• This ball serves as an alternative for learners who need more practice and time when tracking and striking an object. Its size, shape and speed are desirable for beginning and lower-skilled learners.
• This ball will still float like a balloon, but will drop slightly faster with the added weight of the tape.
• Use more tape for faster air travel, use less tape for slower air travel.
