Why Should You Keep Used Tennis Balls?

Tennis players, especially coaches, know how expenses on tennis balls can add up quickly. A can of three tennis balls can cost on average $2. Add this cost up, and a tennis player could spend up to $35 a month just on tennis balls alone. Nobody wants to spend this much on something as simple as tennis balls, but it is an essential part of tennis.

Now, consider tennis coaches. They need at least two baskets of tennis balls for their lessons. For those coaches that use the bigger baskets that look almost like shopping carts, they spend a lot more each time they need to replenish their baskets. These baskets hold up to 72 cans of balls each! Tennis balls become a big expense for tennis coaches.

But, there is a way to save money on tennis balls for those who want to avoid this large expense! Here are some tips you can use to save money on tennis balls:

Option 1: Sell the used tennis balls. There are tennis shops that buy back used tennis balls. All you have to do is put them back into the cans with a proper lid and take it to the store. They usually buy it back for 10 cents per ball. This may seem like a small amount, but it adds up compared to just throwing the balls away. It is money you would be throwing away. So, take advantage of the tennis ball buy back!

Option 2: Buy pressureless tennis balls. They never die, and you can reuse them. They can be washed and dried like your clothes and still bounce like new. These run for about $3 per can. They cost about the same, but last a lot longer! This is a better deal for those that do not mind the downfall of these pressureless tennis balls! The downfall is the different feel tennis players get on the racket from hitting these tennis balls; it basically feels like you are hitting a dead ball.

Option 3: There is a myth that is actually true: microwave a dead tennis ball, and it will come back to life. So, if you are adventurous enough, try this out!

Option 4: Mark your balls with your initials or a colored dot, so they won't get mixed up with balls from other courts.

These are simple little things you can do to save some money on used tennis balls.
