Tool to mark (tennis) balls?

Does anyone know if there is some tool to quickly mark your tennis balls with your sign? I usually use a felt pen to do that but now I have about 100 balls that I want to identify and was wondering if there is a stamp or other instrument that lets you do that quickly and reliably.
Thanks!

Well, I use a black oil-based permanent marker to put a few dots on the contours / the lining that separates the felts (instead of the felts which can hardly be colored) of the balls. These are the places that easily get colored, and they are less likely to hit the ground or the strings, thus I seldom have to re-paint the marks. Once it just took me 10 minutes to mark 60 balls.

Hope this help.

Just get a giant magic marker in red, and put a penny-sized spot on each ball. The red stands out against the yellow fuzz, and it doesn't wear off as the ball goes bald because the ink soaks in. Also makes it easier to see your spin, as the red dot is easy to see.

I know you can sometimes get them marked by the manufacturer with your sign or initial but I am buying these at a discount so that won't be an option. I thought maybe there is some tool to burn or stamp a mark on there (like there is for books and sheep).

You can get a soldering iron and burn your initials on your balls. Be careful not to go too deep.
