually need? Just going by feel, everything works, sorta'.

Tennis ball saver Figure the prices are like this: 3 balls $10-$15 68 balls $195 400 balls $3000-$5000 plus annual gas fees Now all you have to do is see which size you need and amount you can afford. Or compromise and get a couple of the small ones.

Just NIKE it and Do It Paul, You should do it. It can be done. A small one can use a pump and PVC. If you want big, you have to either manufacture it or search for a cheap one on line. See what they have done at the Green Machine. That will give you some ideas. I am making them now. You can do it.

Not so, I DO make them. And I do sell them. The main draw back, is that once you have the 1 or 2 you need, you don't buy anymore. They are stainless steal, they don't break, they don't need much for repairs and you can use it as a jack stand for your car. It's not like the electronics...

Don't say I didn't warn you, but yes. There is a way and it can still go off in your hand. You will loose lots of balls trying to get just the right pressure, too. You will need a tank that will go high enough to charge the balls with enough pressure to explode. Yes the stainless steal tanks...

Cold weather Did have some troubles over the weekend. 2 tanks of balls are about 9 months old. The felt holds up well, as you only hit it a couple times each practice. They are good as new still. Over the last week, the temps dropped. Since they are stored in the garage, they got cold, too...

ah, warm balls If your partner is carrying you, then get new balls when she tells you to, but if you are the best on the court that day, just tell them it has helped your game to get to this level. That will make them stop laughing!:evil: (to your face anyway)

to do what ever the wife says. If mammas not happy, no one is happy.:cry:

Western Hemmisphere How Its Made, a show on the science channel did a show on tennis balls. They normally film in Canada. I have seem them do shows in the states as well. I cannot think they went all the way over there for the show, or that they would be allowed to see how it's was done in...

True. The tanks are smaller then the tennis ball machines. about 8 inches across and 3 feet high. toss it in the trunk or jack a car up with it, it will hold the weight. 3 balls are ok to just play a match, but to practice with 200 balls, you can't keep buying them every couple weeks. That is...

I've put them on craigslist in Atlanta too. They are too much equipment for a general player, but a must for a coach or ball machine.

re use Has anyone tried the different brands and models in one of the small pressurized cans? The one you pump up to keep them fresh. I am researching so I can make suggestions in my documentation on a large tank.

Ocd You don't have to be a clean freak to have OCD. If you tried to stop him from doing any OCD ritual, his stress level would go way up. It's a way to stay calm. Even baseball players do things like jump over the chalk lines. Besides, if you keep the bottles straight and win, why would you...

recharge tennis balls Yes it can be done. I have done it. My tank holds 60-68 balls. It would take 2 tanks to do some ball machines. If the ball is relatively new, a month or less, you just need to store them on 15 PSI. If you collect them from around the courts and they are unknown, you have...
