Abstract

This paper discussed the proposal of tennis ball recycling required by environmental problem and introduced research and development of high quality recycled ball named "ECO Ball". Furthermore, it showed the effect of felt called Melton on the spin behavior and the ball control by comparison between a tennis ball and a smooth surface ball without felt. It also discussed the characteristics of used balls with variety of felt composed of wool and nylon and its relation to the variety of court surfaces.
